The effect of daily oral administration of flumethrin on the tissue enzyme activity on albino rats was investigated. In the present study twenty albino Wister rats were used and divided into two groups. The first group (10 rats) served as the control group; the second group (10 rats) both male and female received flumethrin (1% pour on formulation) at the rate of 5 mg/kg bw orally daily for 14 ...

1. Flumethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid ectoparasiticide. In veterinary medicine it is applied topically to sheep, cattle and goats, as a 1% w/v pour-on (in approximately 75% liquid paraffin, 10% 2octyldodecanol and 0.5% Solvesso 150) or as a plunge dip (6% w/v flumethrin in approximately 73% Solvesso 200, 3% Solvesso 150 and emulsifiers), for the control of ticks, lice and mites. The pour-on i...

The efficacy of a flumethrin 1% pour-on (Bayticol, Bayer AH) was evaluated against natural infestations of ticks on cattle on a dairy farm in Ethiopia during 1997/98. The cattle, (n = 92), which were Friesian/ Zebu crosses, were heavily infested with Boophilus decoloratus. Dry cows (n = 8) were randomly selected and allocated either into a treatment or a control group. Flumethrin 1 % pour-on wa...

Flumethrin has been widely used as an acaricide for the control of Varroa mites in commercial honeybee keeping throughout the world for many years. Here we test the mortality of the Asian honeybee Apis cerana cerana after treatment with flumethrin. We also ask (1) how bees react to the odor of flumethrin, (2) whether its odor induces an innate avoidance response, (3) whether its taste transmits...

Efficacy trials with flumethrin 1% pour-on were conducted in 9 different areas in 3 southern and central African countries against Amblyomma hebraeum and A. variegatum on cattle. A dose volume of 10 ml/100 kg body mass applied at bi-weekly intervals provided excellent control of both tick species on their predilection sites, irrespective of locally and seasonally high tick pressure. The trial r...

The success of an eradication campaign against the tropical bont tick in the Caribbean imposes the use of active acaricide compounds, if possible with residual activity, easy to apply and requiring few or no accessible water supplies and expensive application equipment. Tests of in vitro susceptibility of tick strains from Puerto Rico and Guadeloupe as well as observations of the impact of the ...
