Abstract

Severe sarcoptic mange and cheyletiellosis in a male New Zealland rabbit at 4 months of age are reported. Infection is characteristic with a mass resembling to the horn of a rhinoceros on the muzzle, crustling on pinnae and paws, gryposis, alopecia on abdomen. Sarcoptes scabiei and Cheyletiella parasitivorax were identified in skin scrapings. Ivermectin (İverkol ® Etkin) at the dose of 1.2mg kg-1 bw was injected subcutanously. The mass on the muzzle fell off on the 2nd day of treatment. The mite burden of the mass was found to be 657 S. scabiei and 2 C. parasitivorax in a volume of 5mm3 respectively. Since few live mites were observed in scapings, the treatment was repeated at the dose of 600µg kg-1 on the 7th day of treatment. There was not any live mite in the scapings on the 14th day post treatment. However, alopecia especially on the muzzle and gryposis were still persistent, and, a third application of the drug at the dose of 600µg kg-1 was performed. The rabbit was kept in a wire cage for 5 months and examined with 10 days of intervals. Any side effect of the drug was not observed. The rabbit clinically improved except alopecia on the muzzle.

Abstract

Dört aylık erkek Yeni Zellanda tavşanında şiddetli sarkoptik uyuz ve cheyletiellosis vakası bildirilmektedir. Enfeksiyon burun bölgesinde yerleşmiş gergedan boynuzuna benzer kitle, kulak kepçesi ve ayaklarda kabuklanma, tırnak anomalileri, karın bölgesinde kıl dökülmesi ile karakterizedir. Deri kazıntılarında Sarcoptes scabiei ve Cheyletiella parasitivorax tesbit edilmiştir. Derialtı yolla 1.2mg kg-1 dozda Ivermectin (İverkol ® Etkin) enjekte edilmiştir. Burundaki kitle tedavinin 2. gününde düşmüştür. Kitledeki parazit yoğunluğu 5mm3 lük bir hacimde 657 adet S. scabiei ve 2 adet C. parasitivorax olarak belirlenmiştir. Tedavinin 7. gününde deri kazıntılarında birkaç canlı akar tesbit edildiği için tedavi 600µg kg-1 dozda tekrarlanmıştır. Tedavi sonrası 14. günde deri kazıntılarında canlı akara rastlanmamıştır. Ancak, burun bölgesindeki kıl dökülmesi ve tırnak anomalileri devam ettiği için ilaç 600µg kg-1 dozda üçüncü kez uygulanmıştır. Tavşan 5 ay süreyle tel bir kafeste bakılmış ve 10 günlük aralarla muayene edilmiştir. İlacın hiçbir yan etkisi gözlenmemiştir. Burun bölgesindeki kıl dökülmesi hariç tavşan klinik olarak iyileşmiştir
