Research Abstract

This study was conducted in the kingdom of
Saudi Arabia during the period from (August 2019 to
August 2020) to investigate the sarcoptic mange infestation
level in one humped camels (Camelus dromedarius), and to
assess the effect of the age and season on the mange
infestation, to assess the effect of the mange infestation on
the appetite and body condition score (BCS) and to develop
a good an applicable treatment protocol. 250 female camels
were examined clinically and parasitologically, skin
scraping revealed that Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli mite
was found in 28% of the examined animals, data analysis
of the selected parameters showed that there was an effect
for the age and season on the mange infestation, on the
other hand there was no effect for the mange infestation on
the appetite and BCS. Administration of Doramectin
injection and Deltamethrin spray together founded to be the
best treatment protocol for the sarcoptic mange infestation
in camels, this finding indicates that using the acaricides
alone is not enough for the disease eradication and must
combined with treatment of the contaminated environment
to prevent the reinfection from surrounding arears and
achieve the highest cure level.
