First report of Cheyletiella sp. in domestic cats from Ecuador
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the presence of Cheyletiella sp. in domestic cats that attended the "Israel Veterinary Clinic", located in Cdla. Garzota 2 of the city of Guayaquil, which is characterized by treating cases of dermatopathies in felines. The casuistry of this study ran from February 5 to July 5, 2016; For the identification of the ectoparasite, the method of superficial scraping of the skin with mineral oil was used, through a descriptive-cross-sectional and prospective study. Of a total of 102 felines aged between 6 months and 8 years, 30 animals (29.41%) presented dermatitis due to mites, and 15 cases were due to Cheyletiella sp. (14.70%). On the other hand, 70 owners of domestic cats were interviewed, of which 3 (4.28%) presented cases of persistent dermatitis with priritus. This study reliably reports the first cases of infection by Cheyletiella spp. in Ecuador, where the current environmental conditions have contributed to the presentation of new parasitological cases, constituting an animal health and public health problem.
