Members of the Camelidae family are very adaptable mammals, originating from South America. More recently, they have become popular in Europe as pets or wool production farm animals. Their dermatological problems refer mainly to mange, of which sarcoptic mange represent the most clinically relevant form. There is a wide range of molecules effective against sarcoptic mange, but the treatment is very challenging due to the lack of efficiency and absorption. Two cases from two different animal populations were described. A female alpaca from Romania with dermatological problems on the ears and two adult llamas, from Italy, both with intense pruritus. Combined treatment with amitraz and subcutaneous eprinomectin was administered for the alpaca, and 2% moxidectin was given to the llamas. In both cases, the mites were morphologically identified as . For the alpaca, negative scrapings were found only after 8 weeks of combined treatment. For the llamas, after four doses of subcutaneous moxidectin, no mites were detected in scrapings and lively hair regrowth of previously alopecic areas was visible. This paper aimed to present two clinical scenarios of sarcoptic mange in camelids, successfully treated with a combination of ectocides (topical amitraz and subcutaneous eprinomectin) and 2% subcutaneous moxidectin, respectively.
骆驼科动物是适应性很强的哺乳动物，原产于南美洲。最近，它们在欧洲作为宠物或产毛农场动物而变得很受欢迎。它们的皮肤问题主要是疥螨病，其中犬疥螨病是临床上最常见的形式。有多种分子对犬疥螨病有效，但由于疗效不佳和吸收问题，治疗极具挑战性。本文描述了来自两个不同动物群体的两个病例。一只来自罗马尼亚的雌性羊驼耳部有皮肤问题，还有两只来自意大利的成年美洲驼，均有剧烈瘙痒。对羊驼采用双甲脒和皮下注射伊维菌素的联合治疗，对美洲驼使用2%的莫西菌素。在这两个病例中，螨虫在形态学上均被鉴定为……对于羊驼，联合治疗8周后刮片检查才呈阴性。对于美洲驼，皮下注射四次莫西菌素后，刮片中未检测到螨虫，先前脱毛区域可见毛发明显再生。本文旨在介绍骆驼科动物犬疥螨病的两个临床病例，分别成功地用杀螨剂（外用双甲脒和皮下注射伊维菌素）和2%皮下注射莫西菌素进行了治疗。
