| Popis: | Dogs suffer from various skin infections caused by a variety of pathogens including mange mites. Scabies caused by Sarcoptes mites result in skin affections ranging from intense scratching, redness, and priorities to the death of the dog due to toxemia and septicemia. The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Sarcoptes mite infestation in dogs in and around Guwahati, India. A total number of 582 dogs were undertaken in the study. The overall prevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis infection in dogs was found 1.89% (11/582). Histopathological study revealed vacuolation, degenerative changes, and necrosis in the epidermal layer of the mite-affected skin area along with the presence of a cross-section of mites in the mange-affected skin. |
