Sumario:The efficacy of Tissue Tolerable Plasma (TTP) against ticks was tested, as data from the literature has demonstrated its efficacy against other acari. The study was carried out by using the KINPen09 (Argon as carrier gas) on Ixodes ricinus (n=24). Treatment times of 1 and 3 minutes led to a reversible inactivation of the ticks. After 5 min of treatment, they died. Thanks to the acaricidal effect of TPP, a new treatment strategy using the KINPen09 for tick-infested pets is now available.
