Successful treatment requires improvement in management practices and overall sanitation. Overcrowding, mingling of affected animals with healthy and contact with contaminated tools should be avoided. It is recommended that whenever possible, affected animals should be treated and handled by only one person, who is not involved with handling unaffected animals, because herders can also serve as fomites. Topical application of acaricides present an effective, but labour intensive treatment. Vigorous brushing of affected areas with dip solutions is necessary. The treatment may be repeated each ten days until healing is complete. .
