• WSD LOW VOLUME LEVAMISOLE is a broad-spectrum low-dose treatment which is highly effective against susceptible strains of mature and immature worm parasites of sheep.

• It is highly effective against and can be used to treat infestations by barbers pole worm (Haemonchus) and thin-necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus spp).

• The use of WSD LOW VOLUME LEVAMISOLE or WSD LEVAMISOLE may be indicated in strategic programs to reduce contamination of pastures when testing has shown it to be effective against other local worm parasites. It is advisable to test efficacy before relying on levamisole as a strategic treatment.

• Adult worms of resistant strains of gastrointestinal worm parasites of sheep may not be removed by treatment and this may require the later use of an effective strategic treatment from the WSD range of drenches.

• Levamisole has no effect against tapeworms of sheep or cattle. • Resistance to levamisole is widespread among some species of gastrointestinal parasites on Australian sheep farms.

• The repeated use of any drench is likely to result in the emergence of resistance and therefore, regular testing for efficacy is recommended.
