Abstract

Camel mange, an exceedingly infectious ectoparasitism brought on by the parasite mite Sarcoptes scabiei and spread through direct or indirect contact, is one of the most significant parasitic disorders afflicting camels in Ethiopia. Economically significant infectious camel illness called camel mange affects the health and production of these animals. In order to ascertain the prevalence of camel mange mites and related risk factors in Kumbi woreda in Eastern Hararghe, Ethiopia, a cross-sectional study was carried out between May and November 2019. A total of 384 animals were randomly chosen for this investigation, and 96 camels tested positive for mange mite infestation. Skin scrapings were used to recover mange from suspicious lesions, which were then inspected under a microscope. As a result, 25% of camels were discovered to have mange mites. In every skin scraping sample taken from the suspected mange mite lesions, only Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli mite species was found. PA, sex, age, physical condition status, and herd size were thought to be risk factors. Only the herd size and body condition shows a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of mange mites (P 0.05), whereas the PA, sex, and age did not exhibit any significant differences in mange infestation. According to this study, mange mites are present in camel papulations in the Kumbi woreda, which may negatively impact the health and productivity of the camels. To lessen the impact of mange mite infestation on camel husbandry, more emphasis should be placed on improving the management system, along with additional research and control measures.
埃塞俄比亚东部哈尔加盖Kumbi wooreda驼癣螨流行情况评估
骆驼疥疮是一种极具传染性的体外寄生虫病,由疥螨引起,通过直接或间接接触传播,是埃塞俄比亚骆驼最严重的寄生虫疾病之一。骆驼病是一种具有重要经济意义的传染性疾病,影响着这些动物的健康和生产。2019年5月至11月,为了确定埃塞俄比亚东部哈拉格省Kumbi worda地区骆驼管理螨的流行情况和相关危险因素,开展了一项横断面研究。本次调查共随机选取384只动物,其中96只骆驼被检测为感染毛螨阳性。皮肤刮痕用于从可疑病变中恢复管理,然后在显微镜下检查。结果,25%的骆驼被发现有疥螨。在所有疑似疥螨病变的皮肤刮拭样本中,只发现疥螨变种骆驼螨。PA、性别、年龄、身体状况和畜群规模被认为是危险因素。只有兽群规模和体质差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05),兽群、性别和年龄差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。根据这项研究,Kumbi森林骆驼种群中存在管理螨,这可能对骆驼的健康和生产力产生负面影响。为了减轻管理螨对骆驼养殖的影响,应更加重视改善管理制度,同时开展更多的研究和控制措施。
