Abstract
SUMMARY: Succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities from a participate fraction of 4 isolates of the supposed ‘species’ ofTrichinella, T. spiralis, T. pseudospiralis, T. nativaandT. nelsonihave been determined using spectrophotometric methods. The ‘in vitro’ effect of the anthelmintics thiabendazole, mebendazole and ivermectin on succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities from the above isolates is also described. The significance of the results is discussed in the context of the controversy that surrounds speciation of the genusTrichinella.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
