Ectoparasite infestations of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Hungary
Veterinary Parasitology, 2003A survey was carried out to investigate the ectoparasite infestations of 100 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Hungary. The overall prevalence of flea and tick infestation was high (62 and 86% with the dominance of the anthropophil Pulex irritans and Ixodes ricinus), but the number of parasites was low to moderate.

The diagnosis and control of ectoparasite infestation
1997This chapter covers the diagnosis and treatment of ectoparasite infestation and associated dermatoses of domestic animals. It includes discussion of ectoparasite control and the more widely used types of ectoparasiticides, but not a comprehensive list of all ectoparasiticides available worldwide.

Stress response of brown pelican nestlings to ectoparasite infestation
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010Measurement of corticosterone has become a useful tool for assessing the response of individuals to ecological stressors of interest. Enhanced corticosterone levels can promote survival of stressful events; however, in situations where a stressor persists and corticosterone levels remain elevated, the adrenocortical response can be detrimental.

Immunomodulation of host responses to ectoparasite infestation – an overview
Veterinary Parasitology, 1984Immune reactivity stimulated by ectoparasites and other arthropods has received increased attention in recent years. It is clear that a broad range of host responses are elicited, and immune effector mechanisms appear to be active in limiting infestation with blood-feeding arthropods. Host immune responsiveness appears to be altered as a consequence of

A case of human ectoparasitic infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. vulpes
Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology, 2022This case highlights how changes in socio-cultural habits, epidemiology and legislations may interfere with correct and prompt diagnosis, both in pets and humans. In animals, sarcoptic mange is an often-misdiagnosed disease because “humanization of domestic animals” leads to diagnose trendier skin pathologies, such as atopic dermatitis.

Urban stray cats infested by ectoparasites with zoonotic potential in Greece
Parasitology Research, 2015A large population of stray cats is encountered in many urban areas sharing the same environment with people, usually being in a close direct contact with them. A variety of ectoparasites can infest such cats, causing mild dermatological abnormalities to more severe systemic disorders.

Ectoparasites infesting dogs and cats in Bishoftu, central Oromia, Ethiopia
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2019A total of 200 dogs and 137 cats were examined for the presence of fleas, ticks and lice in Bishoftu, central Oromia, Ethiopia from September 2009 through April 2010. At least one ectoparasite species was found on 97% (194/200) of the dogs and 90.5% (124/137) of the cats. On dogs, fleas (Ctenocephalides felis (95%), Pulex irritans (20.5%), Echidnophaga

Insecticide and acaricide molecules and/or combinations to prevent pet infestation by ectoparasites
Trends in Parasitology, 2012External antiparasitic drugs used in cats and dogs have evolved in terms of active ingredients but also regarding formulations. Old chemical groups have been supplanted by phenylpyrazoles, neonicotinoids, oxadiazines, spinosyns or others which are entering the veterinary market. In addition to insecticides-acaricides, insect and mite growth inhibitors (

AbstractIn a period cross‐sectional study performed to examine ectoparasites on 340 stray cats in Jerusalem, Israel, 186 (54.7%) were infested with the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), 49 (14.4%) with the cat louse, Felicola subrostratus (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae), 41 (12.0%) with the ear mite, Otodectes cynotis (Astigmata:
