For this purpose nine rabbits were divided into three groups. The first group (five rabbits) was immunized with Sarcoptes antigen. The second group, (two rabbits) were injected with adjuvant only. The third group included two nonimmunized rabbits used as negative control. All rabbits of the three groups were challenged on day 35 with Sarcoptes cuniculi. No clinical signs were detected in four rabbits of the immunized group, while the fifth rabbit showed restricted lesion with few numbers of mites UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2006/VMJ/5406/4/787.pdf ER -
