Methods of evaluation of efficacy of insecticides, acaricides, regulators of development and repellents against ectoparasites of carnivores

The purpose of the research: to characterize the modern methods of determining the effectiveness of insecticides, acaricides, regulators of development and repellents against ectoparasites of carnivores. Materials and methods. The analysis of the literature date and the results of our research to evaluate the effectiveness of insecticides, acaricides, regulators of development and repellents against ectoparasites of carnivores. Results and discussion. Details describes modern methods for determining the effectiveness of insecticides, acaricides, repellents and regulators of development against ectoparasites of carnivores as well as in conditions in vitro. The methods of determining the insecticidal and acaricidal properties of the active compounds (substances) by forced contact of insects and mites with surface treated topically applying acaricides, rate determination occurrence state knockdown and lift height of mites on treated material, accounting sucking ticks velocity contacted with test substances. The repellent activity of substances with respect to ixodid mites is studied by the method of cut off concentration, the concentration gradient method, etc.
