Abstract: A method of treating a subject having a disease caused by a pathogen, preferably an acid-labile pathogen, said method comprising the step of applying to the subject a therapeutically effect amount of a topical composition having biocidal properties or both pain-relieving and biocidal properties. The composition can be used to treat or control bacterial, viral, fungal or infestational pathogens, and related diseases. The disease can be foot and mouth disease (FMD) or scabby mouth (orf), caused by an acid-labile virus. The topical composition can be used to treat hoof rot/footrot/foot abscess and viral lesions.

Abstract: This invention concerns a synergistic combination of a topical anesthetic and wound barrier forming agent capable of providing extended analgesia of ‘significant open wounds’ (that being, for example, a laceration, surgical incision, abrasion, ulcer or burn, but not being a minor cut, scratch, sting, burn or abrasion) in which conventional management alternatives (such as suturing and/or administration of injected or systemic analgesia) are impractical, unaffordable or otherwise unavailable.

Abstract: A method for providing anesthesia to a subject having a wound, such as a laceration, a surgical incision, an ulcer, an abrasion or a burn, said method comprising the step of applying topically to the wound a composition comprising: at least one local anesthetic agent; a hydrophilic or hydroalcoholic gelling agent; an antiseptic agent; a vasoconstrictor; and a detectable marker such as a food dye, wherein when the composition is topically applied to the wound of the subject the presence of the anesthetic agent on the subject is indicated by the detectable marker. The method has been developed primarily for anaesthetizing open wounds of animals, particularly those caused by husbandry procedures.
