“…The efficacies of pyrethroids, especially permethrin and deltamethrin, were over ten times those of the OP compounds studied. Similarly, amitraz, in agreement with the reported high miticidal activity (Palmer et al, 1971), was more toxic than the OP compounds. Unfortunately a standard susceptible strain was not available; however, the Habry strain can serve as a representative sample of a wild population.…”

“…Amitraz, whose acaricidal properties were first described in 1971 [1], is a non-systemic acaricide and insecticide, used as an animal ectoparasiticide. This pesticide is used on a large scale in Brazilian cattle breeding, especially as a bovine acaricide [2]; such infestation causes an annual financial damage of around a billion dollars to the Brazilian economy [3].…”

“…Amitraz was originally developed and marketed outside the U.S.A. as an acaricide and insecticide for cattle, sheep, hogs and fruit crops (Harrison et al, 1 9 7 3 ; Palmer et al, 1971; Walters, 1 9 7 6 ; Weighton & Osborne, 1973). We initially evaluated amitraz (liquid concentrate) for activity against experimentally derived scabies (Folz et al, 1978).…”

Forty dogs (20 treated, 20 controls) were utilized to evaluate a new treatment for naturally acquired canine scabies. A liquid concentrate formulation of amitraz was diluted and applied as a sponge-on therapy. Ninety-four percent of the dogs treated with the scabicide were cleared of mites and returned to clinical normality with a single topical treatment; one dog was retreated, cleared of mites and was also returned to normality. All dogs treated with the miticide responded clinically, therefore the treatment also may be useful when trial therapy is necessary to differentially diagnose the disease. The miticide was well tolerated by all dogs, and there was no evidence of dermal or ocular irritation. Topical treatment with the liquid concentrate was efficacious and safe as a therapy for naturally acquired canine scabies. Placebo controls did not improve clinically and these animals retained their mite populations.
