With the advent of imidacloprid and fipronil spot-on treatments and the oral ingestion of lufenuron, the strategies and methods to control cat fleas dramatically changed during the last 25 years. New innovations and new chemistries have highlighted this progress. Control strategies are no longer based on the tripartite approach of treating the pet, the indoor environment, and outdoors. The ability of modern therapies to break the cat flea life cycle and prevent reproduction has allowed for the stand-alone treatments that are applied or given to the pet. In doing so, we have not only controlled the cat flea, but we have prevented or reduced the impact of many of the diseases associated with ectoparasites and endoparasites of cats and dogs. This review provides an update of newer and non-conventional approaches to control cat fleas.

控制猫蚤的最新进展

随着吡虫啉和氟虫腈现场治疗的出现以及口服芬太尼的出现，控制猫蚤的策略和方法在过去25年中发生了巨大变化。新的创新和新的化学方法突出了这一进展。控制策略不再基于对待宠物，室内环境和室外的三方方法。现代疗法能够打破猫跳蚤的生命周期并防止繁殖，因此可以对宠物进行独立治疗。这样做，我们不仅控制了猫跳蚤，而且还预防或减少了与猫和狗的外寄生物和内寄生物有关的许多疾病的影响。这篇综述提供了更新的和非常规的方法来控制猫蚤。
