What is onchocerciasis? Onchocerciasis or river blindness is a human disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus, and it endangers approximately 120 million people each year globally. When the worms become adults, they can live for over a decade in knots ("nodules") under the skin and release millions of of smaller worms or microfilariae. Circulating microfilariae cause many clinical ...
Cattle treated with the veterinary parasiticide ivermectin (IVM) fecally excrete residues. Here we report the exposition and dissipation characteristics of these residues in dung of IVM‐treated cattle, and in soil beneath this dung, on pastures including Canada, France, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. ...
Many veterinary medicinal products, such as ivermectin, are excreted unchanged in the dung of treated livestock. These residues can be insecticidal and may reduce the function (i.e., dung‐degradation) of the coprophilous community. In the present study, we used a standard method to monitor the degradation of dung from cattle treated with ivermectin. The present ...
The specific objectives were to determine if faecal residues of an anthelmintic with known insecticidal activity (ivermectin) showed similar effects across sites on: (1) insects breeding in dung of treated animals, (2) coprophilous organisms in the soil beneath the dung, and (3) rates of dung degradation. ...
We compared the abundance of earthworms and springtails in soil beneath dung from untreated cattle and from cattle treated 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 d previously with ivermectin. Study sites were located in different ecoregions in Switzerland (Continental), The Netherlands (Atlantic), France (Mediterranean), and Canada (Northern Mixed Grassland). Samples were collected using standard ...
Dung was collected from cattle before and up to two months after treatment with a topical application of a test compound (ivermectin). Pats formed of dung of the different treatments were placed concurrently in the field to be colonized by insects. ...
The popular anthelmintic drug ivermectin (IVM) can be applied to livestock in several different ways and is faecally excreted over a period of days to months after application. ...
The authors initiated a field experiment whereby a series of replicated plots received annual applications of ivermectin, monensin and zinc bacitracin, either singly or in a mixture. ...
Avermectins are widely used to treat livestock for parasite infections. Ivermectin, which belongs to the group of avermectins, is particularly hazardous to the environment, especially to crustaceans and to soil-dwelling organisms. ...
In order to ensure the hygienic suitability of foodstuffs of animal origin, and from the aspect of human health protection and improvement, we studied the contamination of raw milk with microbial inhibitors, chloramphenicol, sulphonamides and ivermectin in one part of Slovenia ? the central Stajerska region. Our own sampling in 2002 included industrial areas along with areas of ...
