This experimental study showed that daily oral administration of DEC at levels of 5 to 15 mg/kg/day with food for 3 weeks decreased the level of both developing and adult B. malayi in infected cats. There were no adverse reactions due to the medication. Topical application of 5% DEC in skin cream or in mineral oil appears to be effective in killing developing B. malayi in cats.
