BackgroundSarcoptes scabiei infection is a contagious disease affecting both humans and animals. The transmission occurs either by direct contact or from the environment where mites could survive several days remaining infective. The number of products available for environmental control of S. scabiei is very limited. The objective of the present study was to assess the efficacy of biocides or repellents against S. scabiei var suis.MethodsTested products included pyrethroids: permethrin, esdepallethrin and bioresmethrin, bifenthrin, cypermethrin and imiprothrin, cyfluthrin, tetramethrin and sumithrin. We also tested repellents: DEET, icaridin and IR3535. Sarcoptes scabiei var suis mites were collected from experimentally-infected pigs. For each test, 20 live mites of all motile stages were placed in a plastic Petri dish and sprayed uniformly by each product. Control mites were sprayed by distilled water. The study was performed in triplicate under room conditions and the mites were inspected under a stereomicroscope at intervals (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60xa0min, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 24xa0h) after exposure to the products.ResultsAll the products, except the combination of tetramethrin and sumithrin (A-PAR®), were able to kill all mites within 24xa0h. The median survival time was 50u2009±u200930.4xa0min, 120u2009±u2009309xa0min, 10u2009±u20095.9xa0min, 40u2009±u200936.8xa0min, 15u2009±u20097.3xa0min, 180u2009±u2009417xa0min and 1440u2009±u2009600xa0min when mites were exposed to permethrin 4xa0%, permethrin 0.6xa0%, esdepallethrin and bioresmethrin, bifenthrin, cypermethrin and imiprothrin, cyfluthrin, tetramethrin and sumithrin, respectively. The median survival time was 20u2009±u20096.5xa0min, 15u2009±u20094.3xa0min, 30u2009±u200942.1xa0min and 15u2009±u20094.9xa0min for DEET 25, DEET 50, icaridin 20 and IR3535 20xa0%, respectively.ConclusionsThe results of the present study could support evidence-based use of biocides and repellents in households, hospitals and farms.

BackgroundThe development of alternative approaches in ectoparasite management is currently required. Essential oils have been demonstrated to exhibit fumigant and topical toxicity to a number of arthropods. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential efficacy of ten essential oils against Sarcoptes scabiei.MethodsThe major chemical components of the oils were identified by GC-MS analysis. Contact and fumigation bioassays were performed on Sarcoptes mites collected from experimentally infected pigs. For contact bioassays, essential oils were diluted with paraffin to get concentrations at 10, 5, and even 1% for the most efficient ones. The mites were inspected under a stereomicroscope 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180min after contact. For fumigation bioassay, a filter paper was treated with 100xa0μL of the pure essential oil. The mites were inspected under a stereomicroscope for the first 5min, and then every 5min until 1h.ResultsUsing contact bioassays, 1% clove and palmarosa oil killed all the mites within 20 and 50min, respectively. The oils efficacy order was: cloveu2009>u2009palmarosau2009>u2009geraniumu2009>u2009tea treeu2009>u2009lavenderu2009>u2009manukau2009>u2009bitter orangeu2009>u2009eucalyptusu2009>u2009Japanese cedar. In fumigation bioassays, the efficacy order was: tea treeu2009>u2009cloveu2009>u2009eucalyptusu2009>u2009lavenderu2009>u2009palmarosau2009>u2009geraniumu2009>u2009Japanese cedaru2009>u2009bitter orangeu2009>u2009manuka. In both bioassays, cade oil showed no activity.ConclusionEssential oils, especially tea tree, clove, palmarosa, and eucalyptus oils, are potential complementary or alternative products to treat S. scabiei infections in humans or animals, as well as to control the mites in the environment.

BackgroundScabies, or mange as it is called in animals, is an ectoparasitic contagious infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Sarcoptic mange is an important veterinary disease leading to significant morbidity and mortality in wild and domestic animals. A widely accepted hypothesis, though never substantiated by factual data, suggests that humans were the initial source of the animal contamination. In this study we performed phylogenetic analyses of populations of S. scabiei from humans and from canids to validate or not the hypothesis of a human origin of the mites infecting domestic dogs.MethodsMites from dogs and foxes were obtained from three French sites and from other countries. A part of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene was amplified and directly sequenced. Other sequences corresponding to mites from humans, raccoon dogs, foxes, jackal and dogs from various geographical areas were retrieved from GenBank. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using the Otodectes cynotis cox1 sequence as outgroup. Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analysis approaches were used. To visualize the relationship between the haplotypes, a median joining haplotype network was constructed using Network v4.6 according to host.ResultsTwenty-one haplotypes were observed among mites collected from five different host species, including humans and canids from nine geographical areas. The phylogenetic trees based on Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses showed similar topologies with few differences in node support values. The results were not consistent with a human origin of S. scabiei mites in dogs and, on the contrary, did not exclude the opposite hypothesis of a host switch from dogs to humans.ConclusionsPhylogenetic relatedness may have an impact in terms of epidemiological control strategy. Our results and other recent studies suggest to re-evaluate the level of transmission between domestic dogs and humans.

Patch testing following a standardized protocol is reliable for identifying the culprit drug in cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs). However, these patch tests (PTs) require pharmaceutical material and staff, which are not always easily available.

Deux papules arrondies douloureuses de 1 cm de diamètre d’âge différents étaient observées : l’une sur le dos de la main gauche, couleur chair, ombiliquée, à base indurée ; l’autre ulcéronécrotique sur le bras droit, avec à un bourrelet inflammatoire et un érythème périphérique, ainsi qu’une volumineuse adénopathie cervicale droite de 4 cm, des ulcérations de la langue et une fièvre à 40 ◦C. Résultats.— La CRP était à 57 mg/L, mais les prélèvements bactériologiques, les sérologies borréliose, bartonellose et pasteurellose étaient négatives. La biopsie cutanée montrait un effet cytopathogène à peine visible mais caractéristique des poxvirus : des inclusions intracytoplasmiques éosinophiles dans les kératinocytes (Corps de Guarneri). Le diagnostic était confirmé par PCR sur biopsie. On concluait à une zoonose à Cow-pox virus transmise par un rat, pour laquelle on effectuait une déclaration obligatoire à l’Agence régionale de santé. L’évolution était favorable avec des soins locaux, laissant à distance des cicatrices varioliformes. Discussion.— Le cow-pox virus est un orthopoxvirus, comme le virus de la variole. L’enquête sanitaire a permis de retrouver la source : un fournisseur de République tchèque. La souche virale était identique à celle de l’épidémie de 2009. Actuellement, les vecteurs sont les animaux domestiques mais surtout les nouveaux animaux de compagnie (NAC) comme les rats, qui peuvent présenter un tableau variant de l’état asymptomatique au décès. Il semblerait que la diminution de la couverture vaccinale pour la variole favorise la résurgence de ce virus voisin. Le diagnostic est fait par PCR ou microscopie électronique. Notre patiente présentait plusieurs lésions (dues à une auto-inoculation secondaire) et un tableau général inquiétant. Des formes sévères sont possibles ; elles concernent habituellement les sujets atopiques et immunodéprimés. Pour les formes graves, certaines thérapeutiques comme le cidofovir ou les immunoglobulines semblent apporter un bénéfice. Conclusion.— Il s’agissait d’un cas isolé d’infection à cow-pox virus transmis par un NAC. Il faut donc savoir évoquer ce diagnostic même face à des formes apparemment systémiques, face à l’arrivée des NAC et la diminution de la couverture vaccinale. L’objectif est de prévenir le risque d’infection bactérienne secondaire, traiter précocement les formes graves, et éviter la dissémination du virus. Déclaration d’intérêts.— Aucun.

Introduction et objectifs En 2006, nous avions rapporte une epidemie de « dermatite » atypique, evoquant des piqures d’arthropodes, mais aux caracteristiques cliniques inhabituelles et d’etiologie inconnue. Nous avons denomme « aspect en comete » cet aspect particulier de macule erythemateuse avec trajet lineaire. Au debut de l’ete 2007, a la suite de nouveaux cas nous avons donc debute une etude prospective des cas pour determiner l’agent causal dans ces « dermatites ». Materiels et methodes Il s’agissait d’une etude prospective. Tous les patients ayant des lesions compatibles avec des piqures d’arthropodes ont ete systematiquement examines avec en particulier la recherche d’un aspect en « comete ». Les sujets, chez lesquels cet aspect caracteristique etait retrouve, faisaient l’objet d’une investigation entomologique de leur domicile. Resultats De mai a septembre 2007, 42 sujets vivant dans 23 maisons, presentaient des lesions caracteristiques. Nous avons retrouve Pyemotes ventricosus, parasitant l’insecte Anobium punctatum (coleoptere xylophage) dans 12 des 14 maisons examinees. Par ailleurs l’infection experimentale par Pyemotes ventricosus etait a l’origine d’une maculo-papule prurigineuse. Par ailleurs des lesions typiques avec un aspect en comete etait retrouve chez deux investigateurs au cours de leurs prelevements au domicile des patients. Conclusion Nous decrivons une epidemie sevissant dans le sud de la France lors des etes 2006 et 2007, dont l’agent etiologique est Pyemotes ventricosus, parasite d’Anobium punctatum, insecte xylophage. Il s’agit d’une ectoparasitose tres probablement sous-estimee.
