ABSTRACT
Myiasis or the infestation of the living, necrotic or dead tissues of the body of man or animals by the dipterous fly larvae is a world wide welfare problem. In this paper, the broad spectrum antiparasitic drug, ivermectin, was used in vitro against the larvae of the green bottle fly, Lucilia sericata. The LC50 was found to be 9 ppm [0.76 - 1.5] and the slope function was 0.59. This means that ivermectin is a safe and very effective larvicide for L. sericata
