Abstract
This 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. The principles of ectoparasite control and ectoparasiticide use have been emphasized so that the reader can apply these using locally available ectoparasiticides. It should be emphasized that all insecticides should be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and disposed of in an appropriate manner.
