Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contained a mistake. Table 2 (table 1 here) was incorrect as it inadvertently included a duplication of data presented in Table 1. Table 2 has been corrected in the original article and is included correctly below.

Table 1.

112 dogs were used in this study. The 6 dogs in each control group received no treatment. The 6 dogs in the fluralaner group were administered an oral chewable tablet once on Day 0

2Each dog was infested with approximately 200 adult Ctenocephalides felis felis from the KS1 strain on days—2, 7, 28, 56, 84, 91, 105, 112 and 120 post-treatment, flea eggs were collected 48 h post-treatment or post-infestation during a 3-h collection period

3Geometric mean # of eggs recovered from dogs per treatment group

4% control = ((geometric mean count control -geometric mean count treatment)/ geometric mean count treatment)) x 100

ageometric mean of treatment group was significantly different from control (P ≤0.001)
