“…The finding of only Sergentomyia species around Mrima is an indication that a leishmaniasis focus cannot be established in the area.These sand flies are a biting nuisance and can cause harara. Harara which is a form of delayed-type hypersensitivity towards sand fly saliva [23] (Dostrovsky, 1935) is still seen in places where sand flies are found, mainly in neonates and non-immunized persons sensitized with saliva [24,25] (Theodor, 1935;Alexander, 1984). According to Theodor [24] (1935), following the bite, itching begins and is sufficient to cause insomnia.…”

“…In repeated bites, some individuals may have enlarged pruritus [44,45]. After persistent scratching, secondary bacterial or fungal infection of lesions may occur [46][47][48] (Figure 1I). Other clinical disorders might happen in rare cases, such as asthmatic reactions, urticaria, and anaphylaxis [49,50].…”

Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, and C. hemipterus are among the most common ectoparasites in human life worldwide. They feed on humans of all ages and sexes across all socioeconomic levels. Bed bugs’ blood feeding is responsible for a wide range of clinical manifestations varying from minor reactions to bullous eruptions or severe allergies. In addition, they are responsible for considerable psychological distress. Therefore, diagnosis of bed bug bites and their consequence manifestations is beneficial in adapting remedies and treatment protocols advised by clinicians. So far, there is regrettably no definitive way to control these ectoparasites despite extensive efforts of public health authorities to manage them. An overview of the literature and medical documents gathered from bed bug-infested patients referred to the Parasitology and Dermatology departments of Avicenne Hospital (Bobigny, France) allowed us to document and illustrate a range of clinical disorders and psychological concerns caused by bed bugs’ bites and their clinical diagnosis. We also review the available tools currently used to control the bed bugs and present potential candidate methods for their successful eradication.

“…Penyakit ini telah dikenal sejak lama, yaitu ketika Bonomo dan Cestoni mampu mengilustrasikan sebuah tungau sebagai penyebab skabies pada tahun 1689 (Montesu dan Cottoni, 1991). Literatur lain menyebutkan bahwa skabies diteliti pertama kali oleh Aristotle dan Cicero sekitar tiga ribu tahun yang lalu dan menyebutnya sebagai "lice in the flesh" (Alexander, 1984).…”

A 2-month-old female local dog named Desi is experiencing skin problems with signs of itching and alopecia since she was resqueed 3 weeks before being examined. Clinical examination showed pruritus, alopecia, scales, erythema, papules and pustules. On examination of deep skin scrapping on the skin found the presence of Sarcoptes sp. mites amounted to one mite per one field of view. Hematological examination showed that the animal had leukocytosis, normochromic normocytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. The dog was diagnosed with scabiosis. The dog’s owner have given simparica 2 weeks before the dog being examined. The therapy given is by injection of Diphenhydramine HCl 0.26 mL (1 mg/kg BW) once intramuscularly then continued with Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 x tablets a day (0.5 mg/kg BW) for 7 days, Kalvidog 1 x ¼ tablets a day (1 tablet for dogs weighing 10 kg) for 10 days, and clean the itchy and alopecia skin using a wet tissue and smeared with Scabbless Cream (in the form of an ointment) for 10 days. Dogs are bathed 3 times every 3 days using Dermasep soap which contains sulfur. Evaluation after 10 days (24 days after simparica was given) the dog's condition had improved with reduced scratching intensity, squama, and a healthier looking coat. The results of the deep skin scrapping examination in 7 site also showed the absence of Sarcoptes sp. mites. The therapy continue in the form of smearing Virgin Coconut Oil and giving Kalvidog ¼ tablet every day. The purpose of this case report is to add information on cases of scabies in local puppies with alopecia, scales and pruritus. After 24 days of giving simparica, the dogs have experienced recovery because the simparica treatment was accompanied by treatment using topical soap or ointment containing sulfur for 10 days. Suggestions that can be given are for the owner to bathe the dog regularly, apply Virgin Coconut Oil and give Kalvidog multivitamins every day so that it can accelerate hair growth in the dog.
