Integrated Parasite Management for sheep 

Worms, lice and blowflies are the three biggest health problems for the Australian sheep industry and represent over $700 million in direct and indirect costs to Australian woolgrowers every year.

Forecasts suggest that these costs could increase significantly, due to increased parasite resistance to chemical control, impeded market access from pesticide residues, and growing occupational health and safety concerns.

There is an urgent need to develop parasite control programs that do not strongly select for chemical resistance, produce nil or very low residue wool at harvest, and which do not pose human health concerns.
