Q

T/F: Pyrethrins are effective environmental insecticidal treatments.

A

F: rapidly inactivated by UV light

17
Q

What are pyrethrins derived from?

A

chrysanthemum flower oil extract; 6 active pyrethrins that are contact poisons and have fast knock down and flushing action on insects, no residual activity. toxic to bees and fish.

Neurotoxic to cats when combined with piperonyl but oxide (which forms a stable complex with Cytochrome P450 and limits metabolism by insects)

18
Q

Pyrethrin vs pyrethroid vs permethrin?

A

Pyrethrin = volatile oil extract of chrysanthemum flower; no cholinesterase suppression.

Pyrethroid = synthesized chemicals modeled after pyrethrin; comparable activity and toxicity to pyrethrin, but contains a synergist (d-trans-allethrin, deltamethrin, resmethrin, etc)

Permethrin = one of the most popular pyrethroid products, but toxic to cats, relatively more stable in UV light

19
Q

List products with repellant action:

A

pyrethrin, permethrin, citronella, DEET (diethyltoluamide), ethohexadiol, MGK-264, Avon Skin-so-soft fragrance, dimethyl phthalate, buttony-propylene glycol

20
Q

What is Rotenone?

A

natural organic compound derived from Derris root, similar to pyrethrins with low toxicity, rapid action, quick degradation, as a rinse or shampoo for dogs and cats

21
Q

What is the MOA of spinetoram?

A

alters nicotinic and GABA gated ion channels and excites insect nervous system –> paralysis and death

22
Q

Lime Sulfur is effective against which parasites?

A

sarcoptes, notoedres, chyletiella, chiggers, fur mites, lice - NOT FLEA REPELLANT

fungicidal, bactericidal, keratolytic, antipruritic

23
Q

What is the MOA of avermectins?

A

=macrocyclic lactones; potentiate release and effects of GABA, glutamate-gated chloride channel agonists

does not cross BBB to affect GABA in mammals (which is limited to CNS)

24
Q

What is the gene associated with altered p-glycoprotein (Pgp)?

A

MDR1 or ABCB1;

nt230 (del4) mutation is well known across herding breeds and their crosses; so ivermectin doses higher than 0.1 mg/kg result in neurologic signs

25
Q

List breeds that carry the ABCB1/MDR1 gene mutation:

A

collies, Aussies, shelties, silken windbound, longhaired whippet, GSD, border collie, OESD, English shepherd, McNab

26
Q

What is ivermectin derived from?

A

avermectin B, from fermentation products of Streptomyces avermitilis

27
Q

T/F: Ivermectin kills ticks

A

F; suppresses egg production and molting

28
Q

What is milbemycin derived from?

A

Streptomyces hygroscopicus

29
Q

What are the active ingredients in Trifexis?

A

milbemycin + spinosad

30
Q

What is moxidectin derived from?

What is it licensed for?

A

Streptomyces cyaneogriseus subs. noncyanogenus

activity against flea in US …but fleas, lice, ear mites, sarcoptes, demodex in EU

cattle: licensed for nematodes, hypoderma spp., mites, lice, horn flies

31
Q

What is doramectin licensed for?

A

treatment of nematodes, mites, lice in cattle, swine

32
Q

Where does selamectin distribute to?

A

semisynthetic avermectin;

sebaceous glands, hair folliculitis,es, basal layer of epithelium

safe in puppies and kittens at 6 wks

33
Q

What is the MOA of lufenuron?

A

oral IGR; benzylphenol urea compound that inhibits chitin syntehsis

34
Q

What is the MOA of nitenpyram?

A

neonicotinoid: nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to produce hyper excitability; effective in 3-4 hrs, eliminated in 48 hrs

35
Q

What is spinosad derived from?

A

soil-dwelling bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa; acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to produce hyperexcitabi;ity but does not interact with other nicotinic or GABA-ergic insecticides.

Pgp inhibitor - DO NOT USE WITH IVERMECTIN
