Abstract

Investigations done in a rural locality in Cluj county, on a 82 rabbit stock from house-holdings concerning possibilities of anatomic clinical and microscopic diagnosis of auricular scabies and also avermectines efficiency administrated by dropping directly on auricular skin (spot-on method), to fight against this kind of scabies, put in evidence the following aspects: anatomic clinical exams done on 82 rabbit stock reveal the presence of some auricular crust lesions in 18 animals (19,5 %), with intense pruritus and gratage character. From total animals with crust lesions 18,7 % (3 rabbits) present nervous troubles in different degrees of evolution. Auricular scabies extent in rabbit presents close values in the two age categories (19,6 % adults and 20,0 % young stock). The level of infestation intensity with Psoroptes communis var.cuniculi presents variations in correlation with age category. So, in adult rabbits is dominant medium infestation (45,4 %) and in young stock low infestations (60,0 %). On the other hand, massive infestations are maintained to high values in both age categories (36,3 % adults and 31,2 % young stock). Medicine products efficiency of avermectine type used to fight against auricular scabies is a very good one and using “spot-on” direct method is very convenient
