  2. Parasites and Vector Borne Disease • Emphasis on control and prevention • Ectoparasites • Ticks and fleas • Arthropod borne disease • Heartworm • Intestinal parasitism

  3. Ectoparasite Control • Products • Frontline Plus • Fipronil and S-methoprene • GABA gated chloride channel blocker - stimulant • Juvenile hormone anologue (fatty acid derivative) • Active against (Fipronil) • Adult flees, dear tick, brown dog tick, American dog tick, and lone star tick • Active against (S-methoprene) • Flee eggs and larva • Different cat and dog product

  4. Additional Products • Advantix II • Kills and repels • Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes (all stages) • Neurotransmitter disrupters/neurotoxins: • Imidacloprid and permethrin • Growth regulator disrupter • Pyripoxyfen – disrupts egg hatching • Not a cat product • Restrict contact between cats and dogs, 24 hrs post admin

  5. Additional Products • Advantage II • Kills • Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes (all stages) • Neurotransmitter disrupters/neurotoxins: • Imidacloprid • Growth regulator disrupter • Pyripoxyfen – disrupts egg hatching • Cat and dog products

  6. Ectoparasite Borne Diseases • Lyme disease • Deer tick • Dipylidium caninum (one of three tape worms) • Flea ingestion • Hemobartonellosis, anoplasmosis, Rocky mountain spotted fever, rickettsial, ehrilichial agents, etc. • Fleas or tick vectors

  7. Heartworm Prevention • Vector borne microfilarial parasite • Mosquito • Adults cause life threatening chronic lung and heart disease in dogs • Incidence of clinical disease in cats unclear but is likely 1/10th that of canine disease • http://www.heartwormsociety.org/ • Chemoprophylaxis

  8. Heartworm Prevention • Topical/Oral • Oral • Ivermectin (heart guard) or Milbemycin (interceptor) based • Topical • Moxidectin (Advantatge Multi for cats or dogs) • Selamectin (Revolution for cats or dogs)
