Abstract

Severe cases naturally infested with sarcoptic and psoroptic mange were subjected to treatment with a single subcutanous dose of 200 ug/kg. b.w. Therapy resulted in clinical cure and complete elemination of the parasite. Rabbits infested experimentally with different stages of psoroptic mite produced characteristic mange lesions, while experi mental induction of the disease failed in the previously treated rabbits.
