In the present study, the efficacy of water-free neem seed extract shampoo Wash Away Louse, provided by Alpha-Biocare GmbH, Düsseldorf (Germany), was investigated against Sarcoptes scabiei infesting dogs in Egypt. Ten naturally infested dogs were collected from different areas in the Nile delta. The occurrence of lesions, hair loss, and skin inflammation were regarded as signs of infestation and proved by detection of adult parasites and their developmental stages in scrapings of infested lesions. Adequate amount of the provided shampoo was applied topically and spread on the infested areas daily for 14 successive days. Scraping examinations were used to follow up the healing process. At day 7 of application, four dogs were completely free of mites as was proven by the disappearance of adults and/or any developmental stages of mites. The remaining six dogs showed a clear decrease in mite counts. By the end of the treatment (after 14 days), only a small number of mites were found in two dogs, while eight dogs were completely cured as was proven by mite counts and disappearance of clinical signs. No remarkable signs of side effects or adverse reactions were observed throughout the study.
在本研究中，对德国杜塞尔多夫的Alpha-Biocare GmbH公司提供的无水印楝籽提取物洗发水Wash Away Louse针对埃及感染疥螨的犬只的疗效进行了调查。从尼罗河三角洲的不同地区收集了10只自然感染的犬只。将出现病变、脱毛和皮肤炎症视为感染迹象，并通过在感染病变的刮片中检测成虫寄生虫及其发育阶段来证实。每天在感染部位局部涂抹适量的提供的洗发水，并连续涂抹14天。采用刮片检查来跟踪愈合过程。在应用第7天时，四只犬只完全没有螨虫，这通过成虫和/或螨虫任何发育阶段的消失得到证实。其余六只犬只的螨虫数量明显减少。到治疗结束时（14天后），仅在两只犬只中发现少量螨虫，而八只犬只完全治愈，这通过螨虫计数和临床症状的消失得到证实。在整个研究过程中未观察到明显的副作用或不良反应迹象。
