The first case of demodectic mange in the Czech Republic was diagnosed in a domestic White Shorthaired goat. A total of 128 solid protruding nodules were found on lateral parts of the neck and trunk and on proximal parts of the limbs. A pasty, creamy mass containing immature and adult mites could be pressed out of the nodules. Parasitological examinations identified the mites as Demodex caprae. Antiparasitic treatment was started with the pyrethroid deltamethrine (Butox R 7.5 Pour On). Ten ml of the drug were poured onto the back of the animal twice within an interval of 7 days. The next drug tested was another pyrethroid, Neostomosan R sol. ad us. vet. containing tetramethrine and transmix. The animal was bathed twice within an interval of 14 days in a 1:400 dilution. The mites survived the treatments, the size of nine of the nodules (4.5 to 6.8 mm), remained unchanged. The third drug tested was amitraz (Taktic R). Seven baths with 10-day intervals in the drug diluted 1:400 resulted in the decrease of the number of nodules to 83 (by 35.2 %). No movements of the mites were observed on day 56 after the treatment, but the immature stages probably survived.
