| Popis: | The aim of this study was to report the efficacy of nitempiram against Cochiliomiyia hominivorax larvae in ocular myiasis in a naturally infested dog. A female Beagle dog with occular miyasis was attended. After care and clinical examination, was found involvement of the entire ocular and periocular region. The animal was treated with nitenpyram, with a dose of 4,7 mg/kg, orally, jointly with analgesic medication. The expulsion and fall of live and dead larvae were evaluated, which were quantified every 15 minutes in the first hour and thereafter at 2, 3, 4, 6, 18 hours after treatment and subsequent manual removal of the larvae. Overall effectiveness was calculated, the larval expulsion rate and the larvicidal effect of nitenpyram. In full there were 140 larvae in the lesion, from which 90 live larvae were expelled, 46 dead larvae and 4 dead larvae mechanically removed, presenting 100% overall effectiveness, with larval expulsion activity of 97.1% and larvicidal efficacy of 35.7%. Based on the results obtained in this case, it can be concluded that nitenpyram has a fast-acting and safe action under C. hominivorax larvae, proving be a pleasant alternative therapeutic alternative for the elimination of myiasis in orbital cavity of dogs. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a eficácia do nitempiram frente a larvas de Cochiliomiyia hominivorax em miíase ocular em um cão naturalmente infestado. Foi atendido um cão, fêmea, adulto da raça Beagle que apresentava o quadro de miíase ocular. Após o atendimento e exame físico, foi constatado acometimento de toda a região ocular e periocular. O animal foi tratado com nitempiram, recebendo a dose de 4,7 mg/kg por via oral, juntamente com medicação analgésica. Foram avaliadas a expulsão e queda das larvas vivas e mortas, as quais foram quantificadas a cada 15 minutos na primeira hora e depois nos intervalos de 2, 3, 4, 6, 18 horas pós-tratamento e posterior remoção manual das larvas. Foram calculadas a eficácia global, a taxa de expulsão larval e o efeito larvicida do nitempiram. No total existiam na lesão 140 larvas das quais foram expelidas 90 larvas vivas, 46 larvas mortas e removidas mecanicamente 4 larvas mortas, apresentando uma eficácia global de 100%, com atividade de expulsão larval de 97,1% e eficácia larvicida de 35,7%. Com base nos resultados obtidos neste caso, é possível concluir que o nitempiram tem uma ação rápida e segura sob larvas de C. hominivorax, se mostrando uma boa alternativa terapêutica para a eliminação de miíases em cavidade orbital de cães. |
