Faecal droppings were evaluated by flotation and sedimentation methods. The sedimentation method revealed a higher number of positive results before, during and after the treatment, but the flotation method yielded some additional positive cases. In the reproductive unit, <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic> eggs were confirmed in 50% of the tested mice by the flotation and in 70% by the sedimentation method. In the nursery units, <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic> eggs were detected in 10.5% of the tested mice by the flotation and in 24.6% by the sedimentation method. A colony of mice was treated against the tapeworm <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic> with praziquantel and emodepside in doses of 2.574 mg praziquantel\/100 g body mass and of 0.642 mg emodepside\/100 g body mass. The content of the original pipettes (Profender<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>) was applied as a spot-on on the back of the neck in the area between the shoulders. The application was repeated three times at 14-day intervals. Seven days after the third therapy no <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic> was found in any of the tested mice in the reproductive or the nursery units. After the treatment, cannibalism was no longer observed. This treatment represented one of the steps aimed at improving animal welfare and preventing potential zoonotic disease. The public health significance of this cestode should receive more attention, especially among people who take care of mice, have them as pets, or feed them to reptiles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/004.2017.021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,13]],"date-time":"2017-06-13T08:49:58Z","timestamp":1497343798000},"page":"208-220","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Control of Hymenolepis nana infection as a measure to improve mouse colony welfare"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Alenka","family":"Dov\u010d","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Care of Poultry, Veterinary Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gordana","family":"Greguri\u0107 Gra\u010dner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Hygiene, Behaviour and Welfare, Veterinary Faculty, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iztok","family":"Toma\u017ei\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ksenija","family":"Vlahovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Pavlak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Economics and Epidemiology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Renata","family":"Lindtner Knific","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Care of Poultry, Veterinary Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Klemen","family":"Kralj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Clinic Max-Lavrica, \u0160kofljica, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mateja","family":"Stvarnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Administrative Legal Affairs, Veterinary Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Vergles Rataj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Microbiology and Parasitology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Gerbi\u010deva 60, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"425","container-title":["Acta Veterinaria Hungarica"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/akjournals.com\/view\/journals\/004\/65\/2\/article-p208.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/akjournals.com\/view\/journals\/004\/65\/2\/article-p208.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/akjournals.com\/view\/journals\/004\/65\/2\/article-p208.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]],"date-time":"2023-06-07T20:58:29Z","timestamp":1686171509000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/akjournals.com\/view\/journals\/004\/65\/2\/article-p208.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,6]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/004.2017.021","relation":{},"ISSN":["0236-6290","1588-2705"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0236-6290","type":"print"},{"value":"1588-2705","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,6]]}}}
