Spinosad is a potent insecticide for crop pathogens and ectoparasite control on animals.
The spinosyns have a unique mechanism of action involving disruption of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Spinosad is a pediculicide mixture of spinosyn A and spinosyn D used in the topical treatment
of head lice in children (four years old and older) and in adults.
Spinosad is an insecticide based on a compound found in S. spinosa, a bacterial species.
Spinosad has also been experimented for use in cats for treatment of flea infestations,
and has also been experimented for use against the KS1 Ctenocephalides felis flea strain infesting dogs,
in addition to many investigations for use in other animals and agricultural plants.
