Use of acyl urea compounds for controlling endoparasites and ectoparasites of warm-blooded animals

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to the use of acyl urea compounds for the systemic control of endoparasites and ectoparasites of warm-blooded animals.
2. Background of the Invention
Animal parasites, such as mites, lice, ticks, grubs, biting flies, coccidia, flukes, tapeworms, hookworms and other helminths, cause severe economic losses to livestock producers. Infestations may result in reduced feed efficiency, weight loss, decreased production of milk or eggs, and increased incidence of disease or death. The control of animal parasites is therefore one of the most important problems in the field of animal husbandry.
Certain insecticides, such as coumaphos, carbaryl and lindane, are currently available for control of some of these parasites. Insect growth regulators, such as methoprene (juvenile hormone mimic) and diflubenzuron, have been used as feed additives to control fly larvae in livestock and chicken manure. See, for example, Breeden et al, J. Econ. Entomol. 68 (4), 451-452 (1975) and Barker and Newton, J. Ga. Entomol. Soc. 11 (1), 71-75 (1976). Additionally, Barrett et al, Southwest Entomol. 3 (3), 232-236 (1978) and Prasert et al, J. Econ. Entomol. 68 (5), 639-640 (1975) report that oral administration of methoprene to cattle and sheep will help control cattle grubs and sheep bot fly respectively. Devaney and Kubena, Insecticide and Acaricide Tests 7, 247 (1982) concluded that diflubenzuron, on the other hand, was not effective for systemic control of northern fowl mite on poultry.
Systemic control of animal parasites is accomplished by absorbing a parasiticide in the bloodstream or other tissues of the host animal. Parasites which eat or come into contact with the parasiticide-containing blood or tissue are killed, either by ingestion or contact. Only a very few insecticides have been found to be sufficiently nontoxic to be used systemically in animals.
Accordingly, the object of this invention is to provide a method for the use of certain acyl urea compounds to systemically control animal parasites. This and other objects will readily become apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the teachings herein set forth.

Bicyclic ring systems encompassed by R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 in formula 1 may be represented by generalized formulae 3 and 4 as follows: ##STR12## wherein B.sub.2 and B.sub.3 may be independently a saturated or unsaturated carbon atom or a saturated nitrogen atom, A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 independently represent the ring-forming chains of atoms described below and Z represents one or more substituents selected independently from among the group of substituents defined for Z herein. Combinations of A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 may be selected from among the arrays of atoms listed below in items (21) through (98) and may contain in combination with either B.sub.1 or B.sub.2, but not both, from 0 to 2 double bonds. A.sub.2 and A.sub.3, independent of B.sub.2 and B.sub.3, may contain entirely from 1 to 11 carbon atoms, may contain a combination of 1 to 3 heteroatoms which may be selected independently from among N, O, S, P or other heteroatoms together with from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or may contain from 1-3 ring-forming heteroatoms alone.
Ring-forming heteroatoms may in some cases bear oxygen atoms, as in aromatic N-oxides and ring systems containing the sulfinyl, sulfonyl, selenoxide and phosphono groups. Selected carbon atoms contained in A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 may bear carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, substituted or unsubstituted imino groups or substituted or unsubstituted methylidene groups.
In regard to structures encompassed within formulae 3 and 4, it is noted as follows:
(a) When B.sub.2 and B.sub.3 are both nitrogen, the groups A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 should each contain no fewer than three ring atoms;

It is recognized that bycyclic ring systems defined for R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be spirocyclic ring systems and are not limited to the fused bicyclic structures of formulae 3 and 4. Spirocyclic ring systems may be saturated or unsaturated carbocyclic or heterocyclic and may be independently substituted by one or more substituents Z as defined herein.

It is appreciated that the particular urea compounds listed hereinabove are illustrative of urea compounds which may be used in the method of this invention. The method of this invention is not to be construed as being limited only to the use of these urea compounds; but rather, the method of this invention includes those urea compounds encompassed within formula 1 hereinabove.
The term "parasites" as used in the specification and claims is meant to encompass all endoparasites and ectoparasites of warm-blooded animals as well as pests that breed in the manure of the animals.
In particular, representative parasites which may be controlled by the method of this invention include members of the Arthropoda, including mites of the suborders Mesostigmata, Sarcoptiformes, Trombidiformes and Onchychopalpida; sucking and biting lice of the orders Anoplura and Mallophaga; ticks of the families Ixodidae and Argasidae; fleas of the families Pulicidae, Ceratophyllidae, and others; Cimex and other Hemiptera; Triatoma and other Heteroptera; and myiasis-related fly larvae and blood sucking adults (including mosquitoes) of the suborders Brachycera, Cyclorrhapha and Nematocera. Representative also are helminths included in the Nematoda (Strongylida, including but not limited to Strongyloidea, Ancylostomatoidea, Trichostrongyloidea and Metastrongyloidea; Ascarida [Ascaris]; Filariina, such as but not limited to Onchocerca and Dirofilaria; Rhabditida; and Trichinellida); Cestoidea, especially Cyclophyllidea, and Trematoda, including Strigeatoidea such as Schistosoma; Echinostomida such as Fasciola; and Plagiorchiida such as Paragonimus. Other parasites which may be controlled by compounds represented by generic formula 1 include Acanthocephala such as Macracanthorhynchus, Onicola or Moniliformis, and Pentastomida, especially Linguatula; and Protozoa, especially Coccidia such as Eimeria and Plasmodium, Piroplasmea such as Babesia; Toxoplasmea such as Trypanosoma; Trichomonadidae such as Trichomonas and Entamoebidae such as Entamoeba.
Illustrative of specific parasites of various host animals which may be controlled by the method of this invention include arthropods such as mites (mesostigmatids, itch, mange, scabies, chiggers), ticks (soft-bodied and hard-bodied), ice (sucking, biting), fleas (dog flea, cat flea, oriental rat flea), true bugs (bed bugs, kissing bugs), bloodsucking adult flies (horn fly, horse fly, stable fly, black fly, deer fly, louse fly, tsetse fly, punkies, mosquitoes), and parasitic fly maggots (bot fly, blow fly, screwworm, cattle grub, fleeceworm); helminths such as nematodes (threadworm, lungworm, hookworm, whipworm, nodular worm, stomach worm, round worm, pinworm, heartworm), cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (liver fluke, blood fluke); protozoa such as coccidia, trypanosomes, trichomonads, amoebas and plasmodia; acanthocephalans such as thorny-headed worms; and pentastomids such as tongueworms.
Also, the acyl urea compounds of formula 1 may be administered to a vertebrate definitive host for control of arthropod intermediate hosts which feed on the feces of the vertebrate host. For example, an arthropod intermediate host of helminths and other disease and nuisance-causing organisms, which arthropod host feeds on the feces of a vertebrate host treated with one or more acyl urea compounds of formula 1, can be controlled by the method of this invention.
The method of parasite control of this invention is of the systemic type. The acyl urea compounds of formula 1 are useful parasiticides for the systemic control of endoparasites and ectoparasites which feed on living tissues of warm-blooded animals. These acyl urea compounds have the ability to permeate the living tissues of a host animal to which one of the acyl urea compounds is administered. Endoparasites and ectoparasites which consume blood or other living tissues of the host animal ingest or contact the acyl urea compound with which the tissue is permeated, and are thereby killed. It is believed that the blood is an agency through which the acyl urea compound is dispersed through the host animal. However, as illustrated in the working examples hereinafter, systemic control is observed from topical (pour-on) applications of acyl urea compounds of formula 1, thereby indicating that the acyl urea compounds permeate other tissues as well as blood. The acyl urea compounds of formula 1 are also effective for the control of pests which breed in the manure of warm-blooded animals.
Endoparasites and ectoparasites which feed on the living tissues of animals are killed by the acyl urea compounds of formula 1. Those parasites which suck the host animal's blood, those which burrow into and feed on the animal's tissue, and those, like the larvae of bot flies, which enter a natural orifice of the host, attach to the mucous membranes, and feed therefrom may be all equally effectively killed.
It is understood that the parasites mentioned above are not confined to the single host animal with which each is generally identified. Certain parasites inhabit various hosts, although most parasites have a favorite host. For example, the mange mite attacks at least horses, hogs, mules, humans, dogs, cats, foxes, rabbits, sheep, and cattle. Horseflies freely attack horses, mules, cattle, hogs, dogs, and most other animals. Use of the acyl urea compounds of formula 1 kills parasites of the types described above growing in various host animals. For example, these acyl urea compounds may be effective in cats, goats, camels, and zoo animals.
The parasites controlled by the method of this invention normally affect warm-blooded animals. Representative of animals affected are humans and domestic animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, poultry, swine, dogs, and cats.
The time, manner, and rates at which the acyl urea compounds are effectively administered may be varied over a wide range. The acyl urea compounds can be administered to the animals at rates from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg./kg of animal body weight. The best rate for killing a given parasite infesting a given animal must be determined individually, but it is generally found that in most cases the optimum rate is within the preferred range of from about 0.25 to 100 mg./kg. of animal body weight. The optimum rate for a given instance depends on such factors as the activity of the specific acyl urea compound employed, the method of administration, the level of infestation, the duration of control desired, the health of the animal to be treated, the susceptibility of the parasite of primary concern, the expense which can be borne by the animal, and the degree of control desired.
The acyl urea compounds of formula 1 are effective when administered at any time of year to animals of any age. It is possible to administer these acyl urea compounds to the animals continuously, as by constant feeding of a diet which contains one of the acyl urea compounds, and thus assure that all parasites which contact the treated animal will be killed. Such administration, however, may not be economical, and it will often be found best to administer the acyl urea compound at such times as to give the best return of parasite control for the compound expended. Certain parasites have a known active season when they attack animals. If such a parasite is of primary importance, the acyl urea compounds can be used only during the active season with assurance of year-round control of the parasite. Other parasites infest and bite animals essentially the year round. Control of such parasites can still be accomplished with relatively brief periods of administration by administering the acyl urea compounds to all the animals on a farm or in an area for a short period of time, such as for a few weeks. All the parasites of a generation are thus killed, and the animals can be expected to remain parasite-free for a considerable length of time.
Oral administration of an acyl urea compound of formula 1 may be performed by mixing the acyl urea compound in the animal's feed or drinking water, vitamin or mineral supplement, or by administering oral dosage forms such as drenches, tablets, bolus, salt block or capsules. Such oral means of administration are well known in the art.
Percutaneous administration may be conveniently accomplished by subcutaneous, dermal, intramuscular, and even intravenous injection of the injection devices as well as needle-less air-blast injection devices may be useful. Percutaneous administration is also meant to include surface treatment of the animal by dipping (drenching), pour-on, spraying, or dusting. As illustrated in the working examples hereinafter, systemic control is observed from surface treatments of the acyl urea compounds of formula 1.
Sustained action of the acyl urea compounds of formula 1 can be obtained by formulating the acyl urea compound in a matrix which will physically inhibit dissolution. The formulated matrix is injected into the body where it remains as a depot from which the compound slowly dissolves. Matrix formulations, now well known in the art, can be formulated in waxy semisolids such as vegetable waxes and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
Even more effective sustained action may be obtained by introducing into the animal an implant containing one of the acyl urea compounds of formula 1. Such implants are well known in veterinary art. Such administration can be highly economical and efficacious, because a properly designed implant maintains a constant concentration of the acyl urea compound in the tissues of the host animal. An implant can be designed to supply the acyl urea compound for several months, and can easily be inserted in the animal. No further handling of the animal or concern over the dosage is necessary after the insertion of the implant.
Percutaneous administration of formula 1 acyl urea compounds may be carried out in the ways usual in the animal veterinary art. For example, it may be practical to formulate an injectable suspension of the acyl urea compound as a fine powder, suspended in a formulation of physiologically-acceptable liquid carriers, surfactants, and suspending agents.
The liquid carriers can be, for example, a vegetable oil such as peanut oil, corn oil, or sesame oil, a glycol such as a polyethylene glycol, or water, depending on the acyl urea compound chosen.
Suitable physiologically acceptable adjuvants may be necessary to keep the acyl urea compound of formula 1 suspended. The adjuvants can be chosen from among the emulsifiers, such as salts of dodecylbenzene sulfate and toluenesulfonate, ethylene oxide adducts of alkylphenol, and oleate and laurate esters, and from the dispersing agents such as salts of naphthalenesulfonate, lignin sulfonate and fatty alcohol sulfates. Thickeners such as carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin and the alginates may also be used as adjuvants for injectable suspensions. Many classes of surfactants, as well as those which have been discussed above, serve to suspend the acyl urea compound. For example, lecithin and the polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters may be useful surfactants.
The acyl urea compounds used in the method of this invention can be administered to the animal directly in an undiluted form or the active compound may be formulated with a suitable carrier prior to use. A suitable carrier for purposes of this invention is a carrier which will have no deleterious effect on the animal being treated or on the method or results of the invention. The carrier can be either solid or liquid depending upon the compound and method of administration selected by one skilled in the art. Suitable liquid carriers include water, N-methylpyrrolidone, vegetable oil, and other non-toxic liquid carriers with or without surfactants. Liquid concentrates can be prepared by dissolving one of the active compounds with a non-toxic solvent and dispersing the toxicants in water with the aid of suitable surface active emulsifying and dispersing agents. The choice and quantity of dispersing and emulsifying agents employed is dictated by the ability of the agent to facilitate dispersion of the toxicant. For a solid formulation such as a powder, tablet, paste, or the like, the active ingredient is dispersed in and on an appropriate carrier such as clay, talc, or dry molasses.
Formulations useful in the conduct of the method of this invention can also contain other optional ingredients such as stabilizers or other biologically active compounds, insofar as they do not impair or reduce the activity of the compounds towards the parasites and do not harm the animal being treated.
The formulation of veterinary additives in animal feed is an extremely well-known art. It is usual to formulate the compound first as a premix in which the acyl urea compound of formula 1 is dispersed in a liquid or particulate solid carrier. The premix may conveniently contain from about 1 to 400 grams of compound per pound of carrier, depending on the desired concentration of the feed.
The premix is in turn formulated into feed by dispersing it in the feed mixture in a conventional mixer. The correct amount of acyl urea compound, and hence of premix, to mix in the feed can be easily computed by taking into account the weight of the animals, the approximate amount each animal eats per day, and the concentration of the compound in the premix.
Likewise, the amount of acyl urea compound to administer in the drinking water of animals can be computed by taking into account the animal's weight and the amount each animal drinks per day. It is convenient to use a suspendable formulation of the desired acyl urea compound. The formulation may be a suspension in the concentrated form which is mixed into the drinking water, or may be a dry preparation which is mixed with and suspended in the drinking water. In either event, the acyl urea compound should be in a finely-powdered form. The acyl urea compounds can easily be formulated into tablets and capsules according to the conventional methods known in the art. Drench formulations comprise the acyl urea compound dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous liquid mixture. It is convenient and efficacious to use a dispersion of the acyl urea compound made in the same way that the drinking water formulations discussed above are made.
It is appreciated that the acyl urea compounds of generic formula 1 may be used in combination with each other and/or with one or more biologically active materials, e.g., medicinal drugs, vertebrate toxicants, growth promoters, vitamins, minerals, etc., known in the veterinary art. Such combinations may be used for the known or other purpose of each ingredient and may provide a synergistic effect. The combinations may be administered according to the known or other methods for administering the biologically active materials, e.g., orally, implant, pour-on, injection, etc.

It is understood that the above biologically active materials are merely representative of a wide variety of materials that can be combined with the acyl urea compounds of formula 1 for use in the method of this invention.
The inherent low mammalian toxicity of these compounds by all routes of entry makes them ideally suited for medical and veterinary parasite control. There may also be a reduced probability of pest resistance developing to this chemical class relative to compounds which are dependent upon cholinesterase-inhibition. When administered orally, by pour-on, by implant, or by injection, the costly expense of spray equipment and labor for spraying are eliminated. Problems associated with coverage and penetration of feathers or hair are also avoided.
The method of this invention including the preparation of acyl urea compounds of formula 1 utilized therein is illustrated by the following examples.

EXAMPLE VIII
Systemic Control of Northern Fowl Mite
(Ornithonyssus sylviarum)
White Leghorn laying hens housed in commercial egg laying cages were preinfested with northern fowl mites 3 weeks prior to being fed the treated feed. The feed was prepared by dissolving Compound 1 (technical grade) in soybean oil and blending the solution with a standard poultry ration. An untreated blank was prepared by blending soybean oil alone with the ration. Twenty birds received feed treated with 500 ppm of Compound 1 and 20 birds received the soybean oil (control). Birds were maintained on the rations for 5 consecutive weeks. Mite counts on each bird were made at weekly intervals, and the number of mites expressed according to the standard index: 0=no mites, 1=1 to 10 mites, 2=11 to 50 mites, 3=50 to 100 mites, 4=100 to 500 mites, 5=500 to 1,000 mites, 6=1,000 to 10,000 mites, 7.gtoreq.10,000 mites.
Results presented in Table 2 show that mite populations on birds receiving feed treated with Compound 1 declined rapidly with most birds free of mites after 3 weeks of feeding. Untreated birds remained heavily infested throughout the trial. At the end of 5 weeks, mite-infested control birds maintained on untreated feed were switched to feed treated with the title compound. As before, mite-free birds were produced in 3 weeks (Table 3).

When the experiment was repeated using Compound 1 at a lower feed additive concentration (50 ppm), a similar result occurred (Table 4). Treated feed for this trial was prepared by mixing dry formulated wettable powder directly with the feed. The dry formulated wettable powder was prepared by uniformly mixing the following ingredients (percentages are all by weight):

This mixture was then finely pulverized and remixed by mechanical or air-attrition grinding to obtain the desired wettable powder.

EXAMPLE IX
Systemic Control of Northern Fowl Mite
(Ornithonyssus sylviarum)
The experiment described in Example VIII was conducted using Compound 2 in concentrations of 50 ppm and 5 ppm. Treated feed for this trial was prepared by mixing dry formulated wettable powder of Compound 2 directly with the feed. The dry formulated wettable powder was prepared by uniformly mixing the following ingredients (percentages are all by weight):

This mixture was then finely pulverized and remixed by mechanical or air-attrition grinding to obtain the desired wettable powder.
Similar results as occurred in Example VIII were observed (Table 5) using the same mite index as in Example VIII. After 4 weeks the birds receiving Compound 2 in their feed were virtually free of mites even at 5 ppm of Compound 2. Untreated birds remained heavily infested with mites throughout the test period.

EXAMPLE X
Systemic Control of Northern Fowl Mite on Chickens
White Leghorn pullets (20 weeks old at beginning of this experiment) of the Hy-Line strain were preinfested with northern fowl mites 3 weeks prior to being fed the treated feed. The infested birds were housed two per standard commercial cage with two cages per treatment (four birds) and the untreated controls. Each group of birds was provided with the corresponding treated feed continuously during the 4 weeks of each test. The feed was prepared by suspending one of the compounds (technical grade) identified in Tables 6 and 7 below in ethanol and then spraying the solution onto a standard poultry ration to provide 200 ppm of active ingredient (by weight). An untreated blank was prepared by blending ethanol alone with the ration. Mite counts on each bird were made at weekly intervals, and the number of mites expressed according to the standard index described hereinabove. The results are set for in Tables 6 and 7 below.

EXAMPLE XI
Pass-through Effects on Pests in Poultry Manure
Concurrent with monitoring feed additive effects of Compounds 1 and 2 on northern fowl mite, manure from the treated and untreated hens of Examples VIII and IX was collected to determine its toxicity to developing larvae of the house fly (Musca domestica). House fly eggs used in these tests were from a laboratory colony established from field-caught flies within a year of the test.
Manure collections were made by suspending plastic covered boards below the cages at intervals throughout the feeding studies of Examples VIII and IX. Samples were then placed in plastic cups with screen lids and inoculated with 50 fly eggs per cup. Adult fly emergence was monitored over a period of 10-30 days. Also measured was the residual toxicity of manure after treated birds were returned to untreated feed (flushing effect).
Table 8 presents the results of the treated feed pass-through tests. Manure from birds fed Compound 1 or Compound 2 in their feed was highly toxic to house fly larvae. Few adults emerged from the droppings of the treated birds whereas a substantial percentage of adults emerged from the manure of the untreated birds.

Pass-through Effects on Pests in Poultry Manure
Concurrent with monitoring feed additive effects of the compounds in Example X on northern fowl mite, manure from the treated and untreated chickens of Example X was collected to determine its toxicity to developing larvae of the house fly (Musca domestica). House fly eggs used in these tests were from a laboratory colony established from field-caught flies within a year of the test.
Manure collections were made by suspending plastic covered boards below the cages at intervals throughout the feeding studies of Example X. Samples were then placed in plastic cups with screen lids and inoculated with 50 fly eggs per cup. Adult fly emergence was monitored over a period of 10-30 days.
Table 10 presents the results of the treated feed pass-through tests. Manure from birds fed certain compounds identified in Table 10 in their feed was highly toxic to house fly larvae. Few adults emerged from the droppings of the treated birds whereas a substantial percentage of adults emerged from the manure of the untreated birds.

EXAMPLE XIII
Systemic Control of Poultry Lice
(Menacanthus stramineus)
White leghorn laying hens housed in commerical egg laying cages were preinfested with lice by adding approximately 50 lice in all stages of development to each bird 3 weeks prior to testing. There were 8 birds each (2 per cage, 4 cages) for the treatment and for the control.
The treated feed was prepared by mixing 1.135 g of Compound 2 (technical grade) with 1 lb. of standard 16% protein laying mash. The 1 lb. of treated feed was then mixed with 99 lbs of laying mash to give a final concentration of Compound 2 in the feed equal to 25 ppm. The control birds were fed the standard laying mash minus Compound 2. The feed, treated or untreated, was provided continuously during the 5 weeks of the test.
Lice populations on each bird were estimated by a standard procedure pretreatment and at weekly intervals after the birds were receiving the treated feed. The lice populations per bird were estimated by recording the total number of lice (nymphs and adults) observed upon parting the feathers in 5 locations (vent area, left thigh, right thigh, left side of breast, right side of breast). Thus, the index in Table 11 is the "no. of lice per 5 feather parts per bird".
As shown in Table 11, the lice population on the birds fed Compound 2 at 25 ppm rapidly declined. The lice population was extremely low after 2 weeks of feeding, and nearly eliminated after 3 weeks of feeding. No lice could be found on any birds after 4 and 5 weeks of feeding. Also, no clusters of lice eggs appeared on the feathers.
Concurrently, there was a gradual increase in the lice population on the untreated control birds. On these birds the lice population increased 3-4 fold during the 5 weeks of the test. Also, there were many lice egg masses on the feathers of these birds.
Lice on chickens are normally very difficult to control but when provided in as little as 25 ppm in the feed of the birds, Compound 2 completely controlled infestations of chicken lice in about 3 weeks.

EXAMPLE XIV
Systemic Control of Cattle Lice
Systemic and direct contact action were evaluated against cattle lice on cattle naturally infested with cattle lice. Compound 1 was administered orally in the feed, as a wipe-on (pour-on) salve along the backline and as a full-coverage contact spray. Compounds 2 and 3 were administered orally in feed and as a wipe-on (pour-on) salve.
Cattle on feed supplements received 8.85 mg ai/kg body wt/day by blending dry wettable powder formulations into a premix of ground grain, minerals, and salt. The dry wettable powder formulations for Compound 1 and 2 were prepared as described in Example VIII and IX respectively. The dry wettable powder formulation for Compound 3 was prepared by uniformly mixing the following ingredients (percentages are all by weight):
______________________________________Compound 3 25.0%Aluminum Silicate 64.5(Englehard ASP-172)Synthetic Silica 2.0(Zeolex 7)Citric Acid 0.5Sodium Naphthalene 2.0Formaldehyde Condensate(Morwet D425)Alkylaryl Sulfonate 4.0(Nacconol 90F)Dioctyl Sodium 2.0Sulfosuccinate(Aerosol OTB)______________________________________
This mixture was then finely pulverized and remixed by mechanical or air-attrition grinding to obtain the desired wettable powder.
Wipe-on formulations were rubbed into the hair along the backline at a rate of 4 oz. form./animal (35 mg ai/kg) (single application). These formulations were prepared by mixing the following ingredients together in a ball mill to produce the following suspensions (percentages are all by weight):

This mixture is then diluted with water and applied to the animal at 0.03 lb ai/gal (1 gal/animal).
Cattle averaged 430 lb/head. One animal was assigned per treatment with the exception of the control group which contained 2 animals.
Parasite loads were measured before and after treatment at 6 weekly intervals. Separate louse counts were taken from head, shoulder and sides, and tail-rump areas of each animal. The hair was parted using a 5-inch blade along which the number of lice/inch were counted.
Louse counts taken from head, shoulder, side, rump, and tail areas of treated cattle confirm that the compounds moved systemically throughout the animal following ingestion or localized penetration in the area of the pour-on (Table 8). Excellent control of both chewing (Bovicola bovis) and sucking (Linognathus vituli) lice was achieved within 2-3 weeks of initial treatment by all routes of administration. After 4 weeks the cattle administered Compound 1 or 2 were virtually lice-free whereas the untreated cattle remained heavily infested.

EXAMPLE XV
Systemic Control of Cattle Nematodes
Systemic action was evaluated against cattle nematodes on cattle naturally infested with internal roundworms. Compound 3 was administered orally in the feed and as a wipe-on (pour-on) salve along the backline.
Cattle on feed supplements received 8.85 mg ai/kg body wt/day by blending dry wettable powder formulations into a premix of ground grain, minerals, and salt. The dry wettable powder formulation for Compound 3 was prepared as described in Example XIV.
Wipe-on formulations were rubbed into the hair along the backline at a rate of 4 oz. form./animal (35 mg ai/kg body wt.) (single application). The wipe-on formulation was prepared as described in Example XIV.
Cattle averaged 430 lb/head. One animal was assigned per treatment with the exception of the control group which contained 2 animals.
Parasite loads were measured before and after treatment at 6 weekly intervals. Intestinal roundworms (primarily strongyles) were monitored using a standard salt fecal floatation technique. Walnut-size portions of manure collected from treated animals were placed in paper cups three-fourths full of a saturated salt solution. After stirring, the resultant slurry was filtered through cheese cloth into a shell vial and a coverslip placed over the top. After 20 minutes, the coverslip was removed, placed on a slide and the total number of worm eggs per slide counted under a light microscope. Nematode egg counts from fecal samples are summarized in Table 13. After 4 weeks, the cattle administered Compound 3 exhibited significantly reduced nematode egg counts in comparison with the untreated cattle.

Systemic Control of Sarcoptic Mange in Pigs
Systemic action was evaluated against the mite Sarcoptes scabiei in pigs infested with the mite. Compound 2 was administered orally in the feed or as a wipe-on (pour-on) salve.
Pigs on feed supplements received 6 mg ai/kg body wt/day by blending dry wettable powder formulations into the feed. The dry wettable powder formulation for Compound 2 was prepared as described in Example IX.
Wipe-on formulations were rubbed into the back or other area of the animal at a rate of 35 mg ai/kg body wt in a single application. The wipe-on formulations were prepared by mixing the following ingredients together in a ball mill to produce a suspension (percentages are all by weight):

EXAMPLE XVII
Systemic Control of Rodent Bot Fly
Systemic activity was evaluated against rodent bot fly on Peramiscus mice infested with rodent bot fly (Cuterebra fontinella). Larval development of this parasite takes place entirely within the body of the host. All compounds identified in Table 15 were administered orally in the feed as part of the daily ration. There were fifteen (15) mice each for the treatments and for the controls. A separate control was used for each treatment. The treated diet was prepared by pulverizing standard laboratory rat chow pellets, dry-incorporating the technical material and repelletizing. The final feeding concentration of each treatment was 200 ppm. Infestation was accomplished by manually placing 3-4 newly hatched bot fly larvae into the eyes of each mouse. Effectiveness was determined by periodically examining the inguinal region of the mouse for breathing holes cut by the migrating bot fly larvae. Further larval development and emergence from the body of the host was also monitored and recorded. All compounds were offered continuously throughout the experiment as well as during a 5-7 day period prior to infestation with the parasite.
The results are set forth in Table 15 below.

The results from Table 15 show a systemic effect as indicated by the major reduction in the number of air holes cut in treated mice.
EXAMPLE XVIII
Systemic Effect Against Flea Reproduction on Cats
Systemic activity was evaluated against fleas on cats infested with fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.). Treated feed for this experiment was prepared by mixing dry formulated wettable powder of the compounds identified in Tables 16 and 17 directly with the feed. The dry formulated wettable powder was prepared by uniformly mixing the following ingredients (percentages are all by weight):
______________________________________Compound 2 or 8 25.0%Aluminum Silicate (Englehard 64.5ASP-172)Synthetic Silica (Zeolex 7) 2.0Citric Acid 0.5Sodium Naphthalene Formaldehyde 2.0Condensate (Morwet D425)Alkylaryl Sulfonate 4.0(Nacconol 90F)Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate 2.0(Aerosol OTB)______________________________________
This mixture was then finely pulverized and remixed by mechanical or air-attrition grinding to obtain the desired wettable powder. The wettable powders were mixed into a portion of the daily ration (10 mg ai/kg body wt/day) and administered orally to the cats which were housed individually in galvanized wire cages. Flea infestations were established and maintained by infesting the test animals with adult fleas prior to and at weekly intervals after beginning treatment. Fifty, 7 to 14 day old, unfed adult fleas were placed along the dorsal midline of each cat. Three cats were used per treatment, each cat receiving the feed supplements for one month.
Treatment effects on adult fleas were assessed by combing them from the cats each week. To determine possible reproductive effects on the subsequent generation, eggs from these adults were collected on plywood boards suspended beneath the cage of each cat. Flea eggs were swept from the boards with a soft nylon brush, transferred to larval rearing media and held for development through one generation.

Although adult fleas feeding on the treated animals were not directly affected, the results from Tables 16 and 17 show that development of their offspring was significantly inhibited. This effect was particularly dramatic after 2 days of receiving the feed supplement, i.e., no F.sub.1 progeny developed through to the adult stage. Examination of the larval rearing containers indicated that the lethal effect on the progeny of exposed adults occurred very early in development; probably within the egg or shortly after hatch. The results from Table 17 indicate that a single 10 mg/kg body weight dose administered orally to cats also provides excellent control (>98% nonviable eggs) for 3 days. Roughly 90% nonviable eggs were still being produced 5 days after treatment.
EXAMPLE XIX
Systemic Control of Black Blowfly in Mice
Male Swiss-Webster mice weighing 30 grams or more were administered the compounds identified in Table 18 via gavage. Four mice were used for each treatment and the controls. The compounds were formulated by mixing technical grade samples of each compound identified in Table 18 with Tween 20.RTM. to a 4% concentration. The mice were dosed at a concentration of 400 mg active ingredient/kg body weight. The mice used in the positive control (bromophos) were dosed at a concentration of 100 mg active ingredient/kg body weight. The mice were euthanized 16 hours following treatment and the rear legs excised. Twenty first instar black blowfly larvae [Phormia regina (Meigen)] were introduced to the excised mouse leg muscle tissue. Blowfly development was monitored (i) 48 hours after introduction to muscle tissue (as a measure of direct larval mortality), (ii) 5 days after introduction to muscle tissue (as a measure of inhibition of pupal development), and (iii) through to adult emergence of the control group (approximately 10-12 days after pupation). Percent mortality was determined by observation of the number of surviving larvae, pupae or adults in treated mice in comparison with the untreated controls.

EXAMPLE XX
Systemic Control of Endoparasitic Cesstodes in Mice
Male Swiss-Webster mice weighing 30 grams or more which had been orally infected with tapeworm (Hymenolepsis nana) eggs were treated with the compounds identified in Table 19. Four mice were used for each treated host and control and two mice were used for each nontreated host. Yomesan was used as a positive control. The compounds were administered as feed additive rations for 18 consecutive days at a concentration of 1000 ppm. Feed additive rations were prepared by uniformly blending technical grade samples of each compound identified in Table 19 with pulverized mice chow (Purina brand Rat Chow #5001). Mice were necropsied after 18 days on the ration and tapeworm development was monitored. Tapeworm eggs found in the gut of the treated mice were introduced into a second group of noninfected and nontreated mice (2 mice per treatment). These mice were each necropsied 14 days after infestation, and again tapeworm development was monitored. Percent mortality was determined by observation of tapeworm development in the gut of mice in comparison with the untreated control, and is based on the number of infected mice in comparison with the number of uninfected mice. The results in Table 19 demonstrate a reduction in tapeworm offspring in the nontreated host. The results in Table 19 also demonstrate direct adult tapeworm developmental inhibition by compounds 56 and 64.

Systemic Control of Cat Flea F.sub.1 Progeny
Adult cats weighing 4.5-6.0 kg were treated with feed additive rations of the compounds identified in Table 20 for seven consecutive days. One cat was used for each treatment and the control. Feed additive rations were prepared by uniformly blending technical grade samples of each compound identified in Table 20 with the daily food to attain a 10 mg active ingredient/kg body weight dosage. Twenty-four hours after the cat hosts were given the feed additive ration for day number 1, each cat was infested with 100 adult cat fleas [Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche')] as 50:50 mixture of males and females. Cat flea ova were collected from pans suspended beneath each cage at various intervals (day numbers 4, 5 and 6), while the host cat was on the 7 day ration. Collected ova were cultured to determine hatch and development to adult stadium. The results are given in Table 20. Percent mortality was determined by observation of the collected ova which developed in comparison with the untreated control.

EXAMPLE XXII
Systemic Control of Endoparasitic Nematodes in Mice
Male Swiss-Webster mice weighing 30 grams or more which had been orally infected with threadworm (Nematospiroides dubius) third stage larvae were treated with compounds identified in Table 21. Four mice were used for each treated host and the controls. Thiabendazole was used as a positive control. The compounds were administered as feed additive rations for 18 consecutive days at a concentration of 1000 ppm. Feed additive rations were prepared by uniformly blending technical grade samples of each compound identified in Table 21 with pulverized mice chow (Purina brand Rat Chow #5001). Mice were necropsied after 18 days on the ration and threadworm development was monitored. On days 12, 13 and 14 of the 18 day period, fecal pellets were collected from the mice and any threadworm eggs which had passed into the feces were cultured to third stage larvae (F.sub.1). Culturing occurred in a clean petri dish at ambient temperature. Development from egg to third stage larvae occurred in about 7-10 days. The results in Table 21 are based on four mice per treatment for the treated host and the controls. Percent mortality for the treated host was determined by observation of threadworm in the necropsied mice after 18 days. Percent mortality for F.sub.1 larvae was determined by observation of third stage larvae in the fecal material in comparison with the untreated control for days 12, 13 and 14 of the 18 day period. The results in Table 21 demonstrate a reduction in F.sub.1 threadworm larvae in comparison with the untreated control for certain of the compounds. The results in Table 21 also demonstrate stunted threadworm size development in the treated host after 18 days.
