Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the acaricidal efficacy of some essential oils/extracts against the itch mite, Sarcoptes scabiei infesting the pet dogs. The essential oils of Curcuma longa and Eucalyptus camaldulenses and hexane extract of Azadirachta indica were topically applied to the skin lesions of the pet dogs suffering from Canine scabies. Three formulations of each essential oil/extract (20, 10 & 5 % w/w, oil in emulsifying wax) were prepared and each formulation was tested for its therapeutic efficacy on weekly basis. The observed efficacy of each formulation was compared with the efficacy of the standard drug Ivermectin which was injected subcutaneously at the dose of 200 μg/Kg body weight to a group of of affected dogs. No significant difference was found between the efficacy of 20 % formulation of hexane extract of Azadirachta indica and the efficacy of the standard drug Ivermectin after 14 and 21 days of treatment. Azadirachta indica is easily available, low-cost and eco-friendly so this natural remedy can easily substitute the much expensive and toxic synthetic acaricides.
