Plain-English summary
A group of 70 dogs with symptoms of nasal mite infection, such as sneezing and nasal discharge, were treated with a medication called milbemycin oxime. This treatment was given once a week for three weeks, and it was effective in clearing the infection. One month after starting the treatment, 68 of the dogs showed no more signs of nasal mites. This suggests that milbemycin oxime is a successful option for treating nasal mite infections in dogs.

Abstract
A multicentric clinical trial was done to evaluate the clinical efficacy of milbemycin oxime in the treatment of nasal mite (Pneumonyssoides caninum) infection in dogs. Milbemycin oxime was given to 70 dogs of different breeds, genders, and ages, with clinical signs associated with nasal mite infection. Twenty-five dogs had a verified infection, and 45 dogs had signs suggestive of nasal mite infection. Milbemycin oxime was given at the dosage of 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg body weight orally once a week for three consecutive weeks. One month after initiation of treatment, 68 of the dogs had no more clinical signs associated with nasal mite infection.
