Calves in one group received doramectin (200 mcg/kg) by subcutaneous injection near the base of the ear while those in the second group were given 0.9% sterile saline by the same route. Louse counts at 7 sites replicated on each side of the animals were carried out at the beginning of the trial and then at 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42 days post-treatment. By 7 days post-treatment the Linognathus vituli infestations were absent from all treated calves and all but 1 control animal. Up to Day 21, all treated animals remained louse-free. The doramectin-treated animals showed significant (P &lt; 0.05) reductions in Bovicola (Damalinia) bovis infestations from 7 to 42 days post- treatment. Efficacies of 81.9, 98.6, 94.2, 99.3, and 95.4% were obtained for Days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42 respectively, when comparisons were made with non-treated animals for the same days.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38646</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal</style></notes></record></records></xml>
