“…Treatment of sarcoptic mange with various acaricides like Diazinon, Fenvalerate, Deltamethrin and Avermectin (Campbell, 1989;Merck, 1991) has been attempted with different grades of success. Rapid development of resistance (Clark et al, 1996;Synge et al, 1995), high cost, environmental contamination (Halley et al, 1993;O'Brien, 1999) and health hazards to humans during treatment of animal (Das, 1996) are, however, the major problems associated with the use of synthetic acaricides. In view of these problems, use of botanical acaricides against skin problems like mange is visualized.…”

“…A number of herbal compound have been tried and it has been found that extract of Cedrus deodara and Pangamia glabra is quite effective against canine scabies (Das, 1996) experimentally infested dogs expressed successful adaptive immunity and cured themselves of Sarcoptes scabiei var canis infection after previously having scabies that required treatment to cure (Stemmer et al, 1996).…”

“…Treatment of mange with various acaricides like diazinon, fenvalerate, deltamethrin and avermectin has been attempted with different grades of success. Rapid development of resistance [24,25], high cost and environmental contamination [26,27] and health hazards to humans during treatment of animals [28] are the major problems associated with the use of synthetic acaricides. Concern about toxicity of many acaricides limits their use and reduces the number of safe effective products available.…”

This study was conducted to determine parasiticidal efficacy of seven ethnomedicinal plants against Sarcoptes scabiei var. caprae of goats using in vivo and in vitro techniques. In vitro techniques for evaluation of efficacy of medicinal plants essential oils and fixed oils of seven medicinal plant extracts diluted at different concentrations (essential oils from 2.5% to 0.15625% and fixed oils from 160 mg/ml to 5 mg/ml) were added to petridishes containing adult stage of Sarcoptes scabiei var. caprae. After 3 h of contact, all concentrations of essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus and Cymbopogon citractus showed a good in vitro acaricidal efficacy as compared with the non-treated controls (p<0.05). However, Nicotiana tobacum fixed oil had significant (P<0.05) effect at a concentration of 160 mg/ml and 80 mg/ml. Pyrethrum cineraria folium fixed oil showed lower acaricidal efficacy (P<0.05) in all the concentrations of the extract as compared to the reference drugs. In vivo techniques undertaken for evaluation of efficacy essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus and Cymbopogon citractus at a concentration of 0.625% in 2% Tween 80 on two groups of (six animals each) Sarcoptes scabiei var. caprae infested goats were topically treated two times at 14 days interval and its compared with non-treated and treated (diazinone and ivermectin) controls of six goats in each group. The infected goats treated with the essential oils were cured completely. Statistically insignificant (p>0.05) difference was never observed in mite count, Mean Recovery Response (MRR) and degree of Skin Lesion Quality (SLQ) between goats treated with plant extracts and those treated with diazinone and ivermectin. Therefore, Eucalyptus globulus and Cymbopogon citractus extracts should be licensed for the treatment of Sarcoptes scabiei var. caprae.
