ABSTRACT
The susceptibility of Giardia lamblia to eight chemotherapeutic agents was studied in vitro. The criteria of viability of the parasite was the ability of the parasite to attach to the coverslip surface in situ, and to multiply in drug free media on subcultures. The giardicidal and 50% inhibitory concentrations of each drug were measured. The activity of metronidazole in vitro was found to be similar to that of mepacrine, whilst that of chloroquine was inferior. The sensitivity of G. lamblia to mepacrine and chloroquine is markedly greater than that reported for Entamoeba histolytica.
