Abstract
Nine rhesus monkeys naturally infected with Endamoeba histolytica were treated with terramycin HC1 each receiving 50-200 mg./kg. of one drug by mouth daily for 8-10 days. At the end of 12 weeks E. histolytica was absent from the stools of 6 monkeys; the other 3, the parasite recurred in 11, 9, and 5 weeks, respectively.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
