摘要
The objective of this experimental study was to assess the insecticidal efficacy of afoxolaner (NexGard((R))) against bedbugs (Cimex lectularius) on dogs. For each challenge, 20 bedbugs were placed in two chambers positioned in contact to the dog's skin for 15 min, after which live fed parasites were counted and incubated for survival evaluations. On Day 0, 7 dogs assigned to the treated group were administered afoxolaner orally at the registered dose. All 14 dogs were challenged on Days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28, and the collected live fed C. lectularius incubated for 72 h (Day 1), and 72 h and 96 h (Days 7, 14, 21 and 28) for survival evaluation. The percent feeding in the control group ranged from 95% to 98.6% and the percent of live fed bedbugs at 96 h ranged from 99.3% to 100% in the control group, demonstrating the viability of the strain and their capacity to feed on dogs. Significantly fewer live fed bedbugs were counted in the treated group, compared to the control group, at all time-points. The reduction of live fed C. lectularius in the afoxolaner group was 41.4% at 72 h after the Day 1 challenge, and 77.2%, 82.7%, 85.0% and 63.5% at 96 h after the Days 7, 14, 21 and 28 challenges, respectively. It is hypothesized that monthly treatment of dogs with afoxolaner could help in preventing a bed bug population from installing in a household if bedbugs bite dogs in the presence of humans. L'objectif de cette etude experimentale etait de determiner l'efficacite insecticide de l'afoxolaner (NexGard((R))) contre les punaises de lit (Cimex lectularius) chez les chiens. Pour chaque exposition, 20 punaises de lit ont ete mises dans deux chambres placees en contact avec la peau des chiens pendant 15 minutes. Apres cela, les parasites vivants et gorges ont ete comptes et incubes pour evaluer leur survie. Le jour 0, 7 chiens affectes au groupe traite ont recu de l'afoxolaner (NexGard) par voie orale a la dose commerciale. Les 14 chiens ont ete exposes aux punaises aux jours 1, 7, 14, 21 et 28, et les C. lectularius vivants et gorges, collectes, ont ete incubes pendant 72 h (jour 1) et 72 et 96 h (jours 7, 14, 21 et 28) pour l'evaluation de la survie. Le pourcentage d'engorgement dans le groupe temoin variait de 95 % a 98,6 % et le pourcentage de ces punaises vivantes a 96 h variait de 99,3 a 100 %, demontrant la viabilite de la souche et la capacite a se nourrir des chiens. Le nombre de punaises vivantes etait significativement plus faible dans le groupe traite, par rapport au groupe temoin, a chaque point de controle. La reduction de C. lectularius vivants dans le groupe afoxolaner etait de 41,4 % a 72 h apres l'exposition du jour 1, et respectivement de 77,2 %, 82,7 %, 85,0 %, et 63,5 % a 96 h apres les expositions des jours 7, 14, 21, et 28. On peut donc faire l'hypothese que le traitement mensuel des chiens avec de l'afoxolaner pourrait empecher une population de punaises de lit de s'installer dans un foyer, si les punaises piquent les chiens en presence d'humains.
