Abstract:

 Dermal infection of the head and neck region of members of a flock of local sheep at Victory Farm, Tripoli was the result of infection with the mite Sarcoptes scabiei and two species of Trichophyton. Infected animals became emaciated and weak and economic losses occurred. These species are zoonotic and can infect man, posing a public health threat. Psoroptes ovis was also isolated from the fleece of sheep. The recommended drug Asuntol to treat the mite infestations was not available and treatment with Gammetox was ineffective, demonstrating resistance to this drug.
