An outbreak of sarcoptic mange was investigated in a herd of llamas and alpacas in the Black Forrest (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany). The diagnosis was made by clinical picture and detection of mites in skin scrapings and ear swabs. At the beginning numerous of Sarcoptes mites were found in the scraping samples. The llamas and alpacas were treated subcutaneously with 0,2 mg/kg bodyweight moxidectin every three weeks (2 mL per llama, 1,5 mL per alpaca). Because of the slow recovery of the South American Camelids it was necessary to repeat the treatment eight times. On days 0, 42, 84, 126, and 168, all animals were examined clinically, and epidermal debris were collected from both auricular areas and other body regions for microscopic examination. The alpacas recovered rapidly and mite counts declined steadily. Llamas showed a slower remission of mite counts and clinical condition. For complete healing of crusting skin reactions, and pruritus six months of treatment were necessary. Therapy of sarcoptic mange in South American Camelids with macrocyclic lactons usually takes a long duration of time.
在德国黑森林（巴登-符腾堡州）的一群美洲驼和羊驼中，爆发了痒螨病疫情。通过临床症状和皮肤刮片及耳拭子中螨虫的检测，做出了诊断。在最初的刮片样本中发现了大量痒螨。给美洲驼和羊驼每三周皮下注射 0.2 毫克/公斤体重的莫昔克丁（每只美洲驼 2 毫升，每只羊驼 1.5 毫升）。由于南美骆驼的恢复缓慢，需要重复治疗 8 次。在第 0、42、84、126 和 168 天，所有动物都进行了临床检查，并从耳区和其他身体部位采集表皮碎屑进行显微镜检查。羊驼恢复迅速，螨虫数量稳步下降。而美洲驼的螨虫数量和临床状况缓解较慢。要完全治愈结痂皮肤反应和瘙痒，需要治疗六个月。用大环内酯类药物治疗南美骆驼的痒螨病通常需要很长时间。
