Evaluation of the safety and insecticidal efficacy of ivermectin-treated bird feed formulations in different avian species
These results suggest that targeting songbirds with IVM-treated bird feed should be safe for wildlife and may elicit high rates of IVM-induced mortality by reaching a large proportion of WNV vector mosquitoes via their proclivity for feeding on passerine birds.
