Abstract
There was a corresponding decrease in the proportion of seropositive animals from 6.3% in spring 2001 to 2.1% in spring 2003. These results corroborate the concept that it may be possible to target chemo-metaphylaxis and hence decrease the use of endectocides as well as of ectocides to control sheep scab. This would be of great benefit in reducing the likelihood of development of anthelmintic resistance against avermectins, decreasing the extent of environmental and human contamination with potentially toxic products and diminishing potential drug residues in meat and milk.
