| description | Blowfly strike is a common illness of sheep flocks worldwide. In Northern
hemisphere is due to Lucilia sericata, and in Southern hemisphere L. cuprina is
involved. This paper presents some aspects concerning current and future strategies
to control flystrikes. Current control strategies refer to general management
practices, selection of naturally resistant sheep, insecticide use and the use of baits
and traps, respectively. The future strategies comprise vaccination strategies against
blowfly larvae and fleece rot, sterile male release, use of Bacillus thuringiensis
toxins, use of new insecticides, and biological control, respectively. |
