Sarcoptes scabiei ile Doğal Enfeste olan Tavşanlarda (Oryctolagus cuniculus) Eprinomektin Tedavisinin Etkinliği

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesine göz, burun, ağız etrafında ve ayaklarda kaşıntılı yara şikâyetleri ile getirilen on iki beyaz Yeni Zelanda tavşanı (Oryctolagus cuniculus) üzerinde yürütüldü. Tavşanların lezyonlu bölgelerinden bisturi yardımıyla alınan deri kazıntıları %10’luk KOH ile ezildikten sonra ışık mikroskobunda incelendi ve tavşanların Sarcoptes scabiei ile infeste oldukları belirlendi. Tedavide eprinomektin 0.2 mg/kg ve deri altı yolla 14 gün arayla iki kez uygulandı. Eprinomektinin etkinliği; deri kazıntısının parazitolojik muayenesinde Sarcoptes scabiei akarlarının varlığı ve/veya klinik belirtilerin devam edip etmediği durumuna göre değerlendirildi. Sonuçta eprinomektinin tavşanlarda S. scabiei'nin doğal enfestasyonlarına karşı etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Efficiency of Eprinomectin for the Treatment of Naturally Infested with Sarcoptes scabiei in Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)#

Abstract

This study was carried out on twelve white New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) which brought with itchy wounds symptoms around eye, nose, mouth and feet to Afyon Kocatepe University, Veterinary Faculty, Animal Hospital. The skin scrapings that taken from the lesion areas of rabbits with a scalpel, were examined in the light microscope then crushed with 10% KOH and it was determined the rabbits infested with Sarcoptes scabiei. At treatment, Eprinomectin was administered 0.2 mg/kg subcutaneously twice with 14 days interval. The efficacy of eprinomectin was assessed either clinically or parasitologically examination by the absence of Sarcoptes scabiei mites due to skin scraping. The results of the present study determine that eprinomectin is effective against naturally infestations of S. scabiei in rabbits.
