Sheep blowfly

Other substituted phenyl A/-methylcarbamates that have been used for insect control include metalkamate [8065-36-9] a 1 4 mixture of y -(l-ethylpropyl)-phenyl A[-methylcarbamate [672-04-8] and y -(l-methylbutyl)-phenyl A/-methylcarbamate [2282-34-0], rat oral LD qS 87, 170 mg/kg, used as a soil insecticide MTMC [1129-41 -5], 3-methylphenyl N-methylcarbamate (mp 76°C), rat oral LD q 268 mg/kg, used for rice pests MPMC [2425-10-7], 3,5-dimethylphenyl A/-methylcarbamate (mp 79°C), rat oral LD q 380 mg/kg, used for rice pests TBPMC [780-11-0], 3-/ l -butylphenyl A/-methylcarbamate (mp 140°C), mouse oral LD q 470 mg/kg, for rice pests and butacarb [2655-19-8], 3,5-di-/ l -butylphenyl A/-methylcarbamate (mp 98°C), rat oral LD q >4000 mg/kg, for sheep blowfly larvae control. 

The control of lice, mites and warbleflies continues to be achieved by the older agents. The selection pressure that caused resistance in cattle ticks and sheep blowfly has not been encountered by these other ectoparasites since their less frequent incidence has required less insecticide/acaricide usage. In addition to the OPs, rotenone (92) (the active principle of derris), an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, continues to be used to combat mange.

The azido derivative 683 (CGA 19255) had herbicidal and even better insecticidal activity. 683 prevented the development of the larvae of the house fly (Musca domestica) it was tested successfully as a poultry feed-through lar-vicide " . 684 (CGA 72622 cyromazine, Larvadex ), a metabolite of 683 23,824 proved to be better suitable as a larvicide " . It inhibited growth of a great variety of Diptera insect larvae (e.g. house fly, yellow fever mosquito, face fly, sheep blowfly, fall army worm). Additionally, 684 was used as anthelmintic . 684 is applied as a food additive for domestic or livestock animals or by spraying it on manure surface. Larvicidal properties of formamido " and formamidino derivatives of 684 have been tested. The bacterial degradation of 684 was investigated . ...

Myiasis is the invasion of tissues or open body cavities by fly, dipteran, larvae. Myiasis can be caused by fly larvae of many different species. Vaccine based control of myiasis is very appealing. Fly larvae can reside in direct contact with elements of the host immune system for months. Not unexpectedly, natural infections do not generally induce inflammatory responses 190) or host iimnunity to re-infestation 191). The most extensively studied causes of myiasis are the warble flies, Hypoderma bovis and Hypoderma lineatum, and the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina 24).
