Etiketle | Özet: | Sarcoptic mange, caused by the Sarcoptes mite, is a highly prevalent disease in dogs with significant zoonotic potential, as it can be transmitted either directly or indirectly. Its incidence has been increasing internationally, leading to misdiagnoses that complicate the provision of effective therapy. The primary objective of this study is to establish percentages or levels of sarcoptic mange in dogs treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center at the Technical University of Babahoyo. This study examines factors such as age, breed, and sex, and also assesses the risks associated with this disease. It is established that mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei can be mitigated with rigorous health monitoring, depending on the conditions. However, these measures cannot be effective without controlling many other factors. Scabies is classified as a parasitic infestation that attacks alopecia, causing severe and constant itching, hair loss, and purulent scabs. In more chronic cases, opportunistic or secondary infections of bacterial origin are possible. Diagnosis is very complicated and involves the evaluation of skin tissue samples. The life cycle of Sarcoptes scabiei ranges from 17 to 21 days, and it lives at the expense of its host. Infection begins when the animal enters and interacts primarily with dogs that have been infested, either directly or indirectly through accessories used by the infected dog. Regarding the system, a representative study will be conducted on 40 dogs without discrimination. All dogs will be treated at the Dr. Marcos Oviedo Rodríguez Animal Health Center at the Technical University of Babahoyo. All variables will be evaluated, including the presence of Sarcoptes scabiei mites, the degree of infestation, hygiene and sanitary conditions, habitat, and the dogs' demographics. Skin scraping will be the technique used to determine the presence of sarcoptic mange. Keywords: Mites, incidence, transmission, diseases zoonoses |
