VPA-0092
QUESTION
Drug of choice for tapeworm infestation in sheep is?
OPTIONS
(A) Albendazole
(B) Praziquantel
(C) Levamisole
(D) Rafoxanide
ANSWER
(B) Praziquantel
EXPLANATION
Praziquantel is highly effective against cestodes and is therefore a drug of choice for tapeworm infections in sheep, including Moniezia spp. Albendazole may have some cestocidal activity but is not the preferred answer here, while levamisole and rafoxanide are primarily used against nematodes or trematodes.
