PECULIARITIES OF EPIZOOTIC SITUATION ON DOMESTIC ANIMALS’ ACARIASES IN OB (NOVOSIBIRSK REGION)

Abstract

The paper studies the level of feline and canine acariases in Ob town by means of seasonal characteristics, age features and breed factors. The research reveals such acariases as otoacariasis, sacroptic mange, demodecosis, notoedric mange and cheyletiellosis. Otoacariasis appeared to be the most dominating disease; and cheyletiellosis appeared to be the rarest one. Otoacariasis occurred in domestic cats; and dogs have breed disposition caused by canine ear. Mostly the dogs suffer from demodecosis and cats rarely suffer from this disease. Sacroptic mange is more often observed in cats and notoedric mange is the only acariasis appeared in cats. Cheyletiellosis is a rare disease and it is impossible to declare about its yearly and seasonal dynamics, and breed disposition as well. The researchers observed reducing in feline and canine suffering from acariases during 8 years. The data on age disposition to acariases certify the young animals more often suffer from the diseases. The paper represents data of aged up to 1 flesh-eaters suffering from otoacariases, exactly 32.3 % of cats and 19.1 % of dogs. Flesh-eaters aged from 1 to 3 suffer from sacroptic mange and notoendric mange, exactly 6.8 % of cats and 4.6 % of dogs; invasion intensity of dogs suffered from demodecosis is 19.1 %.  The analysis of acariases seasonal dynamics shows the animals mostly suffer from the diseases in spring.
