“…In Japan, mange outbreaks have been observed in raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) with high morbidity and mortality, and the animals debilitated by S. scabiei are often brought to veterinary hospitals and wildlife rescue facilities (Kido et al, 2013). Raccoon dog is a Canidae species native to Japan, and occupy a wide range of habitats including urban areas where many domestic/companion http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2015.06.023 0304-4017/© 2015 Elsevier B.V.

“…S. scabiei can also infect animal hosts, including cat [5], giraffe [6], pig [7], raccoon dog [8], rabbit [9], sheep [10], serow [11], and wolf [12], leading to major economic losses [13]. Scabies is a major problem in dogs, for example, approximately 20% of dogs in some regions of the Korea experiencing S. scabiei [14].…”

Little is known about the prevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei infection in pet dogs in China. In the present study, the prevalence of S. scabiei infection in pet dogs in Guangzhou, southern China, was investigated between January and December, 2009. A total of 3,977 pet dogs admitted to animal hospitals were examined for the presence of S. scabiei using a parasitological approach. The average prevalence of S. scabiei infection in pet dogs is 1.18% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.85–1.52%). The prevalence of S. scabiei was higher in winter (1.42%; 95% CI: 0.29–2.55%), summer (1.39%; 95% CI: 0.83–1.96%), and autumn (1.1%; 95% CI: 0.53–1.68%) than in spring (0.63%; 95% CI: 0.02–1.25%). Furthermore, the prevalence of S. scabiei was the highest in Pekingese (21.88%; 95% CI: 7.55–36.2%), followed by Papillon (5.26%; 95% CI: 0–11.06%) and Bichon Frise (3.19%; 95% CI: 0–6.75%). The results of the present investigation indicate that S. scabiei infection is prevalent in pet dogs in Guangzhou, China, which provides relevant “baseline” data for conducting control strategies and measures against scabies in this region and elsewhere in China. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive report of S. scabiei prevalence in pet dogs in China.

“…Raccoon dogs ( Nyctereutes procyonoides ) are a native species of Japan [14]. In Japan, many reports of S. scabiei infestation in raccoon dogs have been documented, and infestation was the cause of mortality for these animals [7, 12, 17]. The effectiveness of ivermectin for the treatment of S. scabiei has been studied in many different species, and ivermectin is recommended for animals infested with S. scabiei [8, 10, 15, 18].…”

“…In the wild, an S. scabiei outbreak might dramatically decrease the wildlife population [4, 7, 16]. In addition, a rapid change in one wildlife population might affect the population of other species [7]. Therefore, in case of an S. scabiei outbreak in the wild, treatment of S. scabiei -infected raccoon dogs and their reintroduction to the wild may help prevent a dramatic change in the wildlife population.…”

Effective Treatment for Improving the Survival Rate of Raccoon Dogs Infected with <i>Sarcoptes scabiei</i>

Sarcoptes scabiei is one of the important external parasites. Although ivermectin is the recommended treatment, many raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) that were rescued and brought to the Kanazawa Zoological Gardens (Yokohama, Japan) have died because of S. scabiei, even after receiving single ivermectin treatment. Therefore, supportive treatment should be required. The present study revealed the number of animals that survived was greater after the administration of ivermectin along with an antibiotic for all raccoon dogs, as well as following the administration of fluid therapy to the debilitated raccoon dogs infected with S. scabiei, immediately after the rescue. During the initial period, treatment to improve the general clinical condition was required prior to deworming treatment for S. scabiei.
