The efficacy of Ivomec against sarcoptic mange in cattle and goats, psoroptic mange in sheep and Haematopinus eurysternus infestation in cattle was confirmed. The preparation Eqvalan was used for sarcoptic mange among South American tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a zoo. It is stated that both...

Game animals (various deer, mouflon but particularly roe deer) have lately gained great importance in Czechoslovakia and numbers have increased considerably since 1966. The reasons for subsequent losses include such parasitic infections as Capreocaulus capreoli, Dictyocaulus viviparus and various...

In Czechoslovakia, the average prevalence of helminth infections of cattle in the years 1975-79 was relatively low at 1.06% for liver-fluke, 0.64% for lungworms and 4.32% for gastro-intestinal helminths. Their control is discussed.

Fenbendazole (Panacur), given in a single dose of 5.7 or 7.5 mg/kg body-weight, as a suspension or in pellet form was 100% effective against Dictyocaulus viviparus, Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus, Ostertagia, Oesophagostomum and Cooperia spp. in naturally infected cattle in Czechoslovakia.

Experiments in Czechoslovakia on 1,203 sheep and lambs and 38 young cattle confirmed the high efficiencies of Nilzan (suspension and granules) and the Czechoslovakian product Helmisan (suspension) against gastro-intestinal nematodes, lungworms and Fasciola hepatica. Against Paramphistomum spp. only ...

This is a summarized account of previous published work, chiefly by the present authors, on the prophylaxis and anthelmintic treatment of Thelazia infection in cattle.

The 2 anthelmintics produced by SPOFA in Czechoslovakia which have been tested in preliminary and clinical trials on sheep are Taenifugin granulate (containing 0.9% piperazine salt of niclosamide) and Helmisan (containing 1.7% levamisole and 3.4% oxyclozanide). Helmisan was compared with the...

In laboratory tests on Musca autumnalis, the intermediate host of Thelazia responsible for keratoconjunctivitis in cattle, diethyltoluamide gave the best results, initially repelling the flies to 90 cm and after 24 hours to 5 cm. Dimethylphthalate and diethylamide o-benzoic acid initially repelled...
