Abstract: La sarna es una enfermedad que ha desplazado a la caza furtiva como principal causa de muerte de las vicuñas, siendo Sarcoptes scabiei var. aucheniae el ectoparásito de mayor relevancia al presentarse con mayor frecuencia y generar lesiones de piel más severas, comprometiendo el bienestar y la salud del animal, hasta el punto de poder ocasionar la muerte. Ante la necesidad de mejorar el manejo sanitario de las vicuñas para reducir la presencia de sarna, es fundamental conocer la situación actual de esta enfermedad; por tal motivo, el presente proyecto tiene como objetivo determinar la “frecuencia de sarna en vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna) de comunidades campesinas de Cusco, Ayacucho y Apurímac”; para ello se logró capturar 1980 vicuñas en los “chaccus” durante los meses de junio a septiembre del 2021. Se evaluaron a todas las vicuñas capturadas, encontrando lesiones de piel compatibles con sarna en 154 animales, siendo estas seleccionadas para la recolección de muestras biológicas a través del raspado de piel, las cuales fueron enviadas al laboratorio de parasitología animal de la UPCH para la identificación del ectoparásito responsable de la enfermedad con el empleo del microscopio óptico. Todas las muestras analizadas resultaron positivas al ácaro Sarcoptes scabiei var. aucheniae, con una frecuencia de 7.4% de 1980 animales capturados. Se determinó que las comunidades campesinas pertenecientes al departamento de Ayacucho presentaron la mayor cantidad de sarna, siendo las hembras y los adultos los más afectados por esta enfermedad; además, las lesiones de piel fueron observadas principalmente en zonas del cuerpo con poca fibra (el vientre, las patas y la zona perianal). El estudio resalta la importancia de un buen manejo sanitario, la capacitación del personal sobre la enfermedad y el uso correcto de medicamentos para reducir la cantidad de animales afectados por la sarna.
Scabies is a disease that has displaced poaching as the main cause of death in vicuñas, with Sarcoptes scabiei var. aucheniae being the most relevant ectoparasite because it occurs more frequently and generates more severe skin lesions, compromising the animal's well-being and health, to the point of death. Given the need to improve the sanitary management of vicuñas to reduce the presence of mange, it is essential to know the current situation of this disease; for this reason, this project aims to determine the “frequency of mange in vicunas (Vicugna vicugna) in rural communities of Cusco, Ayacucho and Apurimac”, for this purpose, 1980 vicuñas were captured in the "Chaccus" during the months of June to September 2021. All the captured vicuñas were evaluated, finding skin lesions compatible with scabies in 154 animals, which were selected for the collection of biological samples through skin scraping, which were sent to the animal parasitology laboratory of the UPCH for the identification of the ectoparasite responsible for the disease with the use of an optical microscope. All the samples analyzed were positive for the Sarcoptes scabiei var. aucheniae mite, with a frequency of 7.4% of 1980 animals captured. It was determined that the rural communities belonging to the department of Ayacucho presented the greatest amount of scabies, with females and adults being the most affected by this disease; in addition, skin lesions were observed mainly in areas of the body with little fiber (belly, legs and perianal area). The study highlights the importance of good sanitary management and the correct use of medications to reduce the number of sick animals.
