Cutaneous ectoparasites

Dermatologic Therapy, 2009
Parasites inhabit many places in the world. Some of these can inhabit the human skin or body. Many of these have been eradicated in the developed countries but persist in some tropical environments that are fun places to visit. Visitors can bring such parasites home with them such as scabies, cutaneous larva migrans, tungiasis and myiasis.

Ectoparasite Control

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2006
The severity of damage that insects, ticks, and mites may have on their bovine hosts ranges from undetectable effects on energy expenditure to the death of the host. These pest insects can cause direct damage to their hosts by their annoyance, irritation, blood feeding, modification of host behavior, and invasion of tissues.

Pharmacotherapy of Ectoparasitic Infections

Drugs, 2001
Epizoonoses such as scabies, lice and cimicosis are common, vexing disorders that occur worldwide. Historically, many treatment modalities have been employed in the management of these disorders, and most of the drugs described in this review are of historical interest and no longer recommended or in widespread use because of their wide spectrum of ...

Resistance by Ectoparasites

2008
Significant amounts of pesticides are used to control ectoparasites of humans, livestock, pets, and even domesticated honey bees. Thus, it should not be surprising that many of these ectoparasites have evolved resistance to the pesticides. The various case studies in this chapter demonstrate that alternatives to pesticides must be considered. Improving

Novel vaccines for ectoparasites

Veterinary Parasitology, 1997
Novel vaccines against ectoparasites have the potential to be cost-effective new technology for pest control that avoids some of the real and perceived problems with insecticide and acaricide usage. Nevertheless, their development is in its infancy. A vaccine against the cattle tick Boophilus microplus, the world's first vaccine against an ectoparasite,

Ectoparasites—the underestimated realm

The Lancet, 2004
Ectoparasitoses (infestations with parasites that live on or in the skin) can cause considerable morbidity. Whereas pediculosis and scabies are ubiquitous, cutaneous larva migrans and tungiasis (sand-flea disease) occur mainly in hot climates. The prevalence of ectoparasitoses in the general population is usually low, but can be high in vulnerable ...

Integrated control of ectoparasites [PDF]

open access: possibleRevue Scientifique et Technique de l'OIE, 1994
Integrated control of ectoparasites of veterinary importance is being implemented on a limited basis at present. However, several forces are accelerating a global shift to integrated pest management (IPM). These accelerating forces include the following: reduction in new chemical compounds registered for use on livestock and poultry universal ...
