PREVALENCE AND TREATMENT REGIMEN OF MANGE INFESTATION IN CANINES OF KATHMANDU VALLEY MINI-THESIS by Dr. Yugal R. Bindari, Himalayan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology
Editors Note: This article is a departure from our usual topics, while the study took place in Nepal there are those here in Wisconsin that would find this fascinating. Our thanks to Dr. Bindari for submitting his thesis to our publication. While we would like to print his entire thesis in our publication we are only presenting you the Abstract and Introduction here, the entire work will be available on the Pet Journal website (www.petjournalmidwest.com) around the 10th of June (look for the link just below the picture of the calf, left, which will appear on the website at the same time). In the future, Pet Journal will bring you more reports as they are submitted and reviewed for publication. If you have any questions or submissions please contact the editor.

A study on prevalence and treatment regimen of mange infestation was conducted in canines of Kathmandu valley from September 2010 - December 2010. A total of 120 samples of suspected positive cases were taken from the dogs for study. Out of total samples collected, 60 were from owned dogs (CVH- 30, Mount Everest Kennel Club- 22 and Vet. Clinic8) and 60 from stray dogs (KAT- 30 and Animal- Nepal-30). The result showed that 56% and 67 % sample were positive for mites in owned and stray dogs respectively.
