A recent study published in Parasites & Vectors demonstrates that Credelio, an Elanco Animal Health product, outperforms competitors in tick protection for dogs. The study compared Credelio (lotilaner) with Simparica TRIO (sarolaner, moxidectin, pyrantel) and NexGard (afoxolaner) against the aggressive lone star tick. Key findings include:
1. Credelio kills ticks 2x faster than competitors, achieving significant tick reduction within 12 hours.
2. Credelio maintains rapid tick-killing efficacy throughout the entire month-long treatment period.
3. Only Credelio showed significant tick reduction compared to the untreated control group at all 12-hour evaluation intervals.
This study is particularly relevant as the CDC reported over 45,000 human cases of tickborne diseases from 2019-2022. Credelio's superior performance in rapidly killing ticks could help reduce the risk of pathogen transmission to both pets and humans.
