• First FDA emergency use authorization (EUA) ever granted for NWS in dogs
• Action reinforces agency’s commitment to providing treatment options for NWS in advance of the fly being detected in the U.S.
• Published literature showed Credelio may be effective in treating NWS in dogsⁱ
• Preventing open wounds through effective flea and tick control is critical in protecting pets from NWS

INDIANAPOLIS, October 30, 2025 /3BL/ – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) announced it has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Credelio™ (lotilaner) to treat New World screwworm (NWS) infestations in dogs. This is the first EUA ever granted by the Agency for NWS in dogs. Confirmed cases of NWS have been detected less than 70 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.ⁱⁱ This Emergency Use Authorization allows veterinarians and pet owners to have a ready-now treatment option if the fly enters the U.S.

“We appreciate the FDA’s review of the scientific data demonstrating that Credelio may be an effective treatment against New World screwworm in dogs,” said Dr. Ellen de Brabander, Executive Vice President of Innovation and Regulatory Affairs at Elanco. “This first ever Emergency Use Authorization for NWS in dogs gives veterinarians and pet owners peace of mind, knowing there’s an authorized treatment option available as soon as they may need it.”

The Emergency Use Authorization was based on a study evaluating the efficacy of Credelio against NWS. In the peer-reviewed study, published in Parasites & Vectors, oral administration of Credelio at the minimum recommended dosage demonstrated 100% efficacy against C. hominivorax larvae (NWS) within 24 hours of treatment in naturally infested dogs.ⁱ

There are limitations of the data supporting the benefits of Credelio for the treatment of infestations caused by NWS larvae. The study was conducted in a limited population of eleven naturally infested dogs in Brazil, and the inferential value to the United States population is unknown. The primary mechanism of action against C. hominivorax appears to be live larval expulsion. Additionally, the use of mechanical removal coupled with the lack of a control group confound the ability to define a pure treatment effect.

Effective Parasite Protection is Key

Even before NWS enters our country, veterinarians and pet owners can take precautions to prevent wounds that can create ideal conditions for NWS infection. NWS infestations begin when a female NWS fly lays eggs on open wounds or other parts of the body in live, warm-blooded animals. According to the Centers for Disease Control, wounds as small as a tick bite may attract a female fly to feed and lay her eggs. One female can lay 200 – 300 eggs at a time and may lay up to 1,000 eggs during her 10- to 30-day lifespan.ⁱⁱⁱ Unlike most fly species whose larvae may feed on dead and decaying tissue, NWS larvae burrow into the flesh of living animals, causing severe tissue damage and even death if left untreated.

The U.S. Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS) recommends that one way to prevent NWS infestations is to protect pets and livestock from other wound-causing parasites such as flies and ticks.^iv

“Any break in the skin – from a scratch to a surgical incision – can become an entry point for NWS, due to its aggressive and invasive nature,” said Dr. Casey Locklear, Texas-based veterinarian and parasiticide lead at Elanco. “Preventing or rapidly treating existing wounds is critical to protecting pets from NWS. One way to limit self-inflicted scratching includes using year-round flea and tick protection, such as Credelio.” Learn more about Credelio here.

Originally published on 3M News Center

From smartphones to data centers, semiconductors sit at the core of modern life. Now, with the exponential growth in artificial intelligence (AI) applications, high-performance computing and advanced memory are driving a new wave of demand for semiconductor chips—and stretching the limits of traditional manufacturing processes in semiconductor fabrication facilities, also called “fabs.”

Industry groups project global wafer-fabrication equipment spending will set new records in 2025 as manufacturers add capacity to support AI and advanced packaging, like those driven by the latest chip designs. In addition to industry-leading trends like chiplets, hybrid bonding, and 3D integration, technologies like silicon photonics and co-packaged optics (CPOs) will reshape how chips are interconnected, driving new requirements for yield, flatness, and thermal stability. Meeting these needs requires not just new tools, but also new materials that can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and shorten time-to-yield.

“3M collaborates and innovates with our customers and eco-system partners to push the boundaries of materials science to help them unlock new efficiencies across the fab,” said Lung Lin, vice president of 3M Display and Electronics. “From cleaner, flatter surfaces for next-generation interconnects, to smarter thermal solutions, our innovations are designed to help improve process stability and deliver efficiency. And as new technologies like silicon photonics and co-packaged optics emerge, we’re ready to help our customers integrate them with confidence.”

Materials that enable efficiency across the fab

For decades, 3M has partnered with semiconductor manufacturers to deliver advanced materials that support cleaner processes, higher yields, and greater throughput. Today, our portfolio spans multiple stages of wafer manufacturing:

• CMP materials (pads, and composite systems): Enable precise planarization—these polishing materials smooth each wafer layer so the next one can be built on a perfectly flat surface.
• Pad conditioners: Maintain pad performance and uniformity—these pads act like “refreshening” tools to keep polishing pads effective, making sure that wafers are polished evenly.
• Wafer support systems including bonding and protective tapes: Support wafer thinning, handling, and backside processing—these tapes hold wafers securely during processing, then the tapes remove easily
• Heat-resistant tapes: Safeguards sensitive parts of the chip through soldering, molding, and high-temperature processing.

Each of these solutions reflects 3M’s ability to apply deep expertise in abrasives, adhesives, and thermal management to some of the most complex manufacturing environments in the world.

Aligning with industry trends

Global shifts are reinforcing the need for advanced semiconductor materials:

• AI and packaging growth: As AI chips get larger and pull in more memory, the connections between different parts of the chips need to be ultra-precise, requiring extremely flat, clean, and bondable wafer surfaces that fit and work together reliably.
• 3D integration and chiplets: Instead of just making chips smaller, manufacturers are stacking them and linking smaller chiplets together, driving new approaches to stacking and interconnecting. Materials that support precision bonding and stable wafer handling are increasingly critical.
• Silicon photonics and co-packaged optics: Integrating optical and electronic components into the same package will redefine how chips communicate, and 3M can apply its expertise in bonding, thermal management, and precision handling as technology advances.

From wafer to workload

As the semiconductor industry scales to meet AI demand, efficiency gains at the fab level ripple outward. Materials that extend pad life, stabilize thermal performance, and enable reliable wafer handling not only save time and resources in production, they also help speed the availability of next-generation chips.

At the same time, AI’s rapid adoption is fueling new energy demands downstream. The International Energy Agency projects that global data center electricity use could more than double by 2030, with AI noted as a leading driver. That’s why 3M’s broader energy solutions, including sensored cable accessories, and optical interconnects—complement our semiconductor offerings. Together, they support a more sustainable digital infrastructure, from the wafer fabrication to the data center.

3M is committed to advancing the semiconductor industry through materials innovation. By enabling efficiency, improving reliability, and supporting environmental goals, we help manufacturers meet the needs of today’s AI-driven era—and prepare for the technologies still to come.
