Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: NM is an employee of Bayer Animal Health, a company that produces and sells anti-parasitic drugs. With the exception of NM, Bayer Animal Health was not involved in study design, data collection, data analysis or preparation of the manuscript. The decision to publish the manuscript was jointly taken. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS policies on sharing data and materials.
