Judul: Penyakit kudis pada kelinci ( Scabies ) dan cara penanggulangannya
Abstrak: Salah satu penyakit yang disebabkan oleh parasit terutama ektoparasit pada kelinci yang sering dijumpai adalah penyakit kudis. Kudis merupakan penyakit kulit yang sangat menular yang disebabkan oleh beberapa jenis tungau. Beberapa jenis tungau penyebab kudis yang telah diketahui antara lain Sarcoptes scabiei, Notoedres sp. dan Psoroptes sp. Hewan umur muda, hewan tua yang dipelihara dalam kondisi jelek merupakan faktor-faktor predisposisi bagi infestasi penyakit kudis. Infeksi meluas terutama oleh kontak dengan larva, nympha dan betina yang bunting. Tungau sangat peka terhadap kekeringan dan tidak dapat hidup lama pada hostnya dalam keadaan tersebut. Dalam penyebarannya lebih menyukai bagian tubuh yang tidak ditutupi banyak bulu seperti kepala dan telinga. Gejala klinis yang ditimbulkannya antara lain hewan menampakkan rasa gatal, gelisah dan selalu menggaruk-garuk badannya, kulit merah, menebal, ada exudat, bulu rontok dan kulit menjadi gundul. Apabila kasusnya parah maka hewan bisa mengalami kekurusan, dehidrasi dan akhirnya terjadi Kematian. Diagnosa didasarkan atas gejala klinis. Selain itu untuk lebih meyakinkan diagnosa dilakukan pemeriksaan mikroskopis dari bahan kerokan kulit. Tindakan pencegahan mencakup penempatan hewan di kandang yang bersih dan hangat, memberi makan yang bergizi baik. Untuk pemberantasan populasi tungau diperlukan tindakan isolasi hewan sakit, bulu-bulu atau rambut dicukur kemudian bagian kerak-kerak yang tebal dibersihkan dengan sabun dan air hangat dan dijaga terhadap kontak dengan hewan yang sehat. Obat-obat yang sering digunakan antara lain emulsi belerang, benzyl benzoat, Lindane, Tetmosol, Coumaphos dan Ivermectin.
