FDA批准用Credelio CAT治疗猫类新世界螺旋虫, FDA approves Credelio CAT for treating New World screwworm in cats, first such authorization for felines.

林业发展局为Credelio CAT(Elanco United States Inc.的药物)颁发了紧急使用许可,以治疗猫猫和小猫用新世界螺丝虫,这是首次对猫的此类批准。 The FDA has granted an Emergency Use Authorization for Credelio CAT, a drug by Elanco US Inc., to treat cats and kittens with New World screwworm, marking the first such approval for felines. 由于潜在的副作用,只开处方的治疗需要兽医监督。 The prescription-only treatment requires veterinary oversight due to potential side effects. 虽然大多数美国猫的风险较低,但靠近美国-墨西哥边境的户外猫或前往受影响地区的猫面临较高风险。 While most U.S. cats are at low risk, outdoor cats near the U.S.-Mexico border or those traveling to affected areas face higher exposure. 此前对狗和幼犬的EUA进一步扩大了FDA对寄生虫威胁的应对范围。 This follows a prior EUA for dogs and puppies, expanding the FDA’s response to the parasitic threat.
