Tick management in the pharmacy ; Prise en charge des tiques à l'officine

Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites of almost all vertebrates, including our pets, but also humans, who are accidental hosts. During their blood meal, they can transmit pathogens responsible for infectious diseases, which specifically can affect humans. It is therefore in the public health interest to treat our pets. The first part of this work presents these parasites from a morphological and reproductive point of view, as well as their interactions with their environment. In- depth knowledge of ticks means we can better control them and prevent the spread of pathogenic vectors. The second part outlines the therapeutic arsenal available to pharmacists for treating pets, detailing galenic forms, the different therapeutic families and their component molecules. An exhaustive list of veterinary drugs authorized in France for curative or preventive tick control is then compiled, broken down by molecule and galenic form. The final section highlights the pharmacist's role as a public health actor in terms of prevention and advice. In recent years, new tools have been made available to pharmacists to help them fight more effectively against the mites frequently encountered in our region. ; Les tiques sont des ectoparasites hématophages de la quasi-totalité des vertébrés dont nos animaux de compagnie mais également l’homme qui est un hôte accidentel. Lors de leur repas sanguin, elles peuvent transmettre des agents pathogènes responsables de maladies infectieuses, pouvant notamment toucher l’homme.

La première partie de ce travail présente ces parasites d’un point de vue morphologique et reproductif ainsi que leurs interactions avec leur environnement. Les connaissances approfondies sur les tiques permettent de mieux lutter contre ces dernières et d’éviter la propagation de vecteurs pathogènes. La deuxième partie expose l’arsenal thérapeutique mis à disposition du pharmacien pour traiter les animaux de compagnies en détaillant les formes ...
