Abstract
Evaluation of efficiency pertaining to currently
used anthelmintics were carried out in Spotted
Deer (Axis axis) kept at Arignar Anna Zoological
Park (AAZP), Chennai and V.O.Chidambaranar
(V.O.C.) Park and Zoo, Coimbatore by Faecal
Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT) and Larval
Paralysis Assay (LPA). At V.O.C. Park and Zoo,
FECRT showed the 100 per cent susceptibility
to albendazole and at AAZP, FECRT showed 97
per cent efficacy for ivermectin and this indicated
the status of low resistance. In both the study
places, the results of LPA for benzimidazole
showed low resistance and were susceptible to
levamisole.
