  • Title: The anti-bacterial activity of acaricides in relation to streptothricosis.
    Author: Heron ID, Morrow AN.
    Journal: Zentralbl Veterinarmed B; 1989 Feb; 36(1):69-75. PubMed ID: 2751760.
    Abstract:
    The anti-bacterial activity of 13 commercially available acaricides, in use in the Caribbean, was tested against Dermatophilus congolensis, an actinomycete involved in streptothricosis of cattle, sheep and goats in the tropics. Acaricides used included organochloride, organophosphorus, carbamate, pyrethroid and amidine compounds. Each acaricide was tested at a typical working dilution used by the farmers, at 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C, in the presence or absence of 15 percent newborn calf serum as a fouling agent. Fouling of acaricides was found to have a marked inhibitory effect on its anti-bacterial activity. Vapona and Cattle Washing Detergent were found to be more active against Dermatophilus congolensis than the other acaricides tested.
