Mange is a serious problem, negatively affects the economic yield of all animal breeding sections including camel breeding
This work aimed to study the most important cliniopathological changes associated with camel mange as well as ivermectin administration in infested camels with especial reference to the serum iron (SI), ferritin, total antioxidants capacity (TAC) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9) importance as markers for the disease and treatment monitoring
Animals After the ethical approval of Animal and Poultry Health Department, Desert Research Center (DRC), Cairo, Egypt, 20 non-pregnant she-camels (Camelus dromedarius, aged 3-4 years), weight 380-400 kg were divided into 2 groups: Control group (CG): 10 she-camels apparently-healthy
Summary
Mange is a serious problem, negatively affects the economic yield of all animal breeding sections including camel breeding. It is not lethal but the lowered body weights, damaged skin, decreased fertility rates and milk production usually detected in infested camels are economic losses cant be ignored. The high morbidity and re-infestation rates and subsequent expensive exhausted protocols used for the disease treatment and control. Camel mange has a zoonotic importance (Zahid, 2015; Jarso et al, 2018; Abdel-Saeed, 2020). Mange is one of the most important parasitic diseases of camels, characterized by scab formation, pruritic dermatitis, thickening and corrugation of skin and hair loss. Ivermectin is macrocyclic lactone which is 2020 | Volume 8 | Special Issue 2 | Page 34
