Resumo
Avaliou-se, neste experimento, a eficácia in vitro e in vivo do diflubenzuron a 25% para uso em bovinos, no controle da infestação por Haematobia irritans. Para o teste in vitro, ovos de moscas-dos-chifres foram mantidos em recipientes contendo fezes de animais não-tratados ou tratados com diflubenzuron a 25%, e acompanhados até emergência dos adultos. No teste in vivo, foram utilizadas 40 fêmeas aneloradas, divididas em dois grupos: controle (C) e tratado (T) com intensidade parasitária equivalente. Durante o experimento, o grupo C recebeu apenas suplementação mineral, enquanto o grupo T recebeu suplementação mineral e diflubenzuron a 25%. A contagem de moscas nos animais foi realizada na região dorsal, desde a nuca até as pontas da anca de cada animal, no início e ao final de um período de cinco meses. Na avaliação in vitro, o grupo controle apresentou média de emergência de 86% (± 8,4%), enquanto o grupo cultivado em fezes de bovinos tratados com diflubenzuron a 25% apresentou taxa de emergência média de 1% (± 0,2%), sendo a eficácia calculada de 98,83%. No teste in vivo, não foi observada redução significativa na contagem de moscas no grupo C, porém, no grupo T houve significativa redução da infestação por H. irritans (t = 16,46, p < 0,0001). A eficácia do produto, em condições de campo, foi de 99,20%. O diflubenzuron a 25% adicionado ao sal mineral mostrou-se eficaz contra H. irritans, sendo indicado para esse fim.
In this experiment, the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of a 25% diflubenzuron commercial formulation were evaluated for control of Haematobia irritans infestation on cattle. For the in vitro test, horn-fly eggs were cultivated in feces from untreated or treated with 25% diflubenzuron for verification of adult emergence. In the in vivo test, 40 crossbred female bovines were divided into 2 experimental groups: Controls (C) and treated (T) with 25% diflubenzuron, with similar horn-fly infestations. In the in vitro test, the control group had a mean emergence of 86% (± 8.4%) while the group cultivated in feces from cattle treated with 25% diflubenzuron had a mean emergence rate of only 1% (± 0.2%), showing product efficacy of 98.83%. In the in vivo test no significant reduction was observed in the fly count of the C group, whereas the T group showed a clear reduction in the infestation (t = 16.46, p < 0.0001). The efficacy of the product under field conditions was 99.20%. In conclusion, the formulation of 25% diflubenzuron demonstrated efficacy against H. irritans, and is therefore indicated for this purpose.
