association of malassezia (pityrosporum) pachydermatis with sarcoptic mange in new york state.	malassezia (pityrosporum) pachydermatis consistently accompanied sarcoptic mange in all red foxes (vulpes fulva), porcupines (erethizon dorsatum), and coyotes (canis latrans) examined. this yeastlike microorganism has not heretofore been reported on any of these hosts. its presence on the exoskeleton of sarcoptes scabiei taken from these animals suggests a carrier role for the mite. the yeast may be saprophytic or a secondary pathogen.	1980	6780699
nursing management of patients with scabies and lice.	ectoparasites have afflicted mankind since antiquity and continue to be responsible for much human suffering. the infested patient is in need of prompt, effective treatment from a compassionate, knowledgeable nurse. the nurse who understands how these creatures are transmitted and how they can be efficiently eradicated can help the patient become free of the misery of infestation and the dangers of secondary disease.	1980	6779266
efficacy of ivermectin against sarcoptes scabiei in pigs.	the efficacy of orally administered ivermectin against sarcoptes scabiei was investigated in pigs harbouring experimentally induced infections. treatment at dosage rates of 300 and 500 microgram per kg body-weight provided 100% control as assessed by mite populations and clinical signs, while at a dose rate of 180 microgram per kg mite populations were substantially reduced but not eliminated.	1980	6777962

laboratory diagnosis of scabies.	all the above listed reasons as well as the experience we have obtained with this method, justify our recommendation of the introduction of the laboratory diagnosis of scabies through the method of lye scraping of the skin into routine practice. a single parasite element is enough for determining the diagnosis while, for the above mentioned reasons, a negative microscope finding does not exclude the parasitic etiology of the given disease. we therefore recommend in the diagnosis of scabies that ...	1980	6772710
[norwegian scabies caused by sarcoptes scabiei variety hominis].	a rare case of norwegian scabies in a 16 years old female patient is reported. there also was silver roussel's syndrome and cellular immunologic deficiency. the case was confirmed at the biopsy, direct examination and immunologic examinations. clinically, by erythema and adherent, abundant, whitish desquamation. the treatment resulted in a full recovery.	1980	6769444
cross infestivity of sarcoptes scabiei.	sarcoptes scabiei var. canis was successfully transferred from the dog to new zealand white rabbits, oryctologus cuniculus. natural and experimental transfers were accomplished between rabbits. the dog strain transferred to rabbits showed no morphologic changes and was readily transferred back to dogs. experimental transfer of var. canis to guinea pigs and pigs resulted in only temporary infestation. attempts to infest haired and hairless mice, thymus-deficient (nude) mice, and rats were unsucce ...	1984	6736342
experimental infection of red foxes (vulpes vulpes) with sarcoptes scabiei var. vulpes.	two of 3 red foxes became experimentally infected with sarcoptes scabiei v. vulpes isolated from a naturally infected wild fox. the first clinical sign was seen after 10 days. after 30 days hairless patches were observed on the back of one of the foxes while general hair loss continued slowly. on the other fox the only macroscopical changes was tangling of the hair. the foxes died after 67 and 94 days, respectively. both foxes were anaemic and in very poor condition. scratching was seen in only ...	1984	6541832
occurrence and impact of zoonoses in pet dogs and cats at us air force bases.	a descriptive epidemiologic study was conducted to quantitate the occurrence of zoonoses in pet animals (almost exclusively dogs and cats) at 30 air force bases in nine regions of the united states during 1980 and 1981. reviews of reported cases of pet-associated zoonoses in humans at these bases were included. occurrence of a zoonotic disease in dogs and cats was expressed as a ratio of reported cases per 100 rabies vaccinations (cs/crv). overall, the four zoonoses reported most frequently from ...	1984	6496816

efficacy of ivermectin against the mange mite sarcoptes scabiei var suis in pigs.	the efficacy of ivermectin administered by esophageal intubation in a single dose was evaluated against the mange mite sarcoptes scabiei var suis in 24 naturally infested pigs. six pigs were allocated to each of the 4 treatment groups. control (group 1) pigs were given nonmedicated water, group 2 were given ivermectin at 300 micrograms/kg of body weight, group 3 were given ivermectin at 400 micrograms/kg, and group 4 were given ivermectin at 500 micrograms/kg. the pigs were examined for s scabie ...	1984	6437301
hemagglutinating factor in an extract of sarcoptes scabiei var. suis (de geer).	a naturally occurring hemagglutinating factor to tanned human o positive, ovine and porcine erythrocytes was found in extracts from sarcoptes scabiei var. suis. this hemagglutinating factor did not react with bovine, equine or avian erythrocytes. this factor was demonstrated by microscopic examination of the tanned erythrocytes and by the passive hemagglutination assay.	1984	6437056
detection of serum antibodies to sarcoptic mange mite antigens by the passive hemagglutination assay in pigs infested with sarcoptes scabiei var. suis.	development and remission of the clinical signs of sarcoptic mange in pigs experimentally infested once and twice with sarcoptes scabiei var. suis were described. encrusted lesions in the ears of pigs and a general dermatitis were observed 3 weeks after infestation, but subsided gradually. specific antibody activity, in titers averaging 1:16 000 in sera from rabbits immunized with mite extracts and 1:512 in the serum from a pig artificially infested with sarcoptic manage and then twice immunized ...	1984	6437055
host-seeking behavior of sarcoptes scabiei.	sarcoptes scabiei mites perceive specific host stimuli and are attracted to the host. mites dislodged from the host respond to both host odor and a thermal stimulus and seek its source. the response to thermal and host odor stimuli are independent. mites in close proximity to the body respond to both stimuli and show no preference for either. at greater distances from the host, odor is the more important stimulus.	1984	6436342
survival and infectivity of sarcoptes scabiei var. canis and var. hominis.	sarcoptes scabiei var. canis served as a suitable model for the study of s. scabiei var. hominis survival. s. scabiei var. canis and var. hominis mites were found to survive off the host for 24 to 36 hours at room conditions (21 degrees c and 40% to 80% relative humidity [rh]), and the canine variety survived 19 days at 10 degrees c and 97% rh. female mites survived decidedly longer than male mites at comparable conditions. generally, higher rh values and lower temperatures favored survival, whe ...	1984	6434601

[clinical effects of ivermectin in the treatment of sarcoptes scabiei var canis in farm foxes].	the efficacy of ivermectin against natural infection of the mange mite sarcoptes scabiei var canis in foxes was evaluated. the investigations consisted of two field studies and one controlled study. in experiment 1, ivermectin was given as a single subcutaneous dose at 200 micrograms/kg in six foxes. in experiment 2, was one group, consisting of five animals, administered 200 micrograms ivermectin/kg s.c. twice with an interval of 35 days. group two, consisting of four animals, was given one sub ...	1984	6431396
the epizootiology and pathology of sarcoptic mange in coyotes, canis latrans, from south texas.	an epizootic of sarcoptic mange in coyotes from south texas, canis latrans , was studied over a 7-yr period, 1975 through 1981. from a four-county area centered in webb county, texas the epizootic radiated centrifugally to include a 27-county area. the disease progressed from initial, scabby encrustations on the ischium and fore and hind legs to severe, thickened, slate-gray hyperkeratotic lesions with almost complete alopecia. there were significant decreases in alpha-globulin and albumin, sign ...	1983	6425486
evaluation of a sponge-on therapy for canine scabies.	forty dogs (20 treated, 20 controls) were utilized to evaluate a new treatment for naturally acquired canine scabies. a liquid concentrate formulation of amitraz was diluted and applied as a sponge-on therapy. ninety-four percent of the dogs treated with the scabicide were cleared of mites and returned to clinical normality with a single topical treatment; one dog was retreated, cleared of mites and was also returned to normality. all dogs treated with the miticide responded clinically, therefor ...	1984	6423834
the immunology of scabies.	scabies is an inflammatory skin disease caused by the mite sarcoptes scabiei. the mite itself provokes little dermatitis. the rash and itch associated with scabies is probably a manifestation of immune response. the immune response may help to limit the number of infesting organisms either directly by toxic products generated during the reaction or indirectly by evoking scratch. critical studies using purified antigens from scabies mites in vivo and in vitro will be necessary in order to clarify ...	1983	6419647

experimental canine scabies in humans.	adult female sarcoptes scabiei var. canis mites were applied to human skin for 96 hours in an experimental chamber. clinical lesions produced during this period were studied histologically. the organisms burrowed, defecated, and laid up to nine eggs that developed normally. two eggs hatched after removal from the host. a life cycle was not completed during this short experiment, but these results suggest canine scabies are capable of such activities on human skin.	1983	6415133
ivermectin for the control of swine scabies: relative values of prefarrowing treatment of sows and weaning treatment of pigs.	ivermectin given in a single subcutaneous dose (300 micrograms/kg of body weight) was tested for activity against swine scabies (sarcoptes scabiei). efficacy was determined by recoveries of mites from ear scrapings and by observations of clinical signs. treatment of infected sows 8 to 37 days before farrowing eliminated scabies from the sows and prevented its transmission to their offspring. pigs farrowed by ivermectin-treated sows remained noninfected throughout the study regardless of whether ...	1983	6410942
