“…Moreover, the restlessness and stress associated with pediculosis can result in decreased appetite, decreased weight gain [ 3 , 4 ] and decreased milk yields [ 3 , 5 ] and should be considered an animal welfare issue. Heavy infestations with sucking lice can cause anemia [ 6 , 7 ] which in some cases may be fatal [ 8 , 9 ]. Figure 1 shows the coat damage of an animal sampled in our study who was heavily infested with Bovicola bovis lice.…”

Background Pediculosis in cattle causes significant itching, irritation and stress to the animal, often resulting in skin damage and poor coat condition. The control of bovine pediculosis in Ireland is based predominantly on commercial insecticides belonging to one of two chemical classes, the synthetic pyrethroids and the macrocyclic lactones. In recent years, pyrethroid tolerance has been reported in a number of species of livestock lice in the United Kingdom and Australia. Results In this pilot survey, lice were detected in 16 (94%) out of 17 herds visited. Two species of lice, Bovicola bovis and Linognathus vituli were identified. In vitro contact bioassays showed evidence of deltamethrin tolerance in Bovicola bovis collected from 4 farms. This was confirmed by repeatedly assessing louse infestations on treated animals on one farm. Conclusions To our knowledge this is the first record of insecticide tolerant populations of lice in Irish cattle. The results also provide new data on the species of lice infesting beef cattle in Ireland and the prevalence and control of louse infestations in Irish beef cattle herds.

The current study was performed to assess the most common clinical symptoms and hemato-biochemical alterations in goats naturally infested with sucking and biting lice. A total of 4599 goats were included in the clinical investigation. The changes in concentrations of some hematological and biochemical parameters were evaluated using 20 naturally infested animals divided into 2 equal groups – group 1 (infested with Bovicola caprae) and group 2 (infested with Linognathus stenopsis). Blood samples were collected before the treatment with Eprinomectin and on the 30th and 60th-day post-treatment (DPT). After sampling, the blood was examined for changes in the complete blood cell count including RBC, HGB, HCT, RBC indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW), WBC, leukocyte differential count as well as some biochemical parameters (Ca, P, Fe, total protein, albumin, bilirubin, ASAT, ALAT, AP). Clinical demonstrations in infested goats were not specific, represented with rubbing, scratching, broken hairs, alopecia, skin secretion, inflamed lesions (papules), crusts, and keratinization. The changes found in the hematological and biochemical parameters were normocytic hypochromic anemia (p˂0.001) and hypoferremia (p˂0.01) in the goats infested with sucking lice (L. stenopsis) and leukocytosis (p˂0.001), hyperproteinemia (p˂0.001) and hyperalbumineamia (p˂0.05) in the animals infested with biting lice (B. caprae). All changed parameters have returned to the reference ranges on the 30th and 60th DPT.
