Abstract

Ethion, an organophosphorus insecticide/acaricide, was found to be effective against the various cattle ticks present in Morogoro Tanzania after it was sprayed on cattle twice weekly for 1 year. The pre- and post-replenishment concentrations of ethion ranged between 0.04 and 0.05%. Ethion was found to be stable in the spraywash. The good efficacy makes ethion a good alternative to dioxathion in tick control in Tanzania.
