The physiological cost of male-biased parasitism in a nearly monomorphic mammal.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fluralaner is a novel systemic ectoparasiticide for dogs and cats providing immediate and persistent flea- and tick-control after a single topical dose. Prescribing directions recommend waiting 72 h following topical administration before immersing dogs in water. The objective of this study was to determine ...
