Abstract

Objective: Scabies infestation is a major parasitic disease affecting both human and animal health worldwide. This study aimed to determine the distribution of scabies infestation in stray dogs in Bursa province.

Methods: The study material was obtained from stray dogs suspected of mange kept in a municipal shelter in Bursa between June 2020 and February 2022. Samples from stray dogs were examined in a laboratory, and dogs with scabies were determined.

Results: During the study, samples were collected from 205 (115 males, 90 females) scabies-suspected stray dogs, 58 (28.29%) of which had scabies. Demodex spp. were detected in 35 of the positive dogs (60.34%) (D. canis, D. injae), 19 (32.76%) Sarcoptes scabiei canis, 2 (3.44%) mixed infestation (Sarcoptes and Demodex), and 2 (3.44%) Otodectes cynotis agents. It was determined that 32 (55.17%) of 58 scabies-positive dogs were male and 26 (44.83%) were female. The association of infestations with age, season, and sex has not been found to be statistically meaningful.

Conclusion: This study identified scabies agents and their prevalence rate in stray dogs of Bursa province, Türkiye.

布尔萨省流浪狗疥疮感染的分布情况。

目的：疥疮是一种影响全球人类和动物健康的主要寄生虫病。本研究旨在确定布尔萨省流浪狗疥疮感染的分布情况：研究材料取自 2020 年 6 月至 2022 年 2 月期间布尔萨市收容所中疑似患有疥癣的流浪狗。在实验室对流浪狗样本进行检验，并确定狗是否患有疥疮：研究期间，从 205 只（115 只雄性，90 只雌性）疑似患有疥疮的流浪狗身上采集了样本，其中 58 只（28.29%）患有疥疮。在 35 只阳性犬（60.34%）（犬疥螨、犬疥螨）、19 只（32.76%）犬疥螨、2 只（3.44%）混合感染（犬疥螨和犬疥螨）和 2 只（3.44%）犬耳螨中检测到疥螨。在 58 只疥疮阳性犬中，32 只（55.17%）为雄性，26 只（44.83%）为雌性。疥疮感染与年龄、季节和性别的关系在统计学上没有意义：本研究确定了土耳其布尔萨省流浪狗中的疥疮病原体及其流行率。
