Patent infections of adult dogs with Toxocara canis induced by transplantation of immature, intestinal stages were examined for their suitability for testing of anthelmintics. Each of 5 dogs were infected four times by transplantation of 80 immature, intestinal stages of Toxocara canis. The dogs were treated with various anthelmintics of well established efficacy (pyrantel, nitroscanate, mebendazole, piperazine) 20 dpi. All anthelmintics tested showed the same efficacy as had been assessed earlier by treatment of dogs infected prenatally with Toxocara canis.
