use of ivermectin to control sarcoptic mange in goats in indonesia.the results of three experiments aimed at controlling sarcoptic mange in goats in indonesia are reported. in experiment 1 treatment with ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg body weight) or coumaphos (0.05% dip solution) resulted in a significant reduction in mite numbers and an increase in body weight while in the untreated controls all animals had to be withdrawn from the experiment due to severity of infection. in experiment 2 three treatment levels of ivermectin were shown to be equally effective in reduci ...19902120826
a technique for quantitative evaluation of ectoparasitic mites and insects of domestic animals.a modified koh dissolution technique using tween 80 has been developed for the diagnosis and quantitative evaluation of ectoparasitic mites and insects of veterinary importance. fifty intact skin segments from ten different domestic animals were artificially inoculated in vitro with ten specimens each of the mites sarcoptes scabiei, chorioptes bovis, psoroptes ovis and demodex caprae and insects haematopinus eurysternus and bovicola bovis. sixty-seven to 88% of the mites and 80-99% of the insect ...19902121422
sarcoptic mange in swedish wildlife.mange caused by sarcoptes scabiei var. vulpes appeared among red foxes (vulpes vulpes) in scandinavia (south-west finland) for the first time in this century in 1967. the disease was most probably introduced by foxes crossing the gulf of finland from estonia. the mange epizootic spread northwards through finland and reached sweden in late 1975, when mangy foxes appeared in the northern part of the country. in 1984, mange was observed in most parts of sweden. the disease was observed to spread ra ...19921305857
sarcoptes scabiei in histopathologic sections of skin in human scabies.the usual methods of diagnosis remove sarcoptes scabiei from its habitat. thus, one has no appreciation of the host-endoparasitic interaction, especially the pathologic response of the surrounding tissue and the means by which the mite survives and lives its life cycle in the skin. the biopsy specimen described in this article demonstrates the tissue reaction that can be correlated with clinical symptoms. it also clearly depicts the actual position, morphological features, and developmental cycl ...19902122813
nosocomial outbreak of scabies.scabies is a common infestation caused by the human itch mite sarcoptes scabiei. small outbreaks in communities or hospitals are not uncommon, but are rarely documented. in this paper, we report on a nosocomial outbreak of scabies originating from a patient with norwegian scabies at the intensive care unit in taiwan provincial tainan hospital. twenty-nine individuals including four inpatients and 25 hospital personnel were involved. the diagnosis was based on history, clinical findings or a posi ...19921364225
management of an outbreak of norwegian scabies.an outbreak of norwegian scabies in a 170-bed acute care hospital was controlled through an organized plan for delivering treatment to those affected: four patients, 50 staff members, and 14 family members of staff members. health departments in two counties were notified and found four additional cases in the long-term care facility at which the index patient lived. contact isolation was used for the index patient and any other patients with nosocomial scabies. staff members infested with sarco ...19921381877
[the parasite-host specificity of the itch mite sarcoptes scabiei (acariformes: sarcoptidae) in man and animals (a review of the literature)].the primary parasitic relations between the itch mite sarcoptes scabiei (l.) and man are confirmed indirectly by the presence in the family sarcoptidae of close genera, members of which parasitize primates. judging from the composition of domestic and wild animals-hosts, the source of their infection with s. scabiei was man that gave rise to numerous forms of mites specific to individual species of hosts or their related groups belonging to different taxonomic ranks. three types of host relation ...19921408365
the "nuisance" sexually transmitted diseases: molluscum contagiosum, scabies, and crab lice.although molluscum contagiosum, scabies, and infestation by crab lice do not carry the requirements of partner notification or other long-term consequences, they are among the most commonly reported sexually transmitted disease. molluscum contagiosum is a benign viral infection of the skin epidermal layer, most often transmitted by intimate skin-to-skin contact. the lesions often resolve spontaneously over time, but patient discomfort or social reasons may require destructive removal of the lesi ...19902246949
[the parasitism of the itch mite sarcoptes scabiei (acariformes: sarcoptidae)].the life cycle of the itch mite sarcoptes scabiei (l.), an intracutaneous parasite of man and animals, has been studied. the paper concerns morphological adaptations, embryonal and postembryonal development, life cycle pattern, scabious passage as a reproductive formation, invasive stages, feeding, reproduction and topical relationships with the host, distribution and survival in the environment.19921454411
care and treatment of scabies.in these days of universal precautions, the staff nurse can and should work with all patients as if they had a potentially infectious disease. a case in point is scabies which mimics many dermatological conditions and is transmitted by direct contact. scabies is caused by infestation with the mite sarcoptes scabiei, and can be a problem in nursing homes and hospitals, particularly among patients who are debilitated and require extensive hands-on care. a scabies outbreak need not result in chaos ...19902393498

[intestinal parasites and ectoparasites in the v region, chile: study in the psychiatric hospital of putaendo].a prospective study was carried out in 229 chronic patients (of both sexes) from the psychiatric hospital of putaendo, in order to find out the frequency of intestinal parasites and/or commensals in the period 1987-1989. one hundred and ninety four (84.7%) out of the 229 studied patients were infected by parasites and/or commensals. the high prevalence of commensals entamoeba coli (55.0%) and endolimax nana (50.5%) became more evident. among the parasites, the most frequent was trichuris trichiu ...19902152365
pruritus and behavior of pigs infested by itch mites, sarcoptes scabiei (acari: sarcoptidae).effects of infestation by sarcoptes scabiei (de geer) on pruritus and other behaviors of pigs for 9-13 wks after weaning were evaluated. regardless of the dose of mites inoculated, pigs fed ad lib. spent approximately 60% of their time at rest. within their average day, pigs spent more time eating in morning and evening, were more active and pruritic at midday, and rested more and spent the least time drinking water at night. mite infestations increased total activity and time spent scratching a ...19902212239
histopathology in hosts parasitized by sarcoptes scabiei.histopathologic evaluation of nondermal tissue in rabbits infested with sarcoptes scabiei var. canis was investigated. severe infestation resulted in deviant serological and serum biochemical values. histological study revealed structural changes in the tissues of specific organs. the most prominent histological finding was amyloidosis in the liver, glomerulus of the kidney, red pulp of the spleen, intestines, and tongue. hosts treated for infestation exhibited no abnormal organ histology.19902254824

norwegian scabies in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.a rare, severe form of scabies called norwegian or keratotic scabies is described in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids). this is the first known description of this disease in an aids patient. the occurrence of secondary staphylococcal sepsis illustrates the importance of early correct diagnosis and treatment. cutaneous hydration followed by aggressive application of gamma benzene hexachloride was safe and effective.19892471608
