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
