Clinical examination and laboratory analysis were\n                   made on 304 sheep and 96 goats. The collected raw data were analyzed using\n                    <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mi>\u03c7<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:msup><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>-test. Out of the 400 sampled animals, 182 (45.5%) were infested\n                     with one or more ectoparasites. The prevalent ectoparasites observed were lice,\n                      ticks, <jats:italic>Ctenocephalides<\/jats:italic> species, <jats:italic>Melophagus ovinus<\/jats:italic>, and\n                       <jats:italic>Demodex<\/jats:italic> species. The infestation rates of ectoparasites with age and sex were\n                        significantly varied (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn mathvariant=\"normal\">0.05<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>) in sheep but not in goats (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&gt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn mathvariant=\"normal\">0.05<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>).

In our attempt, only two cases due to <jats:italic>Demodex<\/jats:italic> species were recorded in\n                           sheep. In conclusion, the prevalence of ectoparasites in the present study was high and this could affect the wellbeing\n                            and productivity of small ruminants. Therefore, to reduce ectoparasites prevalence and impact on the productivity and\n                             health status, planning of integrated control measures with sustainable veterinary services aiming at creating\n                              awareness about the importance and control of ectoparasites for livestock owners is required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/216085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,6]],"date-time":"2015-04-06T10:22:58Z","timestamp":1428315778000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Ectoparasites Prevalence in Small Ruminants in and around Sekela, Amhara Regional State, Northwest Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Zewdu","family":"Seyoum","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Gondar, P.O.
