Notes: Fluazuron is an acaricide widely-used to control tick populations in cattle, sheep, and pigs.{40004, 40005} Fluazuron inhibits chitin formation limiting viable egg production and prevents immature ticks from moulting.{40004} It is effective against populations of R. microplus, R. sanguineus, S. scabei, and Y. pestis at host doses ranging from 1.5 to 100 mg/kg.{40004,40006,40007,40008,40009} Fluazuron does not effect populations of F. candida or O. gazella, alleviating concerns about non-specific insecticide activity.{40005,40010} Resistance to fluazuron in certain R. microplus strains may be emerging.{40011}
