Use of inhibitors of the KQT1 channel for preparing a medicament for treating diseases caused by helminths and ectoparasites Inhibitors of the KQT1 channel are a novel way of destroying helminths and ectoparasites. For this reason, blockers of the cellular KQT1 channel, which is present in helminths and ectoparasites, are used for preparing a medicament for the treatment of vertebrates and humans infested by helminths or ectoparasites. These KQT1 blockers are used as medicaments on their own or in combination with other medicaments and therapeutic measures. Inhibitors of the KQT1 channel are likewise a novel mechanism of action for phytoparasites such as insects, arachnids, molluscs and nematodes, and consequently, they are used for preparing a crop protection composition.
