Abstract: Cambendazole, isopropyl 2-(4-thiazolyl)-5-benzimidazolecarbamate, has been reported to be a highly efficient anthelmintic against gastro-intestinal nematodes of cattle (Egerton et al 1970; Baker and Walters, 1971; Ciordia and McCampbell, 1971; Benz, 1971a, b; Restani, 1971). Efficacy against the cattle lungworm, Dictyocaulus viviparus, has also been reported as high (Rubin, 1972; Gibbs and Gupta, 1972; Baker et al 1972). This paper reports the results of four controlled critical efficacy trials with cambendazole against naturally acquired nematode infections in cattle.
