In the U.K., where sheep scab is endemic, neither the disease nor the mites appear to be transmitted from sheep to cattle or goats. Geographic Distribution Sheep scab has been eradicated from Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, the U.S. and Canada, but it can still be found in many other countries.
Sheep scab is caused by a tiny, pearly-white mite. (Psoroptes ovis) just visible to the naked eye. Mites live on the skin surface causing a skin allergy to their droppings. Initially the lesions are very small (less than the diameter of 1p coin) as the mites multiply the scab spreads, eventually covering the whole sheep. Sheep can also have mixed infestations of sheep scab and chewing lice. 2  Sheep scab can be controlled by using a diazinon based dip or by Dectomax, ivermectin or moxidectin based injections. 3  Remember that injections are also effective wormers and misuse / overuse could lead to drug resistant worms â consult your vet.
