Background: Farmers raise rabbits in abundance in Iraq. Scabies infestation is one of the most prevalent diseases in rabbits. The current study investigates the rabbits’ infestation with scabies that cause severe complications such as itchy alopecia, hyperkeratosis, anorexia, self-trauma, and weight loss. In short, the disease has high morbidity and mortality and creates heavy economic losses for farmers. Objectives: This study was designed to detect mange infestation in rabbits using microscopic examination of skin scraping. This study is the first to investigate mange infestation in rabbits in Mosul City, Iraq. Methods: A total of 130 rabbits were examined, and their skin lesions were scraped. Results: Of 130 rabbits, 56(43.1%) were infested with mange, including Sarcoptes scabiei var. cuniculi (n=50, 38.5%), Psoroptes cuniculi (n=32, 25%), Notoedres cati var. cuniculi (n=26, 20%), Demodex cuniculi (n=12, 9%), and Cheyletiella spp. (n=4, 3%), with the high infestation rate for S. scabiei var. cuniculi and the lowest rate for Cheyletiella spp. The significant lesions were hyperkeratosis followed by alopecia, then pruritus on many body areas (head, ears, abdomen, back, legs, tail, and perineal area). The highest infestation rate was found on the abdomen and back, while the lowest was on the tail and perineal area. There are significant differences according to age, while no significant differences between the males and females and among three types of infestation (single, double, and mixed). Conclusion: The rabbits were infested with several species with different percentages. There was no significant difference in infestation rates between males and females, although there was a difference between younger and older animals. Lastly, a significant difference was clear among the three types of infestation, and the double one was the dominant infestation rate with 50%.

“…Poor hygienic condition and overcrowding are important factors for Sarcoptes scabiei infestation in rabbits, this disease can cause severe pruritis, crust formation. Severe morbidity and economic losses occur without treatment of the infested cases (Rao et al, 2020). External application of organophosphates, and injection of Ivermectin are effective methods against mange of rabbits (Abdallah et al, 2023).…”

Rabbits are one of the most important animals in the world, mite infestations are commonly spread among rabbits through direct skin contact or contact with the environment, causing severe economic losses. the study aimed to evaluate the effects of two plant extracts (neem and pomegranate peels) against Sarcoptes scabiei infection in rabbits. a total of 20 rabbits of locally two different breeds were grouped into 5 groups, where: the 1 st group served as a control healthy. The 2 nd group was neem treated, the 3 rd group was the pomegranate peel treated, and the 4 th group was the Ivermectin treated, the last group was the infested non treated. Growth performance, immunological parameters, antioxidant assay and tissue histopathology of the rabbit groups were evaluated to determine the efficacy of both plant extracts on S. scabiei infection. The parasitological examination of the three treated groups revealed the absence of S. scabiei in all rabbits under treatment, and there is significant improvement in immunological state and histopathological picture when compared with the infested non treated group. Conclusively, pomegranate peel and neam extracts proved their competence as a natural product against Sarcoptes scabiei infestation

Mange in rabbits is an economically important parasitic disease which cause significant loss in productivity, body weight and fur quality. Forty eight rabbits with clinical signs of alopecia, anorexia, pruritis, skin erosions and dry crust like lesions on extremities, ears, nose and face were brought to Veterinary Clinical Complex, Rajendranagar and Hyderabad. Skin scrapings were collected, processed and examined under microscope to detect mite infestation. Different mites i.e. Sarcoptes scabiei, Psoroptes cuniculi, Notoedres cuniculi, Demodex cuniculi and Cheyletiella parasitivorax were noticed in rabbits. Haematological examination revealed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in haemoglobin, PCV, RBC count and a significant (p<0.05) increase in TLC count in affected rabbits. Serum analysis showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in ALT and AST levels in infected rabbits. Treatment with ivermectin along with proper management resulted in recovery from mange in rabbits.
