A 12-year-old intact male, Alaskan Malamute dog, which lives in the countryside, was presented with inflammation and pain around perineal areas. Thorough examination revealed maggots and punched-out round holes lesion around the perineal region. Complete blood counts (CBC) and serum biochemical examinations showed no remarkable findings except mild anemia and mild thrombocytosis. The diagnosis was easily done, based on clinical signs and maggots identification. Cleaning with chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine lavage and hair clipping away from the lesions were performed soon after presentation. SNAP 4Dx Test (IDEXX Laboratories, Westbrook, ME, USA) was performed to rule out other vector-borne diseases since the ticks were found on the clipped area and vector-borne pathogens. The test result was negative. The dog in this case was treated with ivermectin (300 mcg/kg SC) one time. Also, treatments with amoxicillin clavulanate (20 mg/kg PO, BID) was established to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Then, myiasis resolved with 2 weeks and the affected area was healed.

This experiment has been investigated in order to examine larval migration inhibition activity of ivermectin, doramectin and ethanol against Anisakis simplex (A. simplex) in vitro. A. simplex larvae were obtained from the mackerel acquired from the fish market of Cheongju. They were divided into many groups and placed in culture dishes (40 larvae each) containing RPMI-1640, in the absence or presence of different concentrations of ivermectin, doramectin and ethanol. Ivermectin had a complete inhibition of larval migration at 72 h in all groups ($10-300{\mu}g/ml$). Ethanol reduced the migration of the larvae, its maximum activity being an high doses (7.5%, 10% ethanol) when it was 100% efficacy at 4 h. Doramectin had no efficacy in vitro. Being needed that further studies with ivermectin and doramectin, it is recommended that in vivo test with laboratory animals should be carried.

This experiment has been investigated in order to examine the effect of ivermectin and doramectin for laval migratory inhibition in rats. Anisakis spp larvae were obtained from the mackerels in fish market in Cheongju. A total of 225 rats were classified with 3 groups with the same number ($3{\times}75$ rats); group I was control divided into 3 subgroups including 25 rats in each one, others (test groups) were treated subcutaneously with ivermectin and doramectin by 3 kinds of concentrations ($200{\mu}g/kg$, 400, 800), respectively. At 15 minutes after treating, 10 larvae were taken orally into each rat of 6 subgroups in test, and 5 rats were necropsied at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours after oral administration. The recovered larvae were used in larval migration inhibition (LMI). Ivermectin is significantly more effective than doramectin. In rats, the inhibitory effect of ivermectin and doramectin is slightly less than in vitro.
