| Abstract: | Camels and goats were experimentally infected both with Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli and S. scabiei var. caprae in such numbers to prove these mites are not host specific.More severe lesions were produced on camels and goats when the mites were applied to lacerated than to scarified or non-scarified areas and to moistened than dry areas.Severe histopathology was observed in the skin of both camels and goats with mainly thick keratin and scab formation beneath which mites were seen. These were severe degenerative and necrotic changes. Observations suggest that spread of infection between camels and goats is possible under natural conditions.Treatment of the experimental lesions with salicylic acid followed by Gammatox (hexachlorocyclohexane) produced rapid and complete cure. |
