Essential insights

• Inhibition of GABA- and glutamate-gated ion channels:
  Fluralaner works by inhibiting the function of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate-gated ion channels in the nervous system of insects and arachnids.
• Neurological dysfunction in parasites:
  By blocking these channels, fluralaner causes hyperexcitability in the parasites' nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
• Selective toxicity:
  Fluralaner is selectively toxic to parasites, as their nervous systems are more sensitive to the substance than the host animal's system.
