Ectoparasites infestations are a growing concern to horse owners and equine veterinarians alike. Ectoparasites cause significant health and welfare issues and can potentially can serve as vectors for a variety of pathogens. The prevalence of ectoparasites increases around the world, and especially in horses information on the successful prevention and treatment of ectoparasite infestations in scarce and in many instances anecdotal. This poses a challenge to the equine veterinarian and off‐label use of drugs can lead to detrimental effects in horses. In this review we describe the current available evidence for the prevention and treatment of ectoparasite infestations in horses. Only a very limited number of products is approved for the use in horses and fortunately many of the other products that are used in an off‐label manner appear to be safe in horses. Future research in this area should aim at providing PK/PD modelling data to assure appropriate and safe dose regimen to prevent and treat ectoparasite infestations in horses.

对设备中体外寄生虫侵扰的治疗和控制的综述。

寄生虫的侵害是马主和马兽医越来越关注的问题。寄生虫会引起严重的健康和福利问题，并有可能作为多种病原体的媒介。外寄生虫的流行在世界范围内不断增加，尤其是在马匹方面，成功地预防和治疗了在稀少的和许多情况下外寄生虫侵扰的信息。这对马兽医业构成了挑战，超标使用药物可能对马产生不利影响。在这篇综述中，我们描述了预防和治疗马体内寄生虫感染的现有证据。仅批准了极少数产品可用于马匹中，幸运的是，许多以标签外方式使用的其他产品似乎在马匹中是安全的。该领域的未来研究应旨在提供PK / PD模型数据，以确保适当和安全的剂量方案来预防和治疗马的体外寄生虫侵扰。
