Through its repellent and knock-down action on the tick vector Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the product reduces the likelihood of transmission of the pathogen Erlichia canis, thereby reducing the risk of canine ehrlichiosis.
Risk reduction has been demonstrated in studies starting on day 3 after product application and persisting for 4 weeks.
It is possible that ticks already on the dog may not be killed within two days after treatment and remain attached and visible.
Therefore, re motion of ticks already on the dog at the time of treatment is recommended , in order to prevent them from attaching and consuming a blood meal.
One treatment provides repellent (anti-feeding) activity against phlebotomus ( Phlebotomus papatasi for two weeks and Phlebotomus perniciosus for three weeks), mosquitoes ( Aedes aegypti for two weeks and Culex pipiens for four weeks) and horse flies ( Stomoxys calcitrans) for four weeks.
Reduction of the risk of Leishmania infantum infection by phlebotomus transmission ( Phlebotomus perniciosus) up to 3 weeks.
The effect is indirect determined by the product’s activity against the carrier.
