the distribution and prevalence of stephanofilariasis in cattle in queensland.	a total of 10,543 cattle from 1,386 farms throughout queensland was examined at abattoirs and the presence of stephanofilarial lesions was related to property of origin, sex, breed, and age of the slaughtered cattle and season of slaughter. the mean prevalence was 38% and within the infected area this varied from less than 5% in south east queensland to 95% on cape york peninsula. the prevalence of lesions was higher in bulls than in steers [corrected] and was least in cows [corrected]. bos indi ...	1986	3741275

possible risk factors on queensland dairy farms for acaricide resistance in cattle tick (boophilus microplus).	a case control study was carried out within a cross-sectional survey designed to investigate the management by queensland dairy farmers of the cattle tick boophilus microplus. although 199 farmers were surveyed, data on acaricide resistance were only obtained from 66 farms. multiple models were used to predict the probability of acaricide resistance associated with 30 putative risk factors. the region of the state in which the farm was located and the frequency of acaricide application were cons ...	2000	10681025
using genetics to control cattle parasites-the rockhampton experience.	ever since their accidental introduction, cattle ticks, gastrointestinal nematodes and buffalo flies have been major parasites of cattle in northern australia. enormous effort and resources have been directed at chemical control of these parasites but the problem persists in undiminished form. the principal control measure remains the use of breeds that have some degree of parasite resistance. no breed is completely resistant and all are at times adversely affected by parasites. complete resista ...	2000	10719118
