DISTRIBUTION AND METHODS OF STRUGGLE WITH ECTOPARASITES OF PREDATORY ANIMALS

Abstract

The statistics show that in recent decades in our country the
number of dogs and cats, both domestic and homeless, has increased
considerably, especially in large cities. As a result, the number of
ectoparasites, which cause significant damage to pets, has also increased.
The level of distribution of ectoparasit invasion among domestic and
homeless dogs and cats in the city of Kyiv was analyzed and the effectiveness
of several anti-parasitic drugs, namely Cystotil, Broadline and Bravecto, was
compared.
The research was conducted in March-September 2018. During the
study, clinical, parasitic, microscopic, morphological and statistical methods
were used.
The materials of the study were deep scratches from the affected areas
of the skin from animals suspected of the disease, selected from the ear canal,
examined hair with hair follicles. The results of determining the species
composition of ectoparasites, which parasitize on dogs and cats of the city of
Kyiv, are presented.
The distribution of entomoses and acaroses among domestic and
homeless dogs and cats was studied. With the help of research, a significant
defeat of dogs and cats by fleas, volosoids, demodexes, nocturnal organs,
oedotexes and sarcoplasts was established.
It was found that the most common ectoparasitic diseases of dogs and
cats in the city of Kyiv are sinhapterosis (EI = 70 %) and oudectosis– 20 %.
The most effective remedy for sinhapterosis, lingonathosis and
trichodectose and ovidectasis were the Brodline and Brockto preparations.
The death of ectoparasites was observed in the 2-5 days of the study.
