Macrocyclic lactones
• Most internal parasites
– Except flukes and tapeworms
• Most external parasites
– Horn flies (adults for a short period)
• Resistance has become an issue
– Nematodes
– Lice (?)
– Horn flies (?)

Chewing lice: Feeding

• Chewing mouthparts
• Skin, hair and debris
• Some abrasion of upper skin layers
• Systemic immunity (?)

Life cycle: Chewing lice
• Limited survival off-host
– 2-5 days
• Incomplete metamorphosis
• Egg, nymph, adult
• Approx. 14 days from egg to egg
• Reproductive output <1 egg/day

• Hide damage
• Host behavioural changes
– Scratching
– Reduced feeding

This cow is so ugly that she would make
a freight train take a dirt road!

Horn fly
• Affect pastured animals
• Both sexes blood feed
• High host specificity (cattle, but …)
• Rarely leave host
• Larvae develop only in fresh bovine manure (fastidious)

Horn flies: impact
• Reduction in weight gain (>15%)
• Blood loss
• Altered behaviour
– changes in grazing patterns
– reduced efficiency
– “stress”

Overwintering
• Small percentage of L3 do survive during winter on pasture
– Approximately 5%
• Treatment must recognize this situation

Drug resistance in nematodes
• Resistance to current drugs is spreading
• Testing for resistance is difficult
• Fecal egg count reduction test
