Demodicosis in dairy goats

J F Williams, C S Williams

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |January 15, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Demodectic mites caused nodular skin lesions in dairy goats. Perinatal transmission is suggested, with the condition appearing in offspring separated shortly after birth, indicating widespread demodicosis in Michigan.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Dermatology
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Demodicosis is a skin disease caused by Demodex mites.
    • Nodular demodicosis is less common than other forms.

    Observation:

    • Multiple nodular skin lesions were observed on a Saanen doe.
    • An identical condition developed in her daughter, born via C-section and separated at 24 hours.
    • Contact goats and goats at a local show also exhibited similar lesions.

    Findings:

    • Demodectic mites were identified as the cause of the nodular skin lesions.
    • The nodular form of demodicosis appears to be widespread in Michigan dairy goats.
    • Evidence suggests potential perinatal transmission of Demodex mites.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights the prevalence of nodular demodicosis in dairy goats.
    • Understanding transmission routes is crucial for disease management.
    • Further research into perinatal transmission can inform biosecurity measures.
