Title: | The application of lambda-cyhalothrin in tick control | Authors: | Jurišić, Aleksandar Petrovic A. Rajkovic D. Nicin S. |
Issue Date: | 22-Mar-2010 | Journal: | Experimental and Applied Acarology | Abstract: | In recent years, in urban areas of Novi Sad, unique ecological conditions, specific floristic and faunistic composition and poor habits of citizens in sense of public health, facilitate the development and maintenance of ticks. Regarding the importance of ticks as vectors of severe human and animal diseases, complex and detailed studies are conducted with an aim to find the most efficient methods for tick control. Two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor marginatus, were identified during a 3-year period on the territory of Municipality of Novi Sad. During 2006, the efficacy of the pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin in tick control varied from 60.7 to 100%. The highest efficacy recorded in 2007 was 92.3%. The efficacy of lambda-cyhalothrin in 2008 varied from 39.1 to 100%. Lambda-cyhalothrin showed high efficacy in tick control at localities which were improved before the application (mowed, litter removed, abundance control and euthanasia of abandoned cats and dogs). The results of this research indicate that lambda-cyhalothrin has a toxic effect on ticks and could be used as efficient acaricide for tick control, although its efficacy depends on formulation, terrain features and methods of application. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/12576 | ISSN: | 01688162 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10493-010-9346-z |
