Seventy dogs were used to evaluate efficacy of divided doses of fospirate against immature Echinococcus granulosus infections in dogs. Dose rates of 10 to 80 mg/kg given on 1 or 2 occasions resulted in the clearance of 70.6 to 94.5% of expected worm numbers. At least 3 treatments may be required before dogs can be free from E granulosus. Vomiting, which occurred in dogs given doses of 40 mg or more/kg, seemed to interfere with anthelmintic efficacy in some dogs.
