Science - Zoology
German term or phrase: entsprechend
Behandelt wird einmal wöchentlich mit Shampoos, Halsbändern oder Tinkturen, die in den Nacken geträufelt werden. Da die Nissen von den Präparaten nicht erfasst werden, muss die Behandlung entsprechend des Vermehrungszyklus der Parasiten über vier Wochen erfolgen.

By the way can somebody kindly tell me whether the first sentece of the paragraph makes sense? :-)

TIA!

Explanation:
"treatment must be continued over a period of four weeks to take account of the parasites' reproductive cycle"
I think we're all agreed on the basic meaning, but this is how I would put it. (And I have kids at primary school so I read a lot of headlice shampoo instructions!)

agree  John Speese: Yes to all of the above, I have my own version too, but I think we've all got the basic meaning...as an entomologist, let me add that there are very few, if any, insecticides that kill eggs. Some claim to, but I don't know how effective they really are.
