Abstract

Chorioptes sp. mite infestation is increasingly recognized as a cause of skin disease in New World camelids and there is a need for an effective treatment protocol to eliminate herd infestation. In this field trial, eprinomectin applied topically at the rate of 0.5 mg kg-1 weekly for 10 weeks was found to be ineffective in a herd of 12 llamas and 16 alpacas.
