Abstract
Sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei is a serious contagious de rmatological disease in goats which is of economic and zoonotic signif icance (Prasad, 1984). Goats usually suffer from severe form of sarcop tic mange with extensive skin lesions accompanied by ill health, debil ity and emaciation (Chatterjee, 1989). The present study was therefore undertaken to elucidate the histochemistry of Sarcoptes scabiei infes ted skin of experimental Black Bengal goats.
