The efficacy of 10 drugs was tested against Babesia felis infection in domestic cats. Primaquine phosphate administered per os or as an intramuscular injection was found to be highly effective and the obvious drug of choice when compared with conventional babesicides. The recommended dosage is 0,5 mg/kg body mass of primaquine base. Repeated treatments are well tolerated but single doses in excess of 1 mg/kg are known to cause mortality in cats.
