| Summary: | This study is on the acaricidal effect of clove, Syzygium aromaticum and lemongrass, Cymbopogon citratus
to control ear mites, Otodectes cynotis infestation on stray cats. Otodectes cynotis are most common of
ectoparasites for cats and can be also found on dogs, rabbits and ferrets. It is most commonly found in the
ear canal, but it can also survive on the skin's surface. Due to the tropical environment in Malaysia, the
mites are easy to spread and reproduce. Thus, the objectives of this study were to compare the number of
ear mites, O. cynotis in cats’ ears before and after using the clove and lemongrass solution and to determine
the effectiveness of clove, S. aromaticum and lemongrass, C. citratus to kill ear mites in cats’ ears. In this
experiment, a mixture of 80 g of clove and 80 g of lemongrass and 80 ml of virgin coconut oil were used by
dropping the solution into the cat’s ear canal. The acaricidal effect of clove and lemongrass were effective
against the ear mites due to reduce the number of O. cynotis in the cat’s ear before and after the treatment. |
