Ticks are able to transmit important diseases to humans, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Q fever, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, summer Russian encephalitis, and relapsing fever.
To determine the repellency effect of 1% flumethrin pour-on formulation against hard ticks.
The concentration of flumethrin pour-on formulation was 1 mg/10 kg body weight and was administered on the dorsal midline from the head to the base of the tail. The livestock included cows, goats, oxen and sheep in 2 villages in Ardabil Province, Islamic Republic of Iran.
We studied 200 livestock comprising 5 age groups (< 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and >8 years). The main hard ticks identified were Hyalomma species (62.5%) and Rhipicephalus bursa (37.5%). In the treatment village, the maximum number of ticks per animal was 11.6 in oxen, 9.5 in sheep, 8.9 in goats and 8.6 in cattle. The repellency effect of flumethrin remained for 2 months.
Flumethrin provided 2 months protection against hard ticks. Therefore, it could be used in the livestock industry. Control of ticks is important for prevention of disease transmission.
蜱能够将重要疾病传播给人类，包括落矶山斑点热、Q 热、克里米亚-刚果出血热、俄罗斯春夏脑炎和回归热。
确定 1%氟氯苯菊酯浇泼剂对硬蜱的驱避效果。
氟氯苯菊酯浇泼剂的浓度为 1mg/10kg 体重，从头部到尾巴根部沿背部中线给药。牲畜包括伊朗伊斯兰共和国阿尔达比勒省 2 个村庄的奶牛、山羊、牛和绵羊。
我们研究了 200 头牲畜，包括 5 个年龄组（<2、3-4、5-6、7-8 和>8 岁）。鉴定出的主要硬蜱为血红扇头蜱（62.5%）和璃眼蜱（37.5%）。在治疗村，每只动物的蜱虫最多数量为牛 11.6 只、绵羊 9.5 只、山羊 8.9 只、奶牛 8.6 只。氟氯苯菊酯的驱避作用持续 2 个月。
氟氯苯菊酯能提供 2 个月的硬蜱防护。因此，它可用于畜牧业。控制蜱虫对于预防疾病传播很重要。
