Shower dipping in diazinon or cypermethrin dipwash to control ovine psoroptic mange (sheep scab)

Therapeutic Options in Management of a Clinical Case of Chorioptic Mange in a Goat

“…Management of mange infestation may be challenging and warrant the use of several treatment options as was observed in this case. of treating scabies in goats (Bates et al, 2005). In this case report, two chemotherapeutic agents were used to manage chorioptic mange infestation in a goat.…”

Diagnosis and treatment of sheep scab

“… ▪ plunge dip for at least one minute while submerging the sheep's head at least twice; ▪ adherence to replenishment rates and refilling dipping baths is essential; ▪ showers and jetters are not effective and the use of an OP in this way is not permitted (Bates 1999, Bates and others 2005, Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep [SCOPS] 2019); ▪ sheep dipped correctly are protected from reinfestation with sheep scab for at least eight weeks, making cooperation between contiguous farms more practical; ▪ full application to all guidelines for the protection of human health and the environment are required when using and disposing of OP dip (see useful resources).…”

Controlling sheep scab by eradication

“…Effective use of macrocyclic lactones for the control of sheep scab is complex because these drugs do not kill mites immediately, the persistence of the different drugs against scab mites varies (O'Brien and others 2001) and accurate injection of every sheep in a flock cannot be ensured. Compromises involving the application of acaricides through shower dippers, jetting races or pour‐ons are both ineffective for the control of sheep scab and irresponsible (Bates and others 2005). It is therefore clear that effective control of sheep scab using acaricides will become unachievable within the foreseeable future.…”
