The clinical index and mite counts (mean and individual values) in Belgian Blue cattle that were treated with dexamethasone on days 0, 7 and 14 (Treatment group) or physiological saline (Control group). Statistical significance was assumed at *p < 0.01 and **p < 0.002 for clinical index; statistical significance was assumed at *p < 0.05 for mite counts).
