Abstract
A total of ten one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) suffering from mange were used in this investigation. The clinical signs of affected animals were debility, various degrees of alopecia, severe dermatitis, pruritis, and thickening with scales on different areas of skin. All camels were treated for mange caused by Sarcoptic scabiei var. cameli by rubbing Aloe vera gel leaves topically on the affected skin lesions everyday. All skin lesions disappeared rapidly and unexpectedly, and the absence of mite from skin scraping.
