摘要

由于管理引起的螨虫感染是小型反刍动物的主要健康问题，造成相当大的经济影响。为了评估Wolaita地区Sodo Zuria和Humbo地区小反刍动物中管理螨的流行情况及其相关危险因素，于2024年10月至2025年3月采用系统随机抽样的横断面研究方法进行了研究。在检查的246只动物中，10.16%（25/246）被发现感染了疥螨，其中山羊的患病率为14.40%（125只中有18只），绵羊为5.79%（121只中有7只）。结果表明，成年动物的感染率（12.16%）高于幼年动物（7.14%），低洼地区的感染率（16%）高于高原地区（4.13%）。革螨的发生与环境条件、年龄、体位、管理方式等因素有显著的统计学关系（p < 0.05）。在不同种类的螨类中，最常见的螨类为石蛉，占总数的6.91%。这项研究强调了螨虫对该地区小型反刍动物的健康威胁不断升级，强调了干预策略的迫切需要。它还强调了在高风险的低地农业生态区有针对性地施用杀螨剂和加强管理实践的重要性。

Prevalence and risk factors of mange mite (Sarcoptes and Demodex) infestations in small ruminants in Wolaita zone, southern Ethiopia

Mite infections due to mange represent a major health concern for small ruminants, resulting in considerable financial impacts. To assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of mange mites in small ruminants within the Sodo Zuria and Humbo districts of the Wolaita zone, a cross-sectional study employing systematic random sampling was conducted between October 2024 and March 2025. Out of 246 animals examined, 10.16 % (25/246) were found to be infected with mange mites, with goats showing a prevalence of 14.40 % (18 out of 125) and sheep at 5.79 % (7 out of 121). The results indicated a higher infection rate among adult animals (12.16 %) compared to younger ones (7.14 %), and those from lowland areas (16 %) faced a greater prevalence than animals from highland regions (4.13 %). Significant statistical relationships (p < 0.05) were identified between the occurrence of mange mites and various factors, including environmental conditions, age, body site, and management practices. Among the different species of mites identified, Sarcoptes was the most common, accounting for 6.91 % of cases. This research highlights an escalating health threat posed by mites to small ruminants in the area, underscoring the urgent need for intervention strategies. It also stresses the importance of targeted acaricide applications and enhanced management practices in high-risk lowland agro-ecological zones.

期刊介绍： Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
