Subscribe to New Research on Ectoparasitic Infestations

Infestations by PARASITES which live on, or burrow into, the surface of their host's EPIDERMIS. Most ectoparasites are ARTHROPODS.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Ectoparasitic Infestations:

1.	Ivermectin (Mectizan)FDA Link 04/01/2003 - "Promising results in off-label applications for ectoparasitic infestations are increasingly important as resistance to topical therapy becomes more prevalent Ivermectin represents an advance in the therapeutic armamentarium and should be considered in appropriate cases." 01/01/1992 - "High concentrations of ivermectin were measured in skin, ears and ear wax, suggesting that the drug should be effective in the treatment of ectoparasitic infestations, particularly ear mites. " 08/01/1994 - "Preliminary studies indicate that ivermectin has the potential to become the drug of choice for ectoparasitic infestations (mites, lice) of humans as well." 07/01/2010 - "Ivermectin has recently (experimentally) started to be used to control ectoparasitic infestations in Mediterranean cultured marine fish. "
2.	amitraz (Taktic)IBA 05/01/2002 - "Amitraz is used topically in the treatment of demodicosis and other ectoparasitic infestations. " 01/01/2011 - "Amitraz, a centrally acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, is increasingly being used for treatment of ectoparasitic infestation in cattle. " 01/01/1988 - "Amitraz, a formamidine insecticide, is used topically in the treatment of demodicosis and other ectoparasitic infestations. "
3.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 01/01/2006 - "Additionally, work in the development of vaccination of hosts with antigenic midgut proteins of mites to control ectoparasitic infestations continues."
4.	Cholinesterase Inhibitors (Anticholinesterases)IBA 01/01/2005 - "Acetylcholinesterases have a history as targets for therapeutic agents against helminth parasites, but anti-cholinesterases have been used much more extensively as pesticides, for example to control crop damage and ectoparasitic infestation of livestock. "
5.	Adrenergic Agonists (Adrenergic Receptor Agonist)IBA 01/01/2011 - "Amitraz, a centrally acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, is increasingly being used for treatment of ectoparasitic infestation in cattle. "
6.	formamidine (formamidinium)IBA 01/01/1988 - "Amitraz, a formamidine insecticide, is used topically in the treatment of demodicosis and other ectoparasitic infestations. "
