  1. aNumber of sand flies exposed to direct-feed on dogs
  2. bNumber (%) of sand flies dead 24 h after direct-feeding
  3. cEfficacy as the percentage of phlebotomine mortality due to the insecticide effect calculated according to adapted Henderson-Tilton’s formula
  4. d(Two-sided) probability values associated with the comparison on sand fly mortality between control and fluralaner using Fisher’s exact test
  5. eAll samples showed 100% death so there is no 95% CI
