Ticks of the genus Otodectes are often found in domestic animals. This disease has an all-season character in urban conditions. Since the transmission of the tick occurs by contact with an animal infected with otodectosis, it was recom-mended to exclude contact with strays and animals that have characteristic clinical signs in order to prevent the spread of this disease. Timely diagnosis and adequate therapy make it possible to identify and suppress the further development of this tick in animals in a short time. This paper presents the results of a study on the diagnosis and treatment of otodectosis in cats in the city of Irkutsk.
