Description
Claus Thomas and nine co-authors study, in twenty twenty-six, worms in the gut of a common African mouse and a drug used to treat them. The mouse, the multimammate mouse, is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. It is eaten in some places, so worms in it raise food safety and health concerns. Little was known about its gut worms or how they respond to ivermectin, a common worm drug. The team caught ninety adult mice.
Stool tests found five types of gut worms. The most common was a tapeworm found in about four in ten mice. Mice were split into treated and untreated groups. Egg counts in stool were checked every two weeks for eight weeks to gauge drug effect.
