Clinical Study of a Permethrin Formulation for Direct or Indirect Use in Control of Ticks on Tortoises, Snakes and Lizards Michael J. Burridge, BVMS, MPVM, PhD, Leigh-Anne Simmons, BS, Christian C. Hofer
Department of Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA The clinical effects of application of a permethrin acaricidal formulation, Provent-a-mite, were studied on three species of reptiles by direct application to African spurred tortoises, Geochelone sulcata, and by application to the bedding of rosy boas, Lichanura trivirgata, and green iguanas, Iguana iguana, using on each occasion ten times the recommended dosage every fifth day for a total of six applications. No evidence of toxic reactions related to treatment with the permethrin formulation was found in any of the three species of reptiles treated, suggesting that Provent-a-mite is a safe product to use as an acaricide for control of ticks on other species of tortoises, snakes and lizards.
