“…The delay in hatching time, larval development, pupation and adult emergence detected in the present study in mosquitoes fed on treated calves than the non-treated is similar to that reported by Pooda and his colleagues, in which it was shown that a therapeutic dose of ivermectin delayed the first larviposition of Glossina palpalis gambiensis [30]. According to previous reports, factors like delay in the ovulation process, an increase in the duration of maturation, and/or a disruption of pupation reflect the effect of endectocides on the fertility of flies [42].…”

Background Misuse of long-lasting insecticidal nets together with resistance of vectors to most of the insecticides for indoor residual spraying and impregnated nets threaten malaria vector control interventions, requiring search for alternative control methods. Reports have shown that Anopheles mosquitoes die when they feed on endectocidal drugs used to treat humans and animals. A study was designed to investigate the efficacy of LongRange™ (eprinomectin 5%) on laboratory reared Anopheles arabiensis fed on treated calves. Methods Anopheles arabiensis from insectary colony was fed on three calves treated with therapeutic dose of LongRange™ eprinomectin (1 ml/50 kg) and on non-treated three other calves as control arm. For the feeding, mosquitoes were placed in paper cups covered with nylon cloth mesh and then allowed to feed on the necks of calves. Subsequently, mosquito survival, fecundity, egg hatchability, larval development and adult emergence were recorded. Data were entered and analysed by using SPSS version 20. The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and independent sample t-test were used. Results All mosquitoes that fed on LongRange™ Eprinomectin treated calves died within 7 days following blood ingestion. The drug also slightly affected fecundity and hatchability of An. arabiensis. Conclusion Treating livestock with LongRange™ (eprinomectin 5%) may serve as a supplementary control method for zoophagic An. arabiensis.

“…Generally, the effects of abamectin on A. arboreus were dependent on the dose, increased by increasing concentration and dependent on the tick life stage and its physiological state. This is in agreement with effects of abamectin and other AVMs in studied ticks (Centurier and Barth, 1980;Ash and Oliver, 1989;Montasser et al, 2011;Doan et al, 2013).…”

“…Similarly, some effects have been reported for abamectin and other AVMs in other tick species (Campbell et al, 1983;Ash and Oliver, 1989;Pereira et al, 2009;Doan et al, 2013). This may contribute and explain the successful use of AVMs as acaricides (Drummond, 1985;Van Der Merwe et al, 2005;Davey et al, 2010;Montasser et al, 2011).…”

Entomology Journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline or from directly allied fields in ecology, behavioral biology, Topical application of a single dose (10µl/tick or egg batch) of different concentrations of abamectin (an avermectin) has lethal and biological effects on the engorged mated adult female, immatures and egg of Argas (Persicargas) arboreus that induced 100% mortality at 25,15 and 10 ppm, respectively. Abamectin treatment at lower concentrations of 1-10 ppm interfered with the female reproduction, nymphal and egg development.Abamectin topical (3-10 ppm) application on mated engorged adult female A. (P.) arboreus at different intervals of its reproductive cycle reduced fecundity and fertility of the female, prolonged its preoviposition, oviposition and the egg incubation periods. The effects were most prominent during vitellogenesis and the least at the start of oviposition.Abamectin treatment of the newly moulted fed 2 nd nymphal instar, delayed its moulting and of the resulted 3 rd instar and reduced adult emergence. The treatment caused paralysis and various deformities (15.6-28.6%) as missing legs at the coxal level, changes in colour and failure to moult or to detach the old exuvia in the resulted 3 rd nymphal instar.Egg batch treatment by dipping the freshly deposited eggs for 20 seconds in an aqueous solution of 1-5 ppm abamectin was more effective in reducing normal hatching, increasing unhatching and total inhibition of egg development than topical treatment. However, both methods of treatment similarly prolonged the egg incubation periods and caused abnormal hatching, malformations, and anomalies in the eggs and embryos.

“…The efficacy of AVMS and their analogues against insects and acarine pests of animals and man has been reported by several authors [9][10][11][12] . AVMS caused mortality, paralysis, inhibited feeding, reduced digestion, delayed oviposition, and prevented growth and development in the treated arthropods as in the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti [13] , Anopheles arbiensis [14] , and the argasid tick Argas persicus [15,16] . In Argas (P.) arboreus, abamectin application decreased egg production and hatching, interfered with nymphal molting, and produced malformations and abnormalities during development [17] .…”

Abamectin is one of the avermectins that are known for their efficacy in controlling the mites and ticks. Understanding the biochemical effects of abamectin on ticks is crucial for identifying their possible mode of action and optimizing its application to manage tick populations. This study aimed to investigate the biochemical effects of abamectin on Argas (Persicargas) arboreus eggs during embryogenesis. The topical application of 5 ppm abamectin (LC50) on newly deposited Argas (P.) arboreus eggs quantitively changed the total protein and DNA content, causing fluctuation and decrease of their concentration, respectively, during embryogenesis. Also, such treatment disturbed the normal electrophoretic patterns of the separated protein fractions of the developing embryos on 0, 3, 5, and 8 days post-treatment and post-oviposition (POP). Comparison among the protein fractions patterns (molecular weight, number, percent of the amount, and appearance or disappearance of bands) in each of the untreated controls and abamectin-treated eggs, and between them showed noticeable changes of the patterns during normal embryogenesis, and disturbance from the normal as a result of such treatment. The changes and disturbances of the total protein concentration and fractions were most prominent on 5-8 days post-treatment and POP during the periods of gastrulation and organogenesis. These findings demonstrate the significant impact of abamectin on biochemical components and highlight the disruptions caused by the abamectin treatment during embryonic development in A. (P.
