This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Drugs used to treat common parasites, Ectoparasites example Ticks, • Educating the pet owner on important aspect of the flea life cycle • Implementation of mechanical control procedures • The use of an effective adulticide and • Administration of a residual IGR to suppress reproduction once the activity of the adulticide falls below 100%. GOALS OF FLEA CONTROL ARE: • -elimination of existing fleas on the pet(s) • -provide for continued elimination of fleas acquired from the flea infested premises • -prevention of subsequent reinfestations, Formamidines Amitraz:topically toxic if ingested (yohombine reversible) For Lice, Ectoparasites example Mites & Lice, Drugs Imidocarb (injectable) cholinergic effects on the protozoan (not used in food animals), Ectoparasites example Keds, Clinical Signs with respect to helminths, important drugs Frontline Plus • Fast-acting • Waterproof • fipronil and (S)-methoprene, effectively target fleas in all stages, Nematodes with respect to helminths, DRUGS USED TO TREAT issues of major concern RESISTANCE, GiardiaVax killed trophozoite vaccine (give twice 2-4 weeks apart to ɴ week old dogs) was recently marketed for multiple strains with the label claim of reduced clinical disease, less cysts shed – Potential use in integrated control programs in high risk situations., For Fleas & Ticks Important Drugs (click arrow for more info), Cestodes with respect to helminths, Diagnostic Techniques ???? Endoparasites, Endoparasites example Nematodes, important drugs Trifexis • 3-way parasite protection against fleas, heartworm, and intestinal worms available in a monthly chewable tablet, Drugs other drugs used – Nicarbazine, Amprolium, Monensin (DON’T USE IN HORSES), Decoquinate, Robenidine, The active ingredients in FRONTLINE PLUS, fipronil and (S)-methoprene, effectively target fleas in all stages. Fipronil provides long-lasting protection against fleas, chewing lice, and ticks by collecting in hair follicles for continuing release onto the coat and skin. Benefits of FRONTLINE PLUS Prevents development of all stages of fleas, including eggs, larvae, pupae Kills all stages of fleas, including eggs, larvae, and adults Effective on deer ticks, American dog ticks, brown dog ticks, and lone star ticks Quickly stops chewing lice infestations Prevents and eliminates flea infestations and reinfestations Helps control infestations of sarcoptic mange Helps prevent allergic dermatitis caused by fleas and Lyme disease resulting from tick bites Safe for use during breeding and on pregnant and lactating bitches Long-lasting, fast-acting, and waterproof Convenient to apply and use, Nematodes ????
