Titolo: Exspot, Advantix ed altri

E` scientificamente provata la loro azione come repellenti per 
flebotomi e idrovore alate estive varie?
La domanda nasce da una discussione avuta a cena con il mio vet di 
fiducia, piuttosto scettico su questo punto; il motivo e` che i 
principi attivi di questi prodotti "impediscono" alla pulce di 
"attaccarsi" all'animale ... ma i flebotomi agiscono in tutt'altro 
modo, rimanendo a contatto con l'animale per pochi secondi.
Pareri? Opinioni? (diversifichiamo :-))

Opinione ...
Tutte le indicazioni sul funzionamento e l' efficacia di quei prodotti vengono
fatte in base alle sostanze contenute (che hanno quello o quell' altro effetto
scientificamente provato), perciò si presume che ... solo che è sempre una
presunzione, ma non una prova scientifica.

 presunzione, ma non una prova scientifica.
No, purtroppo devo contraddirti, vengono anche effettuati esperimenti con
animali anestetizzati sottoposti alle *attenzioni* di flebotomi, da una
parte gli *sperimentali*, sottoposti a trattamento con l'antiparassitario
che si vuole testare, dall'altro i *controlli*, senza trattamento. Questi
esperimenti vengono ripetuti a intervalli variabili e sono volti a
dimostrare l'efficacia del prodotto come repellente nel tempo. Infatti,
durante l'esposizione ai flebotomi, vengono contati il numero di punture e/o
interazioni.

Title: The use of a 4%(w/w) deltamethrin collar (Scalibor (R) ProtectorBand)
in the extended control of ticks on dogs

Abstract: Deltamethrin (4%, w/w) formulated in a polymer matrix system
(Scalibor(R) ProtectorBand, Intervet International BV) was evaluated for the
prevention of ticks on dogs. Controlled laboratory trials were conducted,
wherein dogs wearing anti-tick collars were compared with control dogs and
artificially infested by adult Ixodes ricinus and/or Rhipicephalus
sanguineus ticks. The activity of the collars increased from 24 to 48 h
post-treatment (pt) wherein tick numbers were reduced to 78.7% for I.
ricinus and to 77% for R. sanguineus. The proportion of ticks controlled
after the second infestation on D7 pt increased to 99% for I. ricinus and
99.5% for R. sanguineus. For I. ricinus adult ticks, an efficacy of 95.4%
was reached over a period of 5.5 months and approximated 90% for R.
sanguineus. Hence, the efficacy of the deltamethrin-impregnated dog collar
was >90% for 6 months against both tick species. There was no significant
difference between the efficacy of the collar against either R. sanguineus
or I. ricinus. A subsequent field study wherein 82 dogs were wearing the
collar and monitored for tick infestation indicated that the duration of
efficacy was between 5 and 6 months.

Title: Canine visceral leishmaniasis: Infectious agent, infection, clinical
signs, diagnosis, therapy and prophylaxis - a review
Source: KLEINTIERPRAXIS, 46 (9): 533-+ SEP 2001
Document Type: Article
KeywordsPlus: GERMANY; INFANTUM; DOGS
Abstract: The severe systemic parasitic zoonosis canine visceral
leishmaniasis (CVL) became more and more important in Germany because of the
import of infected dogs and international tourism with dogs. This zoonotic
disease is transmitted by Phlebotomus ssp. (sandfly) and it is important to
know that recently Phlebotomus mascitii (a possible vector) has been
detected in the southern part of Germany. Clinical signs of this CVL varies
widely in consequence of the different pathogenic mechanisms. From a
clinical point of view, cutaneous, visceral and combined manifestation can
be distinguished. Most prominent are skin lesions such as alopecia, dry
exfoliative skin lesions with or without ulcers, weight loss, local or
generalized lymphadenopathy, ocular lesions, epistaxis or lameness. In case
of organ failure, e. g. renal insufficiency caused by immune complex
glomerulonephritis, the outcome of untreated animals is fatal. Treatment is
based on pentavalent antimonials, allopurinol as single agents or in
combination, aminosidine, pentamidine or Amphotericin B. Future drugs are
alkyl lysophospholipids (e. g. oleylphosphocholine or miltefosine) or
cytokines (IFN-gamma). In addition, vaccines are tried to be developed. So
far however, no prophylactic management exists providing complete protection
against leishmaniasis. Thus, dog owners should avoid travelling in endemic
areas with their pets. If this is impossible, prophylaxis can be done with
pentavalent antimonials or allopurinol, as well as protection against
sandfly bites e. g. with protector bands containing Deltamethrin
(Scalibor((R)), spot on with substances like Permethrin (Exspot((R)) or
spray containing Diethyltoluamid (Autan((R)). Furthermore, going for a walk
early in the morning or evening should be avoided.

Abstract: The results of a prospective study of therapy in 24 cases of
canine flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) are given. All the animals had FAD,
confirmed by a positive skin-test with a flea extract, and were treated with
spot-on permethrin solution (Ex-spot(R)), once a week for one month then
every other week during the two following months. An initial insecticidal
environmental treatment and regular treatment of the in-contact animals were
also done. The patients were followed-up for at least 3 months and at each
visit a lesion score was established. At the final evaluation at day 90, 21
(81 %) of the cases were controled (neither pruritus, no lesions), and 3 (13
%) were not. These findings demonstrate that this formulation of permethrin
is an effective therapy for FAD.

Certo che mi interessano, anche perché per i primi due non c' era l' abstract.
