[Continuous serologic study and sanitation inspection of Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis infection: preliminary results].
Pig mange was investigated serologically with ELISA using Chekit Sarcoptest. The test consists of a homogenized antigen of Sarcoptes scabiei var. vulpes. A total of 356 sows sera samples were collected from 16 mange free breeding units and 19 units with clinical manifestation of mange infestation. The specificity of the test was 99.34% and the mean sensitivity value was 62%. This test will allow in the future not only the rapid and certain diagnosis of pig mange but also the screening of the pig breeding units after eradication of the disease.
