Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of three different isoxazoline-containing acaricides (sarolaner, afoxolaner, and lotilaner) in killing the tick Amblyomma americanum, with a focus on how quickly they work after being administered to beagle dogs.
- Lotilaner showed a significant speed of kill within 12 hours of infestation, outperforming both sarolaner and afoxolaner at various time points through the study.
- Over time, the efficacy of sarolaner and afoxolaner decreased, while lotilaner maintained higher effectiveness levels, suggesting it is the most reliable option among the three for reducing tick infestations.
