"Isoxazolines are the only class indicated to treat sarcoptic mange - a highly contagious dermatologic parasite in dogs. Prior to oral isoxazolines like Simparica, veterinarians were primarily dispensing topical ectoparasite products, which are less appealing to many dog owners. Now they have more flexible options for safe, monthly flea and tick protection."Dr Kausche said the success of collars, such as Bayer's Seresto, "proved there is room for long-acting external antiparasitics in the companion animal space".Klaus Hellman, who is managing director and founder of contract research organization Klifovet,said: "The success of Seresto is rather surprising, as collars had been thought to be old fashioned and dead."
