Abstract: | The sheep biting-louse, Bovicola ovis (formerly Damalinia ovis), has developed resistance to the synthetic pyrethroid cypermethrin, and side resistance to other members of that chemical family (Levot et al. 1995; Wilson et al. 1997). Management strategies aimed at reducing reliance on insecticides will not only conserve the efficacy of existing products, but will help reduce residues in wool to levels that are acceptable to overseas’ markets. |
