Mc. Reynaud et al., DERMANYSSUS-GALLINAE (DE-GEER, 1778) - EX PERIMENTAL LIFE-CYCLE AND TEST OF THE ACARICIDAL ACTION OF MOXIDECTIN AND IVERMECTIN, Revue de Medecine Veterinaire, 148(5), 1997, pp. 433-438
The life cycle of Dermanyssus gallinae has been reproduced under labor
atory conditions. The different stages have been measured and photogra
phed. The effectiveness of ivermectin and moxidectin has been tested :
ivermectin was 5.75 times more effective than moxidectin in vitro. In
vivo, the moxidectin concentrations effective against D. gallinae wer
e toxic for the treated chickens.
