Seventy Swiss albino mice were orally infected by 300 <jats:italic>Trichinella spiralis<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>T. spiralis<\/jats:italic>) larvae. Mice were divided into infected untreated control group and infected groups treated with 50 mg kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> MBZ and 300 mg kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> ART for three and five consecutive days, respectively, at the enteral phase [2\u20134 days post infection (PI)], invasive phase (10\u201312 days PI) and encapsulated phase (28\u201330 days PI). All mice were sacrificed 35\u201342 days PI. MBZ and ART revealed a significant decrease in mean larval counts and increase of larval per cent reduction (LR %) when treatment was initiated during the enteral phase compared to the other phases. MBZ showed significantly higher LR % (99.7, 83.95 and 89.65%) than ART (80.58, 67.0 and 79.2%) when administered at the three infection phases. Histopathological study showed a decrease in the number of encysted larvae, their surrounding cellular infiltrates and increased regenerative muscles in all treated mice. In conclusion, ART possesses a substantial anthelmintic activity against <jats:italic>T. spiralis<\/jats:italic> infection in mice both at the enteral and encapsulated phases, yet, significantly lower than MBZ.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182021000056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]],"date-time":"2021-01-13T12:56:33Z","timestamp":1610542593000},"page":"630-635","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Therapeutic
