摘要
Esafoxolaner is a purified enantiomer of afoxolaner with insecticidal and acaricidal properties. It is combined with eprinomectin and praziquantel in a novel topical endectoparasiticide formulation for cats. The efficacy of this novel formulation was evaluated in three Ixodes ricinus and two Ixodes scapularis experimental studies, with comparable designs. In each study, cats were randomly allocated, based on a pre-treatment tick infestation and count, to a placebo control group or a group treated with the minimum recommended dose of the novel formulation. Cats were infested two days before treatment and weekly thereafter. Immediate efficacy was evaluated 48 h after treatment; persistent efficacy was evaluated 48 h after new weekly infestations for at least one month after the treatment (in one of the studies, the first two weeks of persistent efficacy against I. ricinus were not tested). Efficacy was calculated at each timepoint by comparison of arithmetic means of live ticks found in the control and the treated groups. In the three studies targeting I. ricinus, immediate and persistent efficacies ranged between 91% and 100% for five weeks. In the two studies targeting I. scapularis, immediate and persistent efficacies ranged between 95% and 100%, and 98% and 100% for one month, respectively. These studies provide robust evidence of efficacy of the novel topical formulation of esafoxolaner, eprinomectin and praziquantel against experimental I. ricinus and I. scapularis infestations for at least one month in cats. L'esafoxolaner est un enantiomere purifie de l'afoxolaner aux proprietes insecticides et acaricides. Il est associe a l'eprinomectine et au praziquantel dans une nouvelle formulation d'endectoparasiticide topique pour chats. L'efficacite de cette nouvelle formulation a ete evaluee dans trois etudes experimentales sur Ixodes ricinus et deux sur Ixodes scapularis, avec des conceptions comparables. Dans chaque etude, les chats ont ete repartis au hasard, sur la base d'une infestation et d'un nombre de tiques avant le traitement, dans un groupe temoin placebo ou dans un groupe traite avec la dose minimale recommandee de la nouvelle formulation. Les chats ont ete infestes deux jours avant le traitement et une fois par semaine par la suite. L'efficacite immediate a ete evaluee 48 heures apres le traitement et l'efficacite persistante a ete evaluee 48 heures apres les nouvelles infestations hebdomadaires pendant au moins un mois apres le traitement (dans l'une des etudes, les deux premieres semaines d'efficacite persistante contre I. ricinus n'ont pas ete testees). L'efficacite a ete calculee a chaque temps d'evaluation par comparaison des moyennes arithmetiques des tiques vivantes trouvees dans les groupes temoins et traites. Dans les trois etudes ciblant I. ricinus, les efficacites immediates et persistantes variaient entre 91 % et 100 % pendant cinq semaines. Dans les deux etudes ciblant I. scapularis, les efficacites immediates et persistantes variaient respectivement entre 95 % et 100 % et 98 % et 100 % pendant un mois. Ces etudes fournissent des preuves solides de l'efficacite de la nouvelle formulation topique d'esafoxolaner, d'eprinomectine et de praziquantel contre les infestations experimentales par I. ricinus et I. scapularis pendant au moins un mois chez le chat.
