Summary. Despite the success achieved in
the control of parasitic animal diseases, there are still some issues that need
to be scientifically sound. The issue of prevention and treatment of
animals affected by ectoparasites is especially relevant. The study aimed to
establish and experimentally confirm the effectiveness of innovative
ectoparasiticides for dogs and cats for prevention and therapy in parasitic
infections. Innovative antiparasitic drugs with the main active ingredient
imidacloprid were used in the experiments: ‘MegaStop for dogs’
(drops for external use, spot application), ‘Golden Defence for dogs
spot-on’, ‘MegaStop for cats’ (drops for external use, spot
application), ‘Golden Defence for cats spot-on’. Following the
objectives of the study, we used visual and microscopic methods in accordance
with existing practical manuals and current guidelines. According to the
results of the research, a stable infection of experimental dogs with fleas was established at the mean intensity of
7.5 ± 2.0 parasite individuals per 10 cm² of
animal skin, and otodectosis, sarcoptosis, and notoedrosis were diagnosed
separately in some animals. Experimental cats were diagnosed with otodectosis,
notoedrosis, sarcoptosis, demodicosis by clinical
signs. Parasitism of fleas on the animal bodies was detected, and in one animal
heartworm disease was diagnosed. The mean intensity of
flea infection in cats ranged from 8 to
12 parasite individuals per 10 cm2 of skin, and the mean
intensity of mite infection was 2–3 mites in the field of view of
the microscope. High activity of ‘MegaStop for dogs’, ‘Golden
Defence for dogs spot-on’, ‘MegaStop for cats’, ‘Golden
Defence for cats spot-on’ as agents with a broad spectrum of action
against fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.), acariform mites (Otodectes
cynotis, Notoedres cati, Sarcoptes
sapis), mites of the genus Demodex; heartworm (effective
against L3 and L4 larvae of Dirofilaria immitis) has been established
Keywords: antiparasitic drugs, dogs, cats, fleas,
acariform mites, Demodex spp.,
