Abstract

Yorke and Adams1have found that 5 per cent emetine fails to kill the cysts of Entamoeba histolytica in 30 min in vitro. This communication deals with the effect of emetine in preventing excystment of Schizopyrenus russelli and the cysticidal action of the drug in conjunction with sodium lauryl sulphate.
