Özet:

 Scabies is a common parasitic disease in cats and dogs. This disease can easily spread between animals. It is also important in terms of zoonosis. Behavioral problems such as itching, fear, restlessness, aggression, growling, and loss of appetite may occur in animals infected with mange. These behavioral changes can cause communication problems between animals and their owners. In this case, both the health and welfare of the animal are adversely affected. Detection of behavioral changes associated with the disease allows the elimination of these behavioral problems. In this study, the relationship between the causative agents of scabies in cats and dogs and the behavioural changes that occur during scabies, the relationship between the causative agents of scabies and the sex of the animals, as well as the relationship between the causative agents of scabies and the age of the animals were investigated. As a result, a significant correlation was found between the causative agents of scabies in dogs and head shaking, fear, anorexia, and pinnal-pedal reflex. However, no significant correlation was found between aggression and growling behaviors and scabies causative agents in dogs. In cats, it was determined that there was a significant relationship between aggression and anorexia with the factors causing scabies, but there was no significant relationship found between fear, growling, and pinnal-pedal reflex. Finally, the research found no relationship between the age and sex of the animals and scabies agents.

 Uyuz, kedi ve köpeklerde sıklıkla gözlenen paraziter bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalık hayvanlar arasında kolaylıkla yayılabilmektedir. Ayrıca zoonoz olması açısından da önem arz etmektedir. Uyuz hastalığına yakalanan hayvanlarda kaşıntı, korku, huzursuzluk, saldırganlık, hırlama ve iştahsızlık gibi davranış problemleri meydana gelebilmektedir. Bu davranış değişiklikleri hayvanlar ve sahipleri arasında iletişim problemlerine neden olabilmektedir. Bu durumda hayvanın hem sağlığı hem de refahı kötü etkilenmektedir. Hastalık ile ilişkili davranış değişikliklerinin tespit edilmesi bu davranış problemlerinin giderilmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Çalışmada kedi ve köpeklerde uyuz hastalığını meydana getiren etkenler ile uyuz hastalığı sırasında meydana gelen davranışsal değişiklikler, hayvanların cinsiyetleri ve hayvanların yaşı arasındaki ilişki varlığı araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak köpeklerde uyuza neden olan etkenler ile kafa sallama, korkma, iştahsızlık ve kulak-ayak refleksi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenirken, saldırganlık ve hırlama davranışları ile uyuz etkenleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Kedilerde ise uyuz hastalığını meydana getiren etkenler ile saldırganlık ve iştahsızlık arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu ancak korkma, hırlama ve kulak-ayak refleksi arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Hayvanların yaşı ve cinsiyeti ile uyuz etkenleri arasında bir ilişki olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
