Abstract
Liver damage in calves, produced by the oral administration of the flukecide, carbon tetrachloride, increased the toxic effect of diazinon but not of levamisole, whereas the presence of a renal tubular lesion caused by mercuric chloride enhanced the toxicity of both commonly used anthelmintic compounds. The toxicity of diazinon was increased in calves with a lung lesion caused by oral dosing with tryptophan, an agent implicated in 'fog fever' of cattle.
