Comparative Efficacy of Synthetic Acaricides Against Tick Infestations in Goats

Four commercial synthetic compounds, pyrethroid, organophosphates, macrocyclic lactones and phenylpyrazole have been used for tick control worldwide. However, periodic monitoring of the eff ectiveness of acaricides has not been fully explored, although such information could contribute to a more eff ective application, economic analysis and harmful impact on other organisms and environmental contamination. This study investigates the eff ect of cypermethrine (CYM), deltamethrin, trichlorphon + dimethylester, ivermectin (IVM) and fipronil on natural infestations of ticks in goats. The in vivo quantitative assessment of four tick genera i.e. Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus, Ixodesand Haemaphysalis revealed that both CYM and IVM treated groups resulted in significantly lower (P

Keçilerde Kene Enfestasyonuna Karşı Sentetik Akarisitlerin Karşılaştırmalı Etkinliği

Dünya genelinde kene kontrolü için piretroid, organofosfatlar, makrosiklik laktonlar ve fenilpirazol olmak üzere dört ticari sentetik bileşik kullanılmıştır. Fakat, akarisitlerin etkinliği periyodik olarak tam olarak izlenmemiştir ki bu tür bilgiler daha etkili bir uygulamaya, ekonomik analize ve diğer organizmalar ve çevresel kontaminasyon üzerindeki zararlı etkilere katkıda bulunabilir. Bu çalışmada, sipermetrin (CYM), deltametrin, triklorfon + dimetilester, ivermektin (IVM) ve fipronil’in keçilerde doğal kene enfestasyonu üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus, Ixodes ve Haemaphysalis gibi dört kene cinsi üzerinde yapılan in vivo kantitatif değerlendirmede hem CYM hem de IVM ile sağaltılan grupların, tedavi sonrası tüm günlerde diğer bileşiklere ve kontrollere oranla önemli ölçüde daha düşük kene popülasyonuna sahip olduğu saptanmıştır (P
