Abstract:

Knowledge  of  the  biology  of  the  target  pest  is  essential  to  the  design  of  efficient  control  programs.However, information is lacking on many important aspects of the basic biology of sheep lice (Bovicolaovis) despite recommendations of the need for research in this area from past workshops. In this paperwe  summarise  some  of  the  more  recent  information  on  transmission  and  population  dynamics  of  sheeplice  and  discuss  implications  for  control.  We  also  describe  factors  which  may  regulate  these  processesand highlight some specific areas in which information is required.
