Fluralaner potently inhibits flea reproduction capacity in vitro. Oviposition ceases completely at concentrations as low as 25.0 ng/mL. While no ovicidal effect is observed, fluralaner exerts a larvicidal effect at exceptionally low concentrations (6.25 ng/mL).In the simulated flea-infested home environment, flea-control efficacy on fluralaner-treated dogs is >99% at every time point measured for 12 weeks. No adverse events are observed in fluralaner-treated dogs. Fluralaner completely controls egg laying, larval development and flea reproduction even at sub-insecticidal concentrations. Oral treatment of dogs with fluralaner is highly effective for eliminating fleas in a simulated flea-infested home environment. After single oral administration of Bravecto chewable tablets, mite numbers in skin scrapings are reduced by 99.8% on Day 28 and by 100% on Days 56 and 84. A marked decrease is observed in the occurrence of erythematous patches, crusts, casts and scales in the dogs treated with Bravectco. |
