This case report describes the rapid transmission of sarcoptic mange, a highly contagious skin disease caused by the mite , from one dromedary camel to a group of other dromedary camels and a group of human beings despite wearing personal protective equipment. This is the first report on an outbreak of human pseudoscabies in the United Arab Emirates, and it highlights the importance of a One Health approach managing zoonotic diseases. Early detection, treatment of infected animals, as well as adherence to hygiene and quarantine protocols are crucial to prevent zoonotic spillovers.
本病例报告描述了疥螨引起的高度传染性皮肤病——疥癣,如何在一只单峰骆驼身上迅速传播到一群其他单峰骆驼以及一群人身上,尽管这些人穿戴了个人防护装备。这是阿拉伯联合酋长国关于人类假疥疮爆发的首份报告,它凸显了采用“同一健康”方法管理人畜共患病的重要性。早期检测、治疗受感染动物以及遵守卫生和检疫规程对于预防人畜共患病传播至关重要。
