Description
Summary:The purpose of the research is to study the epizootic situation on arachnoentomosis of dogs in Stavropol.Materials and methods. In total, 2,296 dogs with skin lesions were examined in medical clinics in 2021 to 2023. Of these, 1,539 had dermatitis of parasitic etiology. Acarosis was diagnosed from epizootic data, clinical picture analysis, and skin examinations by inspection analysis using the express method and microscopic examination of skin scrapings in case of deep lesions. We analyzed veterinary reporting data in Stavropol for 2021–2023.Results and discussion. It was found that parasitic dermatitis occurred annually in 490–510 dogs; helminthosis, in 150– 190 animals; and protozoa, in 190–210 dogs. During periods of abrupt changes of weather, the number of sick animals increased. Skin diseases caused by fleas progressed most, followed by dermatitis caused by itch mites of the genus Demodex, Sarcoptes, and Otodectes, and then ixodid ticks.
