FILCOVÁ, Kristýna
The literature review, which constitutes the theoretical framework of the bachelor thesis, was based on the study of scientific literature. It contains a summary of causes of scabies in pets (dogs, cats and small mammals) and shows basic information about their morphology, localization within the host, clinical symptoms they produce, and about the methods of diagnostics, therapy and prevention used. The theoretical part also summarizes the most commonly used veterinary antiparasitics in the Czech Republic and their active substances against the causes of scabies. The practical part focused on collecting and processing data of pets infected by scabies in years 2016 - 2020. Attention was paid to the frequency of the infections, the species of pets infected by specific scabies causes and the most common veterinary antiparasitics used against specific scabies species in particular pets. The pet species with the most common disease was cat, which was most commonly infected with Otodectes cynotis (ear mite). The most commonly applied veterinary drug in cats infected with O. cynotis was veterinary preparation Stronghold.
