Efficacy of topically administered ivermectin against chorioptic and sarcoptic mange of cattle

D Barth and JM Preston

Merck Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories, Lauterbach, West Germany.

The efficacy of topically administered ivermectin against Chorioptes bovis and Sarcoptes scabiei var bovis on cattle was evaluated in five studies involving a total of 68 cattle. Treatment with ivermectin solution at a dose rate of 500 micrograms/kg bodyweight topically once was fully effective against C bovis and S scabiei when applied to healthy skin. Efficacy against S scabiei was impaired when the formulation was applied over areas of severe lesions caused by this parasite, presumably due to reduced absorption of ivermectin.
