“…Meetings, reports and articles were used to increase awareness of this condition in cattle to private veterinary surgeons, the farming industry and to other government veterinary agencies and committees. (Jones and others 2008, Anon 2009, Mitchell 2010, Millar and others 2011). This practice is still continued.…”

The clinical signs, treatments used and spread of psoroptic mange in cattle from October 2007 until March 2011 are described. The disease was first diagnosed in South West Wales, having not been reported in Great Britain since the 1980s. The likely source was identified as a farm that had imported two animals from mainland Europe in the summer of 2006. Since that time, disease has been diagnosed on a further 22 premises, the majority in South West Wales but also in South East and Mid Wales and on one farm in England. Bought in animals harbouring the Psoroptes species mite but not showing clinical signs were considered the greatest risk of introducing the infestation into a herd. This, together with the difficulties of treatment to eliminate the parasite, means that it is unlikely that this outbreak has been controlled. There is also a continuing threat of importing the disease from abroad. The disease is not notifiable in the UK.

“…These mites are highly sensitive to macrocyclic lactones, and so they may be relatively uncommon due to the widespread use of such products in cattle. Mange in cattle is usually assumed to be due to Chorioptes mites, although psoroptic mange also needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis in cattle showing skin lesions with severe pruritus (Millar and others 2011). …”

“…The species of mite that causes psoroptic mange in cattle is morphologically indistinguishable from the Psoroptes ovis responsible for sheep scab and is currently referred to as the cattle adapted strain of Psoroptes species (Mitchell and others 2012). Occasional cases have been reported from Ireland (DAFM 2009, 2010) and Great Britain (Millar and others 2011), but until recently there had been no diagnosis made in cattle in Scotland since the early 1980s (Linklater and Gillespie 1984). …”
