  • Title: The control of parasites in antelope in small gama reserves.
    Author: Horak IG.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1980 Mar; 51(1):17-19. PubMed ID: 7452652.
    Abstract:
    The most important parasites of antelope in small game reserves are ixodid ticks, the larvae of oestrid flies and nematodes. Methods of control based on the seasonal prevalence of these parasites are suggested. Adult ticks can be controlled during summer by the introduction of cattle which are dipped or sprayed with an acaricide at 5-day intervals. The larvae of oestrid flies can be controlled by the capture during winter of all alcelaphine antelope and their oral treatment with a larvicide, while the addition of an anthelmintic to feed supplement blocks during winter can be used to control nematodes.
