“…Fipronil, according to Bonmatin et al (2015) , causes blocking of the GABA-dependent receptors of ectoparasites, impairing the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites. Diflubenzuron, as reported by Sankar and Kumar (2021) , acts by inhibiting the synthesis of chitin in parasites and disrupting the molting, egg-laying, and hatchery process, which leads to an end to the replenishment of the population. Dicarboximide is a synergist and is used with insecticides to increase their activity.…”

Background: External parasites contribute to extensive harmful impacts on their hosts which is why control and eradication of external parasites have been included in all biosecurity plans of dog houses. Aim: To evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo effectiveness of chemicals like Doramectin injectable and Fipronil 50 mg/ml drops and herbal mixes eco-friendly insecticides like phenylpyrazole–garlic–camphor mix spray for combating the external parasitism in dogs and their influence on the hematological, biochemical, and cortisol (CORT) profiles. Method: The in-vitro effectiveness of the insecticides was conducted by using a total of 216 developmental stage Rhipicephalus sanguineus (72 adults, 72 larvae, and 72 eggs) designed into three replicates of petri dishes (3 plates × 8 units × 3 stages/replicate); each replicate was exposed to 1 ml insecticide. The number of surviving ticks was recorded after 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours. Sixteen Rottweiler male dogs aged 1 year and 45.5 kg were divided into four groups. Three groups (G1, G2, and G3) were experimentally infested with R. sanguineus ticks 3–4 weeks post-dog arrival and kept under observation from zero-time of experimental infestation for 1–2 weeks. The three experimentally infested dog groups were treated with Doramectin injectable, Fipronil 50 mg/ml drops, and phenylpyrazole–garlic–camphor mix spray, respectively, and the fourth group was designed as a negative control. A total of 144 samples, including 48 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood, 48 whole blood, and 48 sera samples, were collected. Results: The in-vitro efficacy revealed highly significant ( p < 0.01) 100% killing efficacy that was achieved after 8 hours in Doramectin and Fipronil 50 mg/ml and 24 hours in phenylpyrazole–garlic–camphor mix. The in-vivo trials revealed highly significant ( p < 0.01) improvements of red blood cells, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentrations, platelets, total and differential leukocytic counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rates in the second hour, total protein, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, urea, glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and CORT levels in the 2-week (P 1 ) and 4-week posttreatment (P 2 ) samples in Dormectin, Fipronil 50 mg/ml, and phenylpyrazole–garlic–camphor mix-treated dogs with more pronounced recovery in phenylpyrazole–garlic–camphor mix spray-treated dogs. Conclusion: The insecticides were able to provide a high level of protection against experimental infestation with concern to the different modes of application. Phenylpyrazole–garlic–camphor mix spray (eco-friendly) achieved higher insecticidal act...

“…Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) is a broadly distributed mosquito in Egypt (Ammar et al, 2012) acting as the primary vector of filariasis, Wuchereria bancrofti, besides the Rift Valley Fever virus (Gad et al, 1999;Abdel-Shafi et al, 2016;Onen et al, 2023). The prevalence and dispersal of diseases related to mosquitoes are mainly altered by some elements regulating mosquito biological parameters, such as growth, behavior, and survival (Sankar & Kumar, 2023). Chemical control is mainly used to control mosquito vectors.…”

“…According to their mode of action, IGRs could be classified into two main classes: Juvenile Hormone Analogs (JH) plus Chitin Synthesis Inhibitors (CSI) affecting the chitin synthesis via targeting specific enzymes and inhibiting the biosynthetic activity interfering with the cuticle formation. CSI includes the benzoyl phenyl urea (benzoylurea) class including lufenuron, diflubenzuron, and novaluron (Khater, 2012a;Sankar & Kumar, 2023). Diflubenzuron is widely utilized for mosquito management in public health programs (Gaaboub et al, 2017).…”

Culex pipiens is an important vector in Egypt. The tolerance levels of insect growth regulators (IGRs) on 4 th instar larvae of Cx. pipiens collected from the Faqous region, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, and their biochemical characterization were determined. The data indicated that LC 50 values post-treatment (PT) of the field strain with diflubenzuron, novaluron, and lufenuron were 0.08, 0.60, and 0.16 μg/ml, respectively. Whereas the corresponding values for the laboratory strain were 0.07, 0.16, and 0.02 μg/ml, respectively. The relative tolerances of the field strain reached 1.14 (low), 3.75 (medium), and 8.00 (high) folds, respectively, when compared to the laboratory strain. The total protein levels in larvae treated with diflubenzuron, novaluron, and lufenuron and those of laboratory strain were 17.00, 20.00, 27.33, and 13.33 mg/g b.wt, respectively, whereas such values for the target enzyme of acetylcholine esterase,
