In the article the results of studies of epizootic characteristics, clinical course, diagnosis criteria of pets’ sarcoptoides, as well as evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of ivermectin in the fight against scabious diseases are presented. It is established that sarcoptoides among pets are mostly cats, home decorative rabbits, Guinea pigs, rats. Largely that do not meet hygienic standards contribute to contamination of animal welfare. Among the pathogens of pets’ sarcoptoidoses there are whole range, namely Notoedres cati causes scabies names notoedrosis; supracutaneous mite Psoroptes cuniculi striking in rodents, causing them the development of parasitic otitis, and carpet mite Otodectes cynotis is the cause of otodectosis in cats. Otodectosis in cats (31%) is most widespread. This is due to commensals of the pathogen and the constant presence of it in the external auditory canal. The rest of the diseases takes from 5 to 10% of the extensiveness of the invasion. Notoedrosis of cats is a highly contagous disease and more common in cats who have come into contact with stray animals and may have contracted through direct contact. Parasitic otitis in rodents, caused by Psoroptes cuniculi, develop in individuals that are kept separately and were not part of a collective of animals. Likely, the main contagion happened from mothers, and in further animals were carriers of parasites. Under favorable conditions, the increased development of ticks led to the emergence of the disease. Scabies diseases were accompanied by the development of dermatitis of varying severity, itching with scratches and abrasions. The clinical picture is quite characteristic, but the basis for diagnosis is the detection and identification of the pathogen, as well as the calculation of the intensity of the invasion. To combat sarcoptoidosis pathogens, parenteral administration of ivermectin solutions of 1% and 0.1% was applied twice at 7-day intervals at a dose of 0.03 ml/kg of 1% solution and 0.3 ml/kg of 0.1% solution. 7 days intensefficiency of drugs accounted for 69–85% and for 14 – 95–100%. The most effective drug was to fight Psoroptes cuniculi and Notoedres cati. Less intensefficiency of the drug in the fight against Otodectes cynotis may be associated with the biology of the mites and its commensals to the external auditory canal of cats.

Endoparasites of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Primorsky Krai, Russia

et al. 2022

Summary This study identified helminthic species among wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Primorsky Krai, Russia. In total, 66 fecal samples were taken from wild boars and examined using the floatation-sedimentation method to identify helminths eggs and protozoan cysts. Age and sex were estimated for each host animal investigated. The helminthic fauna of the wild boars examined involved six parasite genera, but 4 are helminths and 2 are protozoans: the nematodes Metastrongylus spp., Trichuris suis, Capillaria sp. and Ascaris suum; and the protozoan parasites Eimeria sp. and Cystoisospora suis. The most prevalent parasite was Metastrongylus spp. (13.6 %) followed by Trichuris suis (7.6 %). The other parasites found were Eimeria sp. (3 %), Ascaris suum (3 %), Capillaria sp. (1.5 %) and Cystoisospora suis (1.5 %). Not found positive correlation between the host’s age and sex and the parasite prevalence. This was the first detailed study on helminths infections among wild boars in Primorsky Krai.

The aim of the present study was to characterize the diversity of Metastrongylus spp. in wild boars and the earthworm intermediate host species contributing to the maintenance of the life cycle. Here, wild boars were subjected to parasitological necropsies, and lungworm species were identified morphologically, followed by confirmation using ITS-2 sequencing and a phylogenetic analysis. Earthworms were collected from wild boar habitats and investigated for the presence of larvae. The prevalence of Metastrongylus spp. in wild boars was 78.8%, and many individuals were positive for all three detected species, Metastrongylus pudendotectus, Metastrongylus salmi and Metastrongylus elongatus. The phylogenetic analysis did not clearly resolve all species, except for M. pudendotectus. Age group and season had no influence on prevalence, while intensity was significantly higher in autumn than in spring and summer (Kruskal–Wallis followed by Dunn’s test). Three out of six investigated earthworm species were positive for metastrongyloid larvae (prevalence of 10.4–16.7%), but neither their phylogenetic relationship nor ecological microhabitats were able to explain these differences. Further sequence data should be used to improve the resolution in phylogenetic trees to determine potential cryptic species in the genus, while the application of deep sequencing approaches might provide insights into species-specific epidemiology and pathology.
