Some ectoparasites are vectors of illness-causing bacteria and viruses, and these are treated with antibiotic and antiviral drugs, which eventually contribute to the excessive use of antimicrobials. Therefore, the control of ectoparasites is crucial, and the challenge will be to manage them in a sustainable way. Data from a preliminary ethnobotanical survey was reanalyzed to obtain information on the use of various plant species in companion animals and livestock as ectoparasiticides. The survey responses were reviewed for traditional use of plants as ectoparasiticides, and cross-sectional bibliographic research was undertaken. The following plants were selected among the nine mentioned plants: , and , which have the most potential to be developed as veterinary ectoparasiticides. Moreover, the absence of published data for and suggests that their traditional use as ectoparasiticides is noted here for the first time. In summary, these plants could give promising plant-derived veterinary ectoparasiticides that, ultimately, will help reduce and even avoid the excessive use of antimicrobials.
一些体外寄生虫是致病细菌和病毒的传播媒介，而这些会用抗生素和抗病毒药物进行治疗，这最终导致了抗菌药物的过度使用。因此，控制体外寄生虫至关重要，而挑战将是以可持续的方式对其进行管理。对一项初步民族植物学调查的数据进行了重新分析，以获取有关各种植物物种在伴侣动物和家畜中作为杀体外寄生虫剂使用的信息。对调查回复进行了审查，以了解植物作为杀体外寄生虫剂的传统用途，并开展了横断面文献研究。在提及的九种植物中选出了以下几种植物： 、 和 ，它们最有潜力被开发为兽用杀体外寄生虫剂。此外， 和 没有已发表的数据，这表明它们作为杀体外寄生虫剂的传统用途在此首次被提及。总之，这些植物有望提供源自植物的兽用杀体外寄生虫剂，最终将有助于减少甚至避免抗菌药物的过度使用。
