Efficacy of toxic sugar bait with ivermectin against two fly species (Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae) of medical and veterinary importance
The results suggest that the 0.050% concentration of ivermectin, which is known to be effective against mosquitoes, is also optimal for the rapid population control of synanthropic flies, enabling its integrated use in highly infested or vulnerable environments, such as health care facilities.
