Σήμερα έλαβα την απάντηση από Aquarium Pharmaceuticals σχετικά αν το General Cure θα ήταν δραστικό ενάντια στα Camallanus.


Thanks for contacting us with your question.

It is doubtful that Camallanus will be harmed significantly by General Cure. It hasn't done much to it in our lab. The only thing I know of that works well is Levamisole HCl, which you will have to obtain from a vet.

thanks and best regards,

Ωραία ,τον vet που το έχει που θα τον βρω.

Επίσης βρήκα και αυτήν την πληροφορία και κοιτάω για το πρώτο σαν εναλλακτική λύση που το έχω βρει σε κάψουλα που διαλύεται στο νερό για περιστέρια και καναρινιά.

I checked in Ed Noga's FISH DISEASE - DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT (Mosby, PO
Box 46908, St Louis, MO 63146, USA, 1995, book code 21874, $US 89.95, CAN
$127.75). You can order the book by credit card as well. Barry advised you
correctly, but you may not have used the proper vehicle to get the drug to
the fish. Noga advises Panacur (Fenbendazole) either as a bath or in food.
As a bath, it is used at 2 mg/l (7.6 mg/gal) once a week for three weeks. If
you can get it into feed at 0.25 to 0.5%, you can feed this food as 1% of
body weight per day. **** Levamisole HCl (=Levisol or Tramisol) can also be
fed in food or used as a bath. Use 10 mg Levamisol HCl per liter (38 mg/gal).
++++++ Piperazine sulfate 17% (Agrilabs) or Pipfuge 34% (Butler) is fed at 1%
of body wt/day for three days. You definitely need Noga's book. ***** If you
have any trouble getting these medications, I would suggest you get a
medicated cat food from a veterinarian. Ask for a medicated food that is
specific for intestinal nematode infections, and not for heartworms. These
kinds of strongly medicated foods cannot be purchased at an ordinary pet
store. +++++ I think your difficulty is soluble, but it will take a few
weeks to work. I do not think disinfecting aquariums will do any good, as
nematode eggs can be quite resistant to environmental chemicals. Just
cleaning with soap and water should wash away any eggs, if this nematode
species lays eggs. Many nematodes have living young, so disinfection of the
tank would be pointless; simply cleaning the tank with hot, soapy water
should be sufficient. It is not clear how you diagnosed the worms as
Camallanus. Diagnosis is important, as some nematodes of fishes have direct
live cycles difficult to break, while others require an intermediate host
such as daphnia. ++++ I am copying your email and my response to Dr. Noga, in
case he wishes to add anything, and to a number of others who should find
this of interest. - Bob Goldstein
