abamectin and ivermectin in primates

also clearly demonstrate the dose

response for exposure to either

compound is much less steep than that

seen in the neonatal rat. Single doses as

high as 24 mg/kg of either abamectin or

ivermectin in rhesus monkeys did not

result in mortality; however, this dose

was more than 2 times the LD50 in the

adult rat and more than 20 times the

LD50 in the neonatal rat. The absence of

a steep dose-response curve in primates

provides a further margin of safety

regarding the probability of toxicity

occurring in infants or children exposed

to avermectin compounds. The

significant human clinical experience

and widespread animal drug uses of

ivermectin without systemically toxic,

developmental, or postnatal effects

supports the safety of abamectin to

infants and children.

F. International Tolerances

There are no abamectin Codex

maximum residue levels for avocados,

celeriac, grass forage, grass hay, stone

fruit, mint, tree nut crop group,

pistachios and tuberous and corm

vegetables crop subgroup.

in the ground following application of

product. (Daniel Peacock; Rm. 223,
