A novel dip formulation of a synthetic pyrethroid (SP) for the control of Blowfly Myiasis of sheep
Veterinary Parasitology, 1997Co-Authors: Dermot J. O’brien, James P. Morgan, Morgan F. Lane, Patrick F. O'reilly, Stan J. O'neillAbstract:Field trials were carried out during the summer months of 1994 and 1995 to ascertain the prophylactic effects of a 10% w/w formulation of a synthetic pyrethroid (Ecofleece, Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd.) against sheep Blowfly Myiasis (fly strike). The trials were carried out on the same three farms each year. The flocks, of mixed breeds, comprised between 500 and 700 sheep. Treated sheep which consisted of ewes and lambs were plunge dipped, with at least one complete immersion. At least 10% of each flock were left untreated to act as sentinels. Both sentinel and treated sheep mixed freely at pasture. All recorded cases of fly Myiasis were treated by topical applications of the same formulation. Inspections of the flocks were made daily by the farmers and weekly by one of the investigators. Prophylaxis against Blowfly Myiasis was achieved for periods ranging from 3 to 9 weeks. On some occasions, fly larvae developed in faecal dags but failed to establish on the sheep or cause lesions.

Treatment and prophylaxis of psoroptic mange of sheep by a 10% w/w dip formulation of high CIS-cypermethrin
Veterinary Parasitology, 1997Co-Authors: Dermot J. O’brien, James P. Morgan, Morgan F. Lane, Patrick F. O'reilly, Stanley J. O'neillAbstract:A 10% w/w dip formulation of high CIS-cypermethrin (Ecofleece sheep dip) was evaluated as a prophylactic and treatment method against Psoroptes ovis of sheep. A laboratory trial using groups of healthy sheep under challenge showed that, when dipped as directed for 1 min, they were protected against infection for at least 4 weeks. Twelve sheep infected with psoroptic mange at the laboratory were effectively treated by one dipping in Ecofleece. A field outbreak of psoroptic mange in a flock of 237 crossbred ewes was likewise successfully treated by just one dipping. As this formulation is also effective against Blowfly Myiasis it is a useful alternative to organophosphate dual purpose dips.

Clinical and epidemiological findings during ram examination in 47 flocks in southern Greece.
Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2001Co-Authors: George C. Fthenakis, A Karagiannidis, C. Alexopoulos, Christos Brozos, Ph Saratsis, S. C. KyriakisAbstract:Abstract In a field investigation of 47 flocks in south Greece, a clinical examination for fertility evaluation was done on 293 rams. In each ram, a general-health examination, examination of the genital organs and libido evaluation were carried out. In 143 (49%) of the 293 rams examined, at least one abnormality was recorded. The median within-flock prevalence risk (PR) of at least one abnormality was 58.0%, that of general-health abnormalities was 33%, that of genital abnormalities was 20% and that of libido abnormalities 14%. The principal abnormalities observed during the general-health examination were interdigital dermatitis, injuries of the sole, Blowfly Myiasis and brisket sores. The principal abnormalities observed during the examination of the genitalia were testicular hypoplasia, nodules into the testicular parenchyma, ulcerative lesions characteristic of orf in the prepuce and Blowfly Myiasis on the preputial orifice. The principal abnormalities observed during the evaluation of libido were incomplete erection and inability to mount the ewe. A statistically significant ( P P

2001Co-Authors: Fthenakis G. C., Karagiannidis A., Alexopoulos C., Brozos C., Saratsis P., Kyriakis S.Abstract:In a field investigation of 47 Rocks in south Greece, a clinical examination for fertility evaluation was done on 293 rams. In each ram, a general-health examination, examination of the genital organs and libido evaluation were carried out. In 143 (49%) of the 293 rams examined, at least one abnormality was recorded. The median within-flock prevalence risk (PR) of at least one abnormality was 58.0%, that of general-health abnormalities was 33%, that of genital abnormalities was 20% and that of libido abnormalities 14%.

The principal abnormalities observed during the examination of the genitalia were testicular hypoplasia, nodules into the testicular parenchyma, ulcerative lesions characteristic of orf in the prepuce and Blowfly Myiasis on the preputial orifice. The principal abnormalities observed during the evaluation of libido were incomplete erection and inability to mount the ewe. A statistically significant (P < 0.05) positive association was recorded between: ram : ewe ratio and general-health abnormalities PR; general-health abnormalities PR and at least one abnormality PR; genital abnormalities PR and libido abnormalities PR; genital abnormalities PR and at least one abnormality PR; lambing percentage and total lambs born per ewe. A statistically significant (P < 0.05) negative association was recorded between: ram age and general-health abnormalities PR; rain age and any abnormality PR; general-health abnormalities PR and lambing percentage.
