Abstract
The combination of praziquantel and albendazole (PZ + ABZ) used in the present study demonstrated an efficacy of 100% when used as chemoprophylactic treatment because no viable hydatid cysts developed after mice had been injected with protoscolices. However, when the PZ + ABZ combination was used for the treatment of 4-month secondary experimental hydatidosis, no significant difference was found between the control and treated mice, although severe damage to the cyst ultrastructure of the treated mice was observed.
