“…Control of the fowl tick was mainly done by using of synthetic-chemical acaricides. In the past, several workers applied through spraying of poultry houses with kerosene, kerosene emulsion, benzene, gasoline, dusting with carbolated lime, panting with lime whitewash or fumigation with sulfur [43]; a thorough spraying of poultry structures with nicotine sulfate [9]; and premises treatment with carbolineums, crude petroleum, creosote oil, proper houses, roost, and nest construction [8].…”

The acaricidal activity of peracetic acid, PAA, against the cattle tick, Boophilus annulatus, and the fowl tick, Argas persicus was tested using filter paper contact bioassay. PAA had a great potential as acaricide and its effectiveness increased with increasing concentration and exposure time. Two minutes after treatment with 0.5%, PAA induced 100% mortality of both tick species and LC50 values for cattle and fowl ticks, after treatment for 30 min, were 0.06 and 0.05%, respectively. Following treatment with 0.25%, the LT50 values were 0.02 and 3.12 min, respectively. Furthermore, the detrimental effect of PAA against cattle tick extended beyond the adult stage, it significantly prolonged the preoviposition period, shortened the oviposition period, and decreased the mean number of the layed eggs, such parameters were 14.75 and 6.57 days, as well as 457.50, respectively, after treatment with 0.25% of PAA. Therefore, PAA is highly effective when used at lower doses and short exposure time. The high speed of killing ticks is very important for avoidance of the hazard ensued by pathogen transmission in the course of delayed mortality caused by the currently used acaricides.A atividade acaricida do ácido peracético, PAA, contra os carrapatos bovinos Boophilus annulatus, de aves, Argas persicus foi testada pelo uso do sistema de filtro de papel.

O tratamento com 0,25%, teve um LT50 de, respectivamente, 0,02 e 3,12 min. Além disso, os danos causados pelo tratamento com 0,25% de PPA atingiram a fase adulta do carrapato, prolongando o tempo de pré-postura (14,75 dias), reduzindo o período de postura (6,57 dias) e número de ovos (457,50). Portanto, o PPA é altamente eficaz, mesmo quando usado em baixas doses e por curso períodos de exposição.

“…Horn flies, Haematobia irritans , are among the most important pests of pastured cattle in the United States . The species was introduced into North America from Europe between 1884 and 1886 . Both sexes feed on cattle, causing annoyance, alteration of grazing behavior, reduction in feed conversion efficiency and reduced milk production and weight gain .…”

BACKGROUND: Horn flies are among the most important biting fly pests of cattle in the United States. Horn fly management is largely dependent upon pesticides, which ultimately leads to the rapid development of insecticide resistance. Alternative control strategies, including repellents, have shown promising results in reducing fly biting. In the present study, we examined the efficacy and longevity of recently identified natural product repellents against horn flies. RESULTS: Catnip oil, geraniol and C8910 acids reduced horn fly feeding in a laboratory bioassay and also exhibited spatial repellency in the olfactometer. Residual activity was observed for up to 3 days in laboratory assays; however, 24 h of residual effectiveness was observed from the two repellents when applied on cattle in the field. The limited residual effectiveness was correlated with the high volatility of the major active repellent compounds.CONCLUSION: All three natural product repellents effectively repel biting horn flies, exhibiting both feeding deterrence and spatial repellency. They may be used for developing an effective push-pull strategy with a slow release matrix that can prolong their effectiveness for horn fly management.

“…All of the other questionable early records of the louse in North America cite native Odocoileus deer as the hosts, and none of them mentions any connection to fallow deer. Moreover, Hopkins (1960), Walker andBecklund (1970), andWestrom et al (1976) all discount the earlier reports of B. tibialis in North America as louse misidentiÞcations tied back to an erroneous, but persistent referral by Osborn (1896). We agree.…”

Through a recent (2003-2007) survey of ectoparasites on hoofed mammals in western North America, a literature review, and examination of archived museum specimens, we found that the exotic deer-chewing louse, Bovicola tibialis (Piaget), is a long-term, widespread resident in the region. The earliest known collection was from Salt Spring Island, Canada, in 1941. We found these lice on the typical host, that is, introduced European fallow deer (Dama dama L.), and on Asian chital (Axis axis [Erxleben] ), native Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus [Richardson] ), and Rocky Mountain mule deer (O. h. hemionus [Rafinesque]) x black-tailed deer hybrids. Chital and the hybrid deer are new host records. All identified hosts were known to be or probably were exposed to fallow deer. Geographic records include southwestern British Columbia, Canada; Marin and Mendocino Counties, California; Deschutes, Lincoln, and Linn Counties, Oregon; Yakima and Kittitas Counties, Washington; Curry County, New Mexico; and circumstantially, at least, Kerr County, Texas. All but the Canadian and Mendocino County records are new. Bovicola tibialis displays a number of noteworthy similarities to another exotic deer-chewing louse already established in the region, that is, Damalinia (Cervicola) sp., which is associated with a severe hair-loss syndrome in black-tailed deer. We discuss longstanding problems with proper identification of B. tibialis, the probability that it occurs even more widely in the United States, and the prospects for it to cause health problems for North American deer. Additional information gathered since our active survey establishes further new distribution and host records for B. tibialis.
