Summary. For the control of animal ectoparasites,
a large number of prophylactic and therapeutic agents with different active
ingredients and routes of administration have been proposed.
The persistence of ectoparasitic infections in
domestic animals has led to the search for more effective drugs and innovative
forms of their production. The aim of the study was to establish and
experimentally confirm the efficacy of innovative ectoparasiticidal
sprays for dogs and cats for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes in parasitic
infections. The antiparasitic agents used in the
experiments were ‘PROFILINE Spray’,
‘INSECTOSTOP Spray’, and
‘Barrier-Super Insecticidal Spray’. In accordance with the tasks
set, the research was carried out using visual and
microscopic methods in accordance with existing practical guidelines and
current methodological recommendations. In
the study of ectoparasite collections, ixodid ticks (Ixodes ricinus), dog fleas (Ctenocephalus
canis), and cat fleas (Ctenocephalus
felis) were found. It was shown
that the knockdown effect in all ticks began with a state of disorientation,
the ticks began to move chaotically 6 hours after exposure to the
experimental agents, and after 12 hours there was a complete knockdown of
all experimental ixodid ticks and fleas. The high
efficacy of ‘PROFILINE Spray’, ‘INSECTOSTOP Spray’, and ‘Barrier-Super
Insecticidal Spray’ against
fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.), lice
(Trichodectes canis,
Felicola subrostratus),
lice (Linognathus setosus),
and ixodid ticks (Ixodes spp.)
was experimentally proven. The efficacy of the products is 100% within
60 days of application to animals. According to the results of the
studies, it was found that the investigated veterinary sprays can be used for the prevention and treatment of pets with
fleas, lice, and ixodid ticks
