다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

For restrospective study of canine demodicosis in eight cases diagnosed at Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University between July 2002 and September 2005, incidences of breed, age, sex and season, distributions of clinical form and lesion and treatments protocol were compared. All of 8 dogs were pure breeds and an incidence of the short haired breeds or the dog with short hair clipped was high. It showed an incidence of 6~12 months of age was higher (75%) than above 12 months. Although there was no test for statistical differences on incidences of sex and season, the female had a much higher incidence than do male and incidences of spring and summer were higher than that of autumn or winter. On clinical form, many cases of generalized demodicosis were found and a distribution of juvenile-onset form was higher than that of adult-onset form. For the treatment protocols, an efficacy of ivermectin used orally was good (75%), but the dog with ivermectin sensitivity might be treated with amitraz shampoo or moxidectin topical solution. A therapeutic action on generalized demodicosis can be good by controling a secondary bacterial infection and underlying diseases and relapses must be prevented using continuous a skin scraping test.
