Prevention of blowfly strike on coarse and fine woolled sheep with the insect growth regulator dicyclanil.
To assess a ready-to-use formulation of dicyclanil to prevent blowfly strike on coarse and fine woolled sheep under New Zealand conditions.. Randomized clinical field trials.. In a first field trial, coarse wooled sheep treated with a ready-to-use, 5% dicyclanil formulation were compared with untreated control sheep for up to 21 weeks. In a second field trial, fine woolled sheep, treated with the same dicyclanil formulation, were compared with untreated sheep for up to 19 weeks. Efficacy was assessed by calculating the aggregated cumulative strike rate.. For trial 1 (coarse woolled sheep) the aggregated cumulative strike rate at the end of the trial at week 21 after treatment reached 3.9% and 19.1% for treated and untreated sheep, respectively. For the treated animals the aggregated cumulative strike rate reached the 1% and 2% benchmarks between weeks 11 and 12. For trial 2 (fine woolled sheep) the aggregated cumulative strike rate at the end of the trial at week 19 reached 0.6% and 7.5% for treated and untreated sheep, respectively. Wool length at the time of application did not substantially influence the efficacy of dicyclanil.. Under New Zealand field conditions, a ready-to-use 5% spray-on formulation of dicyclanil protected coarse woolled sheep for at least 12 weeks and fine woolled sheep for at least 19 weeks.

Long-lasting prevention against blowfly strike using the insect growth regulator dicyclanil.
To assess a ready-to-use formulation of dicyclanil to prevent blowfly strike on Merino sheep under Australian conditions.. Randomised clinical trials conducted in an environment house and in the field.. Two environment house trials were used to measure the protection against flystrike provide by a jetting or a ready-to-use 5% spray-on formulation of dicyclanil over 22 and 31 weeks respectively. Oviposition and strikes were recorded weekly for each sheep. In two field trials the occurrence of strike in Merino sheep treated off-shears or in long wool with dicyclanil or with cyromazine was compared for up to 38 weeks after treatment. Efficacy was assessed by calculating the cumulative percentage of sheep struck.. Under environment house conditions, sheep jetted with dicyclanil at 1.50, 0.75 and 0.30 g per sheep developed 0, 8 and 9 strikes respectively during the 22 weeks of the trial, whereas there were 358 strikes present in the placebo group. Sheep sprayed with dicyclanil at 2.25, 1.50 and 0.75 g per sheep developed 5, 11 and 29 strikes respectively between weeks 15 and 31 after treatment, whereas there were 185 strikes present in the untreated controls. In field trials the cumulative percentage of sheep struck reached 1% between weeks 12 to 13 after sheep had been treated with cyromazine. Sheep treated with dicyclanil reached the 1% limit at week 21 after treatment.. Under Australian field conditions, a ready-to-use 5% spray-on formulation of dicyclanil applied off-shears or to long wool protected Merino sheep from blowfly strike for a period of at least 20 weeks.

Effective control of a suspected cyromazine-resistant strain of Lucilia cuprina using commercial spray-on formulations of cyromazine or dicyclanil.
To demonstrate the protection of Merino sheep from flystrike by Lucilia cuprina with cyromazine or dicyclanil in an implant study and in the field.. In the implant study, sheep were treated with cyromazine or dicyclanil and implanted with 1st-stage larvae from a newly isolated field strain of L. cuprina (CYR-LS) or a reference strain (DZR50), then assessed over 3 days and compared with the implants on untreated control sheep. In the field study, weaner lambs were treated with cyromazine or dicyclanil and monitored weekly for flystrike over 18 weeks of grazing on the same farm from which the L. cuprina were isolated.. Implant study: cyromazine (6%) provided effective protection against CYR-LS and DZR50 L. cuprina for a minimum of 13 and 10 weeks, respectively. Dicyclanil (5%) provided at least 18 weeks' protection against both strains. Field study: only 1 of 386 lambs in the cyromazine-treated group was struck in the first 14 weeks of the trial. No strikes occurred in the 198 sheep treated with dicyclanil (5%). Rainfall, temperature and flytrap data indicated consistent fly pressure during the study.. Based on the results of these studies, there was no evidence of reduced susceptibility to cyromazine or dicyclanil and the periods of protection of sheep against L. cuprina were unaffected and consistent with the registered label claims.
