Tavşanlarda Uyuz Tedavisi İçin Güncel Tedavi Uygulamaları

Tavşanlarda ektoparaziter deri hastalıkları sıklıkla görülmektedir. Bu ektoparaziter hastalıklar arasında uyuz hastalığı da tavşanlardaki en önemli deri hastalıklarından birisidir. Tavşanlarda Psoroptes cuniculienfestasyonu yaygın olarak, Sarcoptes cuniculi, Demodex cuniculi veNotoedres cuniculietkenlerine bağlı uyuz hastalığı da daha seyrek bir şekilde oluşmaktadır. Tavşanların kulak uyuzu etkeni olan Psoroptes cuniculideride büyük oyuklar açmadan, kulaklarda hiperemi ve eksudasyona ve deride yoğun bir irritasyona neden olan bir uyuz etkenidir. Demodex cuniculiile enfeste olan tavşanlarda çeşitli derecede deride kaşıntı görülebilir veya immunsupresif hayvanlarda ise deride kaşıntı görülmeden alopesiyle seyredebilmektedir. Sarcoptes scabiei var. cuniculive Notoedres cati var. cuniculitavşanlarda uyuza neden olan etkenler olarak rapor edilmiştir. Bu parazitler deri altından sarı renkte bir akıntının oluştuğu kaşıntılı bir dermatoza neden olabilmektedirler. Uyuz hastalığının tedavisinde ivermektin, selamektin, milbemisin oksim, deltametrin gibi antiparaziter ilaçlar kullanılmaktadır. Ancak son yıllarda ise daha çok kombine ya da bitkisel ekstratların kullanım alanına girdiği görülmektedir. Hastalığın tedavisi ile birlikte koruma tedbirlerinin uygulanması hastalığın ilerlemesini azaltmaktadır. Koruma tedbirleri olarak; işletmeye yeni alınan hayvanların profilaktif olarak antiparaziter uygulamalarının yapılması ve karantina tedbirlerinin uygulanması, hayvanların sıkışık, rutubetli, havasızalanlarda bakılmaması ve stres faktörlerinin azaltılması gibi faktörler sıralanabilmektedir.

Current Treatment Practices for the Treatment of Scabies in Rabbits

Ectoparasiticskin diseases are frequently seen in rabbits. Among these ectoparasitic diseases, scabies is one of the most important skin diseases in rabbits. Psoroptes cuniculiinfestation is common in rabbits, and scabies due to Sarcoptes cuniculi, Demodex cuniculi andNotoedres cuniculiare less common. Psoroptes cuniculi, which is the cause of ear scabies in rabbits, is a scabies agent that causes hyperemia and exudation in the ears and intense irritation on the skin without opening large cavities in the skin. Rabbits infested with Demodex cuniculimay experience varying degrees of skin itching, or in immunosuppressed animals, it may progress with alopecia without itching of the skin. Sarcoptes scabiei var. cuniculiand Notoedres cati var. cuniculihave been reportedas causative agents of mange in rabbits. These parasites can cause an itchy dermatosis, in which a yellowish discharge occurs under the skin. Antiparasitic drugs such as ivermectin, selamectin, milbemycin oxime and deltamethrin are used in the treatment of scabies. However, in recent years, it has been seen that more combined or herbal extracts have been used in practice. Implementation of preventive measures along with the treatment of the disease reduces the progression of the disease. For protection measures; factors can be listed as prophylactic antiparasitic applications and implementation of quarantine measures for newly recruited animals, not keeping animals in overcrowded, damp, and stuffy areas, and reduction of stress factors.
