Amitraz: pharmacological and toxicological aspects in animals

Abstract: Infestations by ectoparasites are one of the greatest problems in the veterinary practice, due to a large drop in performance in cattle herds and other farm animals, generating great economical losses; for pets, besides the low quality of life and disruption of homeostasis, ectoparasites represent a risk for transmission of zoonotic diseases. The formamidines emerge as a very large group of ectoparasiticides, which its main representative, amitraz, is the only one approved for animal use. Amitraz is indicated … Show more

“…For decades, in many countries, the gold-standard treatment for demodicidosis has consisted of the application of an aqueous dilution of amitraz, a product of the formamidine group (Adams, 2003). Despite its variable efficacy (Arsenović et al, 2015), it has been responsible for numerous cases of intoxication (Gortel, 2006;Barretto et al, 2017). The acaricidal activity of amitraz is based on disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses, because it is an antagonist at the octopamine receptor level (Hugnet et al, 1996;Rhodes, 2004).…”
