World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (W.A.A.V.P.) Guidelines for evaluating the efficacy of anthelmintics in swine

As a follow-up to a previous guideline publication on efficacy evaluation of anthelmintics in ruminants, an expert group of the World Association for the Advancement Veterinary Parasitology presents similar guidelines for the testing of anthelmintics in swine. The goal of the guidelines is to develop uniform testing standards and registration requirements. Data obtained from investigations according to the guidelines should be internationally accepted in the registering of drugs. Further, the use of the guideline may contribute towards reducing costs, labor and the number of experimental animals used for durg testing.
