“…3). These lesions were previously reported by Reddy et al (2013) and Jesse et al (2016). In the present study, haemogram of the infested goats revealed lower mean haemoglobin concentration and per cent lymphocytes compared to healthy goats.…”

“…Serum zinc and copper concentrations after treatment were increased, indicating the adequate nutritional anti -oxidant level in the body and health of the integumentary system. Jesse et al (2016) observed persistence of lesions even after the injection with ivermectin @ 200 μg/kg BW S/C for three weeks. Therefore, they continued the treatment with amitraz bath for three weeks and lesions were resolved.…”

Out of 34 caprine dermatological cases examined, 12 were detected positive for Chorioptes texanus. Pruritus, alopecia, crusts, thickening, wrinkling, cracks and fissures on legs, axillae, inguinal region and perineal region were the symptoms noticed in caprine chorioptic mange. In affected animals, reduction in haemoglobin concentration and per cent lymphocytes were noticed, along with elevation in the values of the total leukocyte count, per cent neutrophils and per cent monocytes. Values of serum glucose, zinc and copper were normal. All the 12 cases were treated with ivermectin at 10 days interval till two consecutive skin scrapings were negative for mites. In addition, all goats were treated with vitamin A supplements throughout the period. Six goats were treated topically with permethrin spray while other six animals were treated topically with lime sulphur spray. Both treatment protocols caused recovery of the animals from clinical symptoms, however, a skin scraping after 1 year revealed the presence of mites.
