Scalibor - 3 Month Paralysis Tick Collar for Dogs
The paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) is the most dangerous tick species infesting domestic animals, producing a potentially fatal ascending flaccid paralysis. Found in eastern Australia, paralysis ticks cause serious morbidity and mortality in thousands of domestic animals each year, particularly dogs, most commonly in the warmer months when there is an abundance of adult female ticks.
Control of paralysis tick infestations for dogs in affected areas is best achieved by using a product that is not only efficacious, but also provides the longest duration of activity to improve convenience and compliance for dog owners.
Scalibor tick collars are a major advance in the control of paralysis ticks as a single collar provides control for up to 14 weeks, providing Australian dog owners with a convenient, long term treatment option for the control of paralysis tick infestations.

How Scalibor Tick Control works
The progressive release of deltamethrin from the collar is facilitated by a unique carrier process. Once the deltamethrin is removed from the outer surface of the collar, it is immediately replaced. Deltamethrin (DTM) is highly attracted to the excipient, triphenyl phosphate (TPP). Together they form a complex, DTM + TPP, which saturates the polymer matrix of Scalibor® and results in a regular release of the complex.
Under normal conditions, deltamethrin is continuously released by friction between the collar and the hair coat after it is fitted correctly to a dog. Since deltamethrin is highly lipophilic, it gradually spreads over the total body surface of the dog through the lipid layer on the skin surface. Scalibor exerts optimal control of paralysis and brown dog ticks commencing 2-3 weeks after it is applied to a dog that has not been treated previously with Scalibor.
Scalibor Tick Collars should be applied approximately 2-3 weeks before the dog is likely to be exposed to infestation.
