“…Infestações por ectoparasitos em coelhos são problemas comuns, causadores de afecções dérmicas que interferem na qualidade de vida dos animais (White et al 2002). Diversas espécies de animais domésticos e silvestres são acometidas por Psoroptes ovis (Wall & Kolbe 2006).…”

“…Diversas espécies de animais domésticos e silvestres são acometidas por Psoroptes ovis (Wall & Kolbe 2006). Nos coelhos, P. ovis é o ectoparasito mais relatado, encontrado principalmente nas orelhas, levando a quadros de otite, caracterizado por intenso prurido, alopecia, formações de crostas (White et al 2002), podendo ainda ser observado ulcerações, hiperemia e formação de tecido de granulação (Chen et al 2000).…”

“…Vários produtos antiparasitários vêm sendo utilizados para o tratamento de infestações por essas parasitoses em coelhos, como a ivermectina (Sudham et al 1990, White et al 2002, ivermectina em associação com fipronil (Cutler 1998), moxidectina (Wagner & Wendlberger 2000, White et al 2002, eprinomectina , selamectina (McTier et al 2003, Kurtdede et al 2007) e doramectina , refere-se, ainda, a possibilidade da utilização de tratamento tópico ou sistêmico, bem como não sendo necessária a remoção das crostas (White et al 2002). Ressalta-se que, no Brasil, não há produtos que contenham tais fármacos registrados no Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA), com indicação para o controle destes parasitos em coelhos destinados a produção de carne.…”

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(9):832-836, setembro 2014 832 RESUMO.-O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia da ivermectina administrada por via oral no controle de Psoroptes ovis e Leporacarus gibbus em coelhos naturalmente infestados. Foram selecionados 20 coelhos adultos, distribuídos na mesma proporção de ambos os sexos, em dois grupos experimentais, compondo dez animais por grupo. No grupo controle foi administrado o mesmo volume do tratamento de solução salina, enquanto o grupo tratado recebeu dose única de ivermectina oral (400 µg/Kg). O diagnóstico dos ácaros foi realizado com auxílio de microscópio estereoscópico após a devida coleta de material. Para P. ovis foi realizada através de coleta do cerúmen com auxílio de zaragatoas efetuadas nas orelhas e para por L. gibbus foi realizada coleta de pelos nas regiões do pescoço dorsal, The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral ivermectin in the control of Psoroptes ovis and Leporacarus gibbus in naturally infested rabbits. Twenty adult rabbits were selected; they were distributed in two groups with equal proportions of both sexes, containing ten animals per group. In the control group the same volume of the treatment was administered of saline solution, meanwhile the treated group received a single dose of oral ivermectin (400µg/kg). The diagnosis of the mites was made with a stereoscopic microscope, after the proper collection of material. For P. ovis it was performed by collecting of ear wax with swabs and for L. gibbus it was performed by collecting hairs in the dorsal part of the neck, lumbar right, lumbar left, ventral side of the tail and ventral abdomen. The evaluation of the efficiency and the clinical evaluation of the lesions, measured in scores (grade 0 to 4) was made in days 0, +3, +7, +4, +21, +28, and +35, after treatment. An efficiency of 100% was observed for P. ovis following day +7, and for L. gibbus following day +14, remaining negative until the final day of the study. The score of lesions in the ears of the treated group regressed following day +14 and on day +21 all animals reached a score of 0. In the control group, two animals presented an increase in ear lesion score, one rabbit presented an increase from score 1 to 2, and the other rabbit, from score 3 to 4. No adverse reactions were observed in the treated animals. The single dose administration of oral ivermectin was successful in the control of P. ovis and L. gibbus in naturally infested rabbits.

“…Ectoparasites, especially mites, are the most frequent cause of these dermatologic problems. Among the disease-associated species are Psoroptes ovis (Hering, 1838) (Psoroptidae), Cheyletiella parasitivorax (Megnin, 1878) (Cheyletiellidae), and Leporacarus gibbus (Pagenstecher, 1861) (Listrophoridae) (see White et al 2002).…”

“…The typical clinical presentation is bilateral auricular disease characterized by intense pruritic otitis with thick crusts in the external ear canal extending up to the ear pinna. In chronic cases, otitis media and neurological signs and symptoms may arise, with eardrum perforation, secondary bacterial infection, and meningitis (White et al 2002). Ectopic and/or generalized cases are less common but have been reported (Cutler 1998).…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the d-phenothrin/pyriproxyfen association against Psoroptes ovis, Cheyletiella parasitivorax, and Leporacarus gibbus infestations in naturally co-infested rabbits. Twenty crossbreed (New Zealand White x California) rabbits concurrently infested by the three mite species were randomly divided in two groups. All rabbits presented with hyperemia, erythema and formation of crusts in the ear canals caused by P. ovis. Infestations by both C. parasitivorax and L. gibbus were considered asymptomatic in all animals.Ten animals were treated with a 4.4% d-phenothrin and 0.148% pyriproxyfen spray formulation until have their body surface uniformly sprayed, including external ear canals. The other ten rabbits remained untreated, serving as control group. Observations were done on days +7, +14, +21, +28, and +35 post-treatment. The dphenothrin/pyriproxyfen association showed 100% efficacy against the three mite species and was responsible for the remission of psoroptic mange lesions on treated animals. No signs of intoxication were observed. The results indicate that d-phenothrin/pyriproxyfen spray formulation in a single application is an effective and clinically safe option for the control of different mite infestations in rabbits.
