Between and 45% and 60% of the oryx showed unrest and pruritus. Sarcoptes scabiei was detected at necropsy of six adult animals. Treatment with ivermectin-medicated pellets at 0.3 mg\/kg estimated body weight over two periods of 7 d with a 14-d interval between treatments resulted in improved body and skin condition and hair regrowth. Although severe hyperkeratosis was still present shortly after treatment, no live Sarcoptes mites were found in parasitological examination of skin scrapings of two necropsied animals. By 4 mo post treatment the oryx had returned to normal body condition and coat condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-22-00180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,24]],"date-time":"2023-10-24T06:31:25Z","timestamp":1698129085000},"page":"791-795","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An Outbreak of Sarcoptic Mange in Free-Ranging Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx) in the United Arab Emirates, and Treatment with Ivermectin-Medicated Pelleted Feed"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Ajithkumar","family":"Thrivikraman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hatta Conservation, PO Box 5388, Hatta, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Wernery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, PO Box 597, Dubai, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vijay","family":"Baskar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, PO Box 597, Dubai, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatma Graiban","family":"Almheiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, PO Box 597, Dubai, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rolf K.","family":"Schuster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, PO Box 597, Dubai, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ML Rowe, PL Whiteley, S Carver,  \"Parasit Vectors.\"  12, \"The treatment of sarcoptic mange in wildlife: a systematic review.\" 99 (2019)","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-019-3340-z"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"M Zahler, A Essig, R Gothe, et al.  \"Int J Parasitol.\"  29, \"Molecular analyses suggest monospecificity of the genus Sarcoptes (Acari: Sarcoptidae).\" 759 (1999)","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7519(99)00034-X"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"T.
