Learn about the study that demonstrated that Simparica blocked the transmission of Lyme and Anaplasmosis in treated dogs.

Listeners will learn about a published, peer-reviewed study designed to test tick protection by Simparica. In this study, Simparica- and placebo-treated dogs were infested with Ixodes scapularis (aka deer) ticks on day 21 and day 28 after treatment. These ticks were infected with Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum which was subsequently transmitted to control dogs, as evidenced by positive laboratory tests. Simparica-treated dogs, on the other hand, tested negative at all time points and with every test methodology. This demonstrates that Simparica kills tick quickly, and blocked transmission of these pathogens in these dogs.
