Disease relevance of Anoplura

• Systemic activity of nifluridide against sucking lice and the common scabies mite on cattle [1].
• Resistance to insecticides and effect of synergists on permethrin toxicity in Pediculus capitis (Anoplura: Pediculidae) from Buenos Aires [2].

High impact information on Anoplura

• Percent reduction was never greater than 90% with any chlorfenapyr application against Linognathus vituli (L.). However, percent reduction was greater than 90% with CyLence from day 21 through 35 [3].
• Both sexes of a new species of sucking louse Hoplopleura janzeni (Phthiraptera: Hoplopleuridae) are described and illustrated from the Central American ichthyomyine swimming mouse Rheomys raptor (Rodentia: Muridae) collected in Costa Rica [4].
• Imidacloprid was highly effective against both sucking (Linognathus setosus) and biting (Trichodectes canis) lice over the 6-week period of the trial [5].
• When ADG and FE were grouped by severity of Haematopinus suis infestation, pigs with more H. suis had higher ADG and better FE than pigs with fewer or no lice [6].
• A few long-nosed lice, Linognathus vituli survived treatment with louse powder containing gamma HCH (BHC), amitraz spray and Prolate pour-on (20% phosmet) [7].

Associations of Anoplura with chemical compounds

• In the last two experiments nifluridide eliminated sucking lice populations at all dosage levels [1].
• Lice (Haematopinus suis) were numerous on the suckling and weaned swine and appeared to be resistant to lindane [8].
• Cypermethrin, when incorporated into a plastic eartag at 8.5% w/w gave a measure of louse control on cattle but was not completely effective against L. vituli and Solenopotes capillatus [7].
• Toxic effect of aliphatic alcohols against susceptible and permethrin-resistant Pediculus humanus capitis (Anoplura: Pediculidae) [9].
• Observations on the control of ovine face lice (Linognathus ovillus) with closantel [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Anoplura

• Psoroptes ovis [Hering] mites and sucking lice (Linognathus vituli Linnaeus) were eliminated from light to heavily infested calves with a single subcutaneous injection of nifluridide in five separate experiments [1].
