| Popis: | Forty-seven cottontail rabbits, Sylvilagu floridanus, were used in a 2 x 2 factorial experiment to determine the effects of parasite reduction on host physiology. Rabbits were treated with insecticide-generating collars (Sergeant's Sentry Dog Collar) and a broad spectrum antihelminth drug (Tramisol, American Cyanamid) to reduce parasite burdens. Rabbits were confined in 4 one-quarter acre outdoor enclosures during the treatment period. Thirty-one rabbits were recovered at the end of the treatment period. Data from these rabbits and 10 wild rabbits were analyzed. Treatment with insecticide-generating collars resulted in complete elimination of ectoparasites from rabbits which received this treatment. The two groups of rabbits which received treatment with the drug Tramisol had a significant reduction (p |
