Abstract

Ectoparasites such as ticks, mites and haematophagous flies together with certain endoparasites may be managed by use of avermectins (macrocyclic lactones) or hormone analogues and by immunization of the hosts with antigens derived from the vectors or parasites themselves. Recently this combined approach has been used most effectively against helminth infestations as well as against ticks and flies. Use of components of host odors and pheromones to trap, sterilize or kill tsetse flies is described as well as inexpensive methods of crop and livestock protection, such as oils and plant extracts, used traditionally in less developed countries.
