OBJECTIVE: To determine effectiveness of a pour-on formulation of doramectin against Damalinia bovis, Haematopinus eurysternus, Linognathus vituli, Solenopotes capillatus, Chorioptes bovis, Sarcoptes scabiei, Hypoderma bovis, and Hypoderma lineatum. ANIMALS: Cattle of various ages with naturally acquired or artificial infestations with 1 or more species of lice, mites, or grubs. PROCEDURE: In 10 louse and 6 mite studies, cattle were treated with doramectin (500 microg/kg, topically) on day 0, and parasite counts were performed approximately weekly from days 0 to 35. In 6 grub studies, cattle expected to harbor Hypoderma spp were treated before emergence of warbles. After warbles began to emerge, they were counted every 2 weeks, and grubs were collected and identified by species. RESULTS: Burdens of D bovis, H eurystemus, L vituli, and S capillatus on doramectin-treated cattle were 0 by 28 days after treatment. Burdens of C bovis and S scabiei decreased to 0 in naturally infested cattle and approximately 0 in artificially infested cattle by day 14 to 15. In grub studies, 107 of 136 control cattle had warbles, whereas 2 of 136 doramectin-treated cattle had 1 warble each, which represented a cure rate of 98.5%. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: One topical application of doramectin was highly efficacious against common species of lice, mites, and grubs known to affect performance, health, and appearance of cattle. 相似文献

Scanning electron microscopic observations were performed to compare the structures of third-instar of three species of warbles (Hypoderma bovis, H. lineatum and H. sinense) that infest yak in China. The heads of the warbles consisted of mouths and opercular sutures with spinal bands between them. We could not detect any morphological differences in the shape of the warble's heads among these three species. The spiracular plate of H. bovis was strongly concaved and had numerous spines at the spiracular opening rims. The H. lineatum had flat spiracular plates and no spines on the spiracular plates. In the case of H. sinense the spiracular plate was as flat as that of H. lineatum but had small sized and fewer spines on the spiracular plates. At the ventral side on the tenth segment of the warble body of H. bovis the spinal band was absent. Although H. lineatum had only one band at the posterior border on the tenth ventral segment, H. sinense had two bands of spines at the anterior and posterior border on the tenth segment. 相似文献

Cross-reactivity between Hypoderma lineatum antigen and anti-Przhevalskiana silenus antibodies has been demonstrated by an ELISA technique. To evaluate the applicability of a commercial ELISA kit for the immunodiagnosis of goat warble fly infestation, different dilutions of serum and conjugate were tested, the development of antibody to P silenus in naturally infested goats was studied, and the results were compared with an ELISA technique using an antigen extracted from the first instar larvae of H lineatum. The best results were obtained with a serum dilution of 1:50; with both techniques the highest antibody concentration were recorded in October, November and December. In view of the confirmed cross-reactivity between H lineatum antigen and anti-P silenus antibodies, and the simplicity and rapidity of the assay, the commercial ELISA kit can be considered as a useful tool for the diagnosis of goat warble fly infestation. 相似文献

Bovine hypodermosis is a myiasis caused by Hypoderma bovis and Hypoderma lineatum (Diptera, Oestridae) larvae, which has a severe economic impact on the livestock industry. Though myiasis is widespread throughout Italy, no nationwide eradication program has ever been planned, unlike in other European Countries. With a view to setting up a national control program, a pilot study was carried out in Southern Italy on 9939 cattle bred in an area with a high prevalence of cattle hypodermosis, using moxidectin 0.5% pour-on (Cydectin, Fort Dodge) and 1% injectable (Cydectin, Fort Dodge) formulations. At the recommended dosage, moxidectin displayed efficacy levels of 99.9% in the pour-on and 100% in the injectable formulation, whereas the microdose (1 mg per head regardless of body weight) was less effective (65.7%). This trial contributed to a significant reduction in infestation rates in the study area and represented the first step through which a national program for eradicating warble fly infestation in Italy. 相似文献

A total of 1276 cattle from 76 farms in 8 villages were examined by palpation of the skin for evidence of hypodermosis. The
effects of age, sex, breed, and colour of cattle on hypodermosis were investigated. The overall prevalence was 31.9%. The
mean number of warble fly larvae on infested animals was 8.46. Hypodermosis infestations were encountered in all the villages
visited. Within a herd, the intensity of infestion decreased with the age of cattle. Infestation rates of warble fly larvae
were lower in native cattle, in females, and in piebald animals. 相似文献

The field measures for the control and eradication of the warble fly in Northern Ireland are described. The level of infestation and the main economic losses before the introduction of these measures are indicated. The limitations of the control measures used before the introduction of systematic insecticides are discussed.A limited field trial with a systematic insecticide was conducted in 1964, but the main national programme for warble control was implemented in 1966 and 1967. Under the programme, the treatment of all cattle was compulsory.The nature and organization of the programme and its staffing and cost are described. The field monitoring, the extent and nature of adverse reactions in some of the treated animals, the effects on the rate of warble infestation, and the current status of “warbles” as a Notifiable Disease are discussed. Also described is the practicality of the eradication of cattle grubs from the Island of Ireland as a whole through synchronization of the warble control programmes in Northern Irelabnd and Eire. 相似文献

The most variable region of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene of Hypoderma bovis(1) and Hypoderma lineatum(2) (Diptera, Oestridae) was amplified by PCR and the amplicons were sequenced and analysed. PCR products were digested with three restriction enzymes, namely BfaI, HinfI and TaqI, providing informative profiles. H. bovis and H. lineatum sequences revealed an inter-specific variation rate of 8.5%, and an intra-specific variation rate of 0.87 and 0.29%, respectively. The results showed that the COI gene region examined was useful for the differentiation of H. bovis and H. lineatum and that a PCR-RFLP assay is a practical tool for their identification, offering additional diagnostic and epidemiological instruments for the study of cattle grub infestation. 相似文献

An intradermal test was developed to screen cattle for infection with the first-instar larvae of the warble flies Hypoderma lineatum and H. bovis. The diagnostic antigen, prepared from the first-instar larvae of H. lineatum, produced a distinct dermal reaction in cattle infected with the first-instar larvae of either species, but not in cattle in which the infection could not be confirmed later either on necropsy or by the appearance of warbles in the back. The reaction to the antigen was unpredictable in cattle with warbles in their backs. The diagnostic property of the antigen was also demonstrated in rabbits and guinea pigs artificially sensitized to the antigen. 相似文献

In controlled experiments utilizing artificial infestations, a topical formulation of ivermectin (IVOMEC Pour-On for Cattle) was 100% effective against migrating first instar Hypoderma lineatum for 3 weeks following treatment. Larvae were apparently killed early in the infestation as no significant level of specific antibodies was found in the treated calves. At 4 weeks post-treatment the efficacy remained high at 96%; mortality of larvae in the one calf in which warbles were observed and from which mature third instars were collected, was higher than that seen in the untreated calves, indicating some level of treatment induced effect. No specific antibodies were detected in calves that did not develop palpable warbles. Antibody kinetics in those calves from which viable larvae emerged were typical. The length of activity of this product against early stages of the cattle grub makes it practical to apply treatment up to 3 weeks before the end of fly activity. 相似文献

The potential for cross-transmission of Hypoderma lineatum from cattle to domestic goats (Capra hircus) was examined using artificial infestation techniques. Two routes of infestation, subcutaneous injection and dermal penetration, were used to expose goats to newly hatched first instars. Presence of antibodies and appearance of circulating antigen (hypodermin C) were evaluated at selected intervals for up to 40 weeks post-infestation. In addition, immunoblots against H. lineatum first-instar proteins were conducted using sera taken at 10 weeks post-infestation. Goats were palpated for the presence of developing larvae at sub-dermal sites beginning at week 30 pi. No developing larvae were palpated at any time, regardless of the route of infestation nor was circulating antigen detected in any infested goats. Antibodies were present at weeks 6 and 10 and week 27 pi in both infested groups. Immunoblots indicated all infested goats produced antibodies to first instar H. lineatum antigens. H. lineatum appears to be incapable of completing development in domestic goats although the transient appearance of ELISA detectable antibodies and the presence of bands on immunoblots suggests that at least some larvae survive long-enough to engender a humoural response. The host specificity of H. lineatum is discussed in light of the general concepts of host-parasite relationships of oestrids. 相似文献

Evaluation of an antigen capture ELISA for the early diagnosis of Hypoderma lineatum in cattle under field conditions 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

An antigen capture or sandwich ELISA (sELISA) was evaluated for the diagnosis of Hypoderma lineatum in cattle under field conditions in northwestern Spain. The kinetics of circulating hypodermin C (HyC) and specific antibodies during the course of natural infestation were determined in a group of 10 Frisian calves. In addition, oesophagi and blood samples were taken from 105 cows at a slaughterhouse in order to compare three methods for the diagnosis of H. lineatum: sandwich ELISA for the detection of the antigen HyC (sELISA), indirect ELISA for the detection of antibodies anti-HyC (iELISA) and the detection of first instars (L1) in the oesophagus. In naturally infested cattle, HyC was present in circulation at low levels during the early and late phases of the infestation. However, in the middle phase, coinciding with the presence of L1 in the oesophagus, two peaks of increased HyC concentration were observed. Specific antibodies increased progressively until the first appearance of larvae in warbles on the back. There was no correlation between antigen or antibody levels and the number of grubs in the back. Prevalence of first instars in the oesophagi of slaughtered cows was 21.9% (23/105). The percentage of cattle that were positive for circulating antigen was slightly higher (24.8%), suggesting the recent destruction of migrating larvae in some animals. However, there was no correlation between the number of L1 and HyC levels. With the iELISA, 79% of the animals were positive to Hypoderma, which means that a high percentage of those animals have been exposed to the parasite but they had no apparent current infestation. The sELISA is a good tool to follow larval development within the host; however, the episodic elevation of HyC levels limits the usefulness of this test for the early diagnosis of Hypoderma under field conditions. 相似文献

Cattle infested with the common cattle grub, Hypoderma lineatum (Villers) develop specific humoral antibodies and a cellular immune reaction, defined by delayed-type hypersensitivity, to purified H. lineatum proteins. This investigation was designed to study the antigen-specific bovine lymphocyte response to hypodermin A (HyA), a serine protease of larval first-instar H. lineatum. Calves were vaccinated with either native or denatured HyA, and challenge-infested with H. lineatum. The kinetic development of a cellular immune response to HyA was monitored during vaccination and infestation. The HyA-specific responses were highly variable and weak during vaccination and infestation. Although HyA-specific lymphocyte blastogenic responses were observed, no correlation was noted between the magnitude of antigen-specific, peripheral lymphocyte proliferation and larval mortality. In striking contrast to responses observed during infestation, intense HyA-specific lymphocyte responses were observed with 3 calves 6 months after recovery from infestation. In addition, those responses were further heightened by a 250 micrograms booster injection of pure HyA. 相似文献

The collagenase (hypodermin C) from soluble crude extracts of Hypoderma lineatum 1st-instar larvae was purified by reverse-phase HPLC and used in a new indirect ELISA test. This pure protein had several advantages over the use of crude larval extracts allowing a much better discrimination between infested and non-infested cattle. The anti-hypodermin C titers of 19 Asturiana cattle were estimated over the course of a natural H. lineatum infestation cycle, in which the effect of ivermectin treatment was also investigated. The results showed differences in the onset and ending of the infestation with respect to those described for other European countries. The ivermectin treatment proved to be very effective and treated animals had relatively low anticollagenase titers. 相似文献

Cattle exposed to their third consecutive warble (Hypoderma lineatum and H. bovis) infestation had significantly reduced apparent and accumulative grub populations and produced significantly fewer grubs than animals exposed to their first infestation. These resistant animals had enhanced reactivity to mitogens (concanavalin A (con A) and pokeweed) upon reinfestation and a strong antigen-specific response at 2 months post-infestation. Their responsiveness to con A and antigen was also enhanced at 7 months post-infestation when grubs appeared in the backs, and the response to antigen continued at 10 months post-infestation. Responsiveness to mitogens in previously uninfested animals was similar to the control response throughout the infestation apart from the suppression of the con A response at 7 months post-infestation. These animals finally responded to antigen at 10 months post-infestation. These results suggest that acquired resistance to hypodermosis has a cellular basis with participation of both B- and T-cell components. 相似文献

For decades, about 30% of the young cattle in the Steinfurt district of the North German Basin were infested with Hypoderma bovis. Compulsory treatment with rotenone between 1934 and 1963 failed to control infestation. When systemic organophosphorous insecticides became available a 3-year scheme was instituted in which all the 6–24-month-old cattle were treated annually, between 15 November and 15 December, with trichlorfon spot-on.At first, the treatment was not compulsory and warble infestation was occasionally found in cattle purchased outside the district. Later, the treatment was made compulsory and since 1966 warble infestation has not been detected in the district. 相似文献

Since derris preparations applied in compliance with a government directive of 1933 failed to control warble flies, a new law to enforce treatment with systemic insecticides was passed in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1967. Under this law, the owners must treat their cattle with systemics before the grazing season starts if hypodermal grubs are found on even a single animal in the herd. The law authorizes state governments to decree that all cattle in a state or in certain regions be treated at a certain time. All states with pasture areas have exercised this right.The grazing season runs from May to October and the cattle are stabled thereafter. The treatment period is mandated after the grazing season, at the beginning of December. If warbles are observed before the cattle are turned out to pasture, a second treatment of all the cattle on the farm is mandatory. Through this procedure, warble infestation has been greatly reduced. In some areas, the infestation has been eradicated completely and is not seen either on live animals or on the hides of slaughtered cattle. The level of infestation at which it is safe to abandon autumn treatment without risking a resurgence of the infestation has not been determined. 相似文献

Sixty yaks were autopsied to determine the migration pattern of warble fly larvae. In August, first instars were observed in the body of yak for the first time. These larvae peaked in number in October. From November to February, second instars were detected and their number peaked in January. Third instars appeared in January and peaked in March. Forty-five yaks were administered with ivermectin: 15 animals in September, 15 in October and 15 in November. Between December and June, the number of warbles was checked by palpation. Although some warbles were observed in the September- and November-treated groups, no warbles were detected in the October-treated group. Treatment of yaks with ivermectin was most effective for warble fly in October. 相似文献

A large-scale serological surveillance was conducted for hypodermosis in the north of China. A total of 4175 sera samples of yaks and cattle were collected from five provinces in north China that included Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiling and Gansu provinces, between 2001 and 2002, and were examined for anti-hypoderma antibody by ELISA. The results indicate that the naturally infested positive rates of Hypoderma spp. in the above provinces were 51.77%, 27.02%, 13.00%, 6.03% and 44.41%, respectively. These results suggest a significant warble fly population in the north of China. Positive sera were collected from infested cattle in Pingliang county of the Gansu province monthly between August 2001 and July 2002. These sera were used to evaluate the seasonal kinetics of anti-hypoderma antibody. The kinetics demonstrated that anti-hypoderma antibody was elevated from October to December. Thus, serological surveillances associated with low infestation rates and chemical therapy would best be performed from October to December in the region. 相似文献

The previous scanning electron microscopy study of the Hypoderma species suggested that Hypoderma sinense Pleske (H. sinense) was different from Hypoderma bovis (H. bovis) and Hypoderma lineatum (H. lineatum). In this study, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequence of H. sinense was compared with those of the other two species. The H. sinense sequence showed only 88.3% homology to H. bovis and 88.5% to H. lineatum. The results of the sequencing analysis confirm that H. sinense is a different species from H. bovis and H. lineatum. 相似文献

Protein species found in soluble crude extracts of Hypoderma lineatum (common cattle grub) 1st-instar larvae (HL1) were separated by non-denaturing and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and analyzed for antigenicity by Western blotting using serum from H. lineatum-infested and vaccinated cattle. All HL1 proteins resolved by non-denaturing PAGE were found to be antigenic in the infested bovine host. Treatment of the proteins with sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol destroyed the ability of hypodermin B and the Peak 2 proteins from DEAE-ion exchange HPLC to be bound by antibody. The principal proteins, hypodermin A and hypodermin C (collagenase), appear to be the most immunogenic of the larval proteins. Although having similar amino acid composition, hypodermin A did not appear to share an antigenic epitope with the most prevalent protein, hypodermin C. These results may allow for the selection of proteins to be used in vaccine trials and studies of protective immunological mechanisms associated with acquired resistance to H. lineatum infestation in the bovine host. 相似文献
