This letter comments on the article "The treatment of sarcoptic mange in wildlife: a systematic review" published in Parasites & Vectors 2019, 12:99, and discusses the limitations in the use of endectocides for scabies control in free-ranging wildlife. The ecological impact and drug resistance to ivermectin are also discussed. In our view, scabies control in free-ranging wildlife should be based preferably on population management measures, and whether to apply individual treatments to free-ranging populations should be considered very carefully and avoided where not absolutely warranted.
这封信是对发表在《寄生虫与载体》2019 年第 12 卷第 99 期的文章“野生动物疥疮的治疗:系统评价”的评论,并讨论了在控制野生动物中使用伊维菌素治疗疥疮的局限性。还讨论了伊维菌素的生态影响和抗药性。在我们看来,控制野生动物中的疥疮应优先基于种群管理措施,是否对野生动物种群进行个体治疗应非常谨慎考虑,并且在没有绝对必要的情况下应避免使用。
