Abstract

Cheyletiellosis is a very common infestation in pet rabbits that causes dermatosis with pruritus and scale. In this study, thirty two rabbits with cheyletiellosis were treated with a single dermal application of a formulation containing imidacloprid 10% (w/v) and moxidectin 1% (w/v) at a dose 0.4 ml. The therapeutic effects of the formulation were 100% at 4, 8 and 12 weeks without adverse reactions. This suggests that a formulation containing imidacloprid and moxidectin is an effective treatment for cheyletiellosis in rabbits.

애완토끼에서 털응애증은 가려움증과 비듬을 동반한 피부염을 유발하는 가장 흔한 외부 기생충이다. 본 연구에서 털응애에 감염된 총 32두의 애완 토끼에 imidacloprid 10% (w/v)와 moxidectin 10% (w/v) 합제 0.4ml를 적용하였다. 적용한 합제의 치료율은 4, 8 및 12주에 각각 100%이었으며, 부작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구에서 imidacloprid와 moxidectin 합제는 토끼의 털응애 치료에 효과적이었다.
