摘要

The invention discloses a novel method of making systemic anti-parasitic agents more effective through prior treatment of host animals with appropriate antigens. It involves immunization of animals with antigenic preparations derived fron the gut of the target ectoparasite followed by administration of the animal with systemic anti-parasitic agent.
