Abstract The chemoprophylactic use of diethylcarbamazine citrate at total oral doses of 15–180 mg/kg body weight was tested against subperiodicBrugia malayi infection in the leaf monkey (Presbytis melalophos). A total dose of 45 mg/kg body weight given over 9 days killed all developing over 7 days killed all fourth stage larvae. The minimum effective dose that prevents infection would be 5 mg/kg body weight daily for 7 days every month.
