The use of repeated treatment with Ivomec and Neguvon spray in the control of murine fur mites and oxyurid worms

Abstract

In a previous study, a single external treatment with Ivomec appeared to be more effective than Neguvon treatment. In this study the antiendoparasitic qualities of external application of Ivomec were investigated, together with the effectiveness of a combined Neguvon and Ivomec treatment. After 3 treatments, all mice were mite- and worm-free: they remained free of ectoparasites until 18 weeks after the last treatment; eggs of endoparasites reappeared 9 weeks after the last treatment.
