Ivermectin, an anthelmintic used in livestock, is excreted faeces and can therefore affect non-target organisms. While its effects on coprophagous insects have been well studied, recent research suggests that it be taken up by plants, raising the possibility may a much wider range of invertebrates than previously known. Our study investigated ivermectin from different feeding guilds. First, we tested larvae noctuid moths Spodoptera frugiperda Helicoverpa armigera (chewing herbivores) using artificial diet. Secondly, presence soil pea plants Pisum sativum pea-feeding aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (phloem-feeding herbivore). Thirdly, diet for Drosophila melanogaster as host parasitoid Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae. results showed reduced pupal weight survival moth larvae, inhibited colony establishment emergence rates ivermectin-exposed pupae. These highlight potential to multiple trophic levels emphasise need sustainable veterinary practices use anthelmintics free-ranging livestock companion animals.
