A comparative study of the chemotherapeutic effects of diminazene aceturate and Ivermectin on Trypanosoma brucei brucei infected rats

Conclusions It was concluded from the results of this present study that DA has a better efficacy than ivermectin which has no chemotherapeutic effect against Trypanosoma brucei brucei infection. The efficacy of DA is on the decline because of drug resistance and incidence of relapse, therefore a search for effective alternative chemotherapy or drug combinations should be encouraged.
