Prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of Australian ‐registered insecticide formulations against Old World screwworm (Chrysomya bezziana) infestation

ConclusionDicyclanil spray‐on and ivermectin capsule formulations, both registered for use in sheep, but not for cattle or other livestock species, gave much longer protection against screwworm implants than the currently recommended SC ivermectin. Pre‐emptive action to facilitate rapid deployment of these formulations in the event of a screwworm incursion is urgently needed.
