===Vector control===

[[Preventive medicine|Preventive medicine]] includes elimination of mechanical and biological vectors.  For instance the snake mite has been incriminated in the spread of viral diseases and ''[[Aeromonas hydrophila]]''.  Flies, ticks and ants are potential vectors for disease.  The eradication method must be effective against the vector but safe for snakes and lizards.  For instance the vapours from dichlorvos strips can be potentially toxic to reptiles.

Prophylactic treatments are especially important in [[Lizard and Snake Quarantine|quarantine]] but may be useful on a regular basis.  For snakes parasiticides are probably the most important.
