Ear canals of 145 domestic goats including the breeds Saanen, Toggenburg, Anglobian, Alpine, Moxoto (native) and crossbred goats from 10 smallholder farms were examined by flushing for the presence of ear mites. Prevalence of Raillietia caprae Quintero, Bassols and Acevedo, 1980 was much more higher than Psoroptes ovis (Hering, 1838) in the studied area, respectively 62% (90/145) and 4% (6/145). The youngest animal parasitized was eight months old and the oldest was 10 years old. Subclinical otitis is a common feature of infestation by both species but increase of wax and the presence of pus were detected in the flushed material in approximately 10% of the goats examined.
对来自10个小农场的145只家山羊(包括萨能山羊、托根堡山羊、盎格鲁努比亚山羊、阿尔卑斯山羊、莫克索托本地山羊以及杂交山羊)的耳道进行冲洗检查,以确定是否存在耳螨。在研究区域,1980年的卡氏赖利绦虫(Raillietia caprae Quintero, Bassols and Acevedo)的感染率远高于痒螨(Psoroptes ovis (Hering, 1838)),分别为62%(90/145)和4%(6/145)。感染寄生虫的最年幼动物为8个月大,最年长的为10岁。亚临床中耳炎是这两种寄生虫感染的常见特征,但在约10%接受检查的山羊的冲洗材料中检测到耳垢增加和脓液存在。
