“…Based on the morphology, circular body, small legs, with prolonged unjointed pedicels, with a short square rostrum, suckers on legs 1 and 2 and a dorsal anus, females are about 225μm in length and males about 150μm, the mites isolated were identified as Notoedres cati (Taylor et al 2015). On the other hand, the clinical manifestations observed as alopecia, erythema, scales, crusts, was and hyperkeratosis on the head and pinnae and malodorous from lesions is agreed with other reports (Reddy and Sivajothi 2014;Sivajothi et al 2015a;Ngetich 2019;Stevanović et al 2019). The application of products other than ivermectin has been shown to have positive effects on the recovery of the patient in feline scabies (Senthil et al 2008;Reddy and Sivajothi 2014;Sivajothi et al 2015b).…”

“…The present study reports notoedric mange in a domestic short haired cat in Colombia. Several studies has been reported about notoedric mange in domestic cats (Sivajothi et al 2015b;Ngetich 2019;Stevanović et al 2019). Based on the morphology, circular body, small legs, with prolonged unjointed pedicels, with a short square rostrum, suckers on legs 1 and 2 and a dorsal anus, females are about 225μm in length and males about 150μm, the mites isolated were identified as Notoedres cati (Taylor et al 2015).…”

“…The clinical manifestations of notoedric mange are principally lack of hair and marked hyperkeratosis with large amount of epidermal flakes (Bowman 2014). It is a cosmopolitan disease and has been reported by several authors (Sivajothi et al 2015b;Ngetich 2019;Stevanović et al 2019). On the other hand, the application of products other than ivermectin has been shown to have positive effects on the recovery of the patient in feline scabies (Senthil et al 2008;Reddy and Sivajothi 2014;Sivajothi et al 2015b).…”

Feline scabies is a disease that is caused by Notoedres cati, a sarcoptic mite that injures the skin tissue. The present clinical case relates a notoedric scabies in a domestic cat, clinical observations, diagnostic test, and treatment. A 4-year-old male neutered domestic short haired cat was brought at a veterinary clinic. Alopecia, erythema, scales, crusts and hyperkeratosis were observed on the head, and pinnae and malodorous from lesions were observed in dermatological examination. Deep skin scrapings were collected. Microscopic examination revealed adult live mites presence. Based on the morphology, the mites isolated were identified as Notoedres cati. Ivermectin oral capsules (300µg/kg), repeat dose at 14 days. Bath with chlorhexidine and Benzoyl peroxide every 5 days for two months were applied. Moreover, multivitamin complexes were supplied daily, orally. An immunostimulant 1mL/10kg. IM, again applied two days. A clinical improvement in the cat was observed after administered this treatment. The present study reports notoedric mange in a domestic short haired cat in Colombia. The application of ivermectin with supportive therapy was useful in the treatment of notoedric scabies in this cat. The application of products other than ivermectin showed positive clinical observations in the recovery of this patient with feline scabies.

“…It is important to emphasize that a more comprehensive epizootiological examination is needed to determine the real distribution of sarcoptic mange in wild and domestic carnivores in our area. In Republic of Srpska, the presence of sarcoptides has been also confirmed -Notoedres cati in domestic cats (Stevanović et al, 2019).…”

This paper describes a case of generalized sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) in a stray dog found in the Kotor Varoš Municipality. Clinical and dermatological examinations revealed the suspicion of Sarcoptic mange in the dog, which was confirmed by the finding of eggs and adult forms of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis. As a secondary complication of mange, the presence of staphylococcal pyotraumatic folliculitis was determined. Hematological examination revealed anemia and leukocytosis. In basic therapy, 0.4 mg/kg of ivermectin was administered parenterally, with cephalexin administered orally at a dose of 40 mg/kg every 12 hours. The therapy lasted 30 days. Control examinations did not reveal parasitic elements in the scraped surface layer of the skin. In the discussion of this paper, the epizootiological characteristics of the disease and the list of dog`s skin diseases, that should be distinguished from sarcoptic mange in everyday practice, are presented.

“…Mites belonging to the genera Notoedres, Psoroptes, and Sarcoptes can be found in hedgehogs [12]. Notoedres cati and Otodectes cynotis have often been identified in hedgehogs and authors have suggested the contact with domestic cats as source of infection [3,[39][40][41][42]. Sarcoptes spp.…”

The genus Erinaceus is commonly found in rescue centres across the European continent despite the reported decline in some countries. Parasite infections are frequently detected in rescued hedgehogs, leading to increased morbidity and mortality and consequently conditioning their recovery. Some of the most frequent parasites include respiratory nematodes, such as Crenosoma striatum and Capillaria spp., which may lead to important pneumonia. Moreover, some of these agents have zoonotic potential, such as Cryptosporidium spp., Sarcoptes spp., and several species of ticks and fleas, which may transmit different vector-borne pathogens. This review provides a brief guide on hedgehogs’ internal and external parasitology, as well as some suggestions for diagnosis and treatment that are relevant for wildlife veterinarians, biologists and other researchers.
