Background - The historical classification of Demodex mites has been based on their hosts and morphological features. Genome sequencing has proved to be a very effective taxonomic tool in phylogenetic studies and has been applied in the classification of Demodex. Mitochondrial 16S rDNA has been...

Canine demodicosis is a common non contagious parasitic skin infestation caused by different species of Demodex mites. Three species of Demodex namely, Demodex canis, D. injai and D. cornei were identified based on morphology and micrometry in skin scrapings of dogs with demodicosis in India, while ...

Canine demodicosis is a parasitic disease caused by Demodex mites (D. canis, D. injai, D. cornei). In most cases it is easily diagnosed through deep skin scrapings and hair plucks; only in rare cases it is necessary to use skin biopsies. Canine adult-onset demodicosis is often associated with an...

The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology of Demodex canis and Demodex sp. cornei found in six dogs with canine demodicosis. A deep skin scraping technique was used for Demodex mite detection. Measurement data of 52 adult D. canis mites (26 females, 25 males and one specimen whose sex ...

Demodicosis produced by species of the genus Demodex (D. canis, D. injai, D. cornei) is one of the most important skin diseases diagnosed in dogs. The study was carried out in the period 2019-2021, at dogs (520 animals) from the Strehaia and Turnu Severin shelters, dogs of different breeds, both...

Canine demodicosis is a common noncontagious parasitic dermatosis caused by different spp of Demodex mites including Demodex canis, Demodex injai and D. cornei. Generalized demodicosis can be one of the most frustrating skin diseases, one will ever treat. Conventional and newer miticidal therapies...

Mange mites are small mites belonging to the family Demodicidae (Prostigmata, Trombidiformes) and commonly parasitize mammalian skin. In addition to Demodex canis, dogs are parasitized by D. injai, which is longer than D. canis, and D. cornei nomen nudum, which is shorter. The genital foramen opens ...

Demodicosis is a common parasitic skin disease in dogs, and to date three forms of Demodex are recognized as parasitizing dogs. D. injai has been described as a potential cause of the canine disease, however there are few cases reported in literature in the specie, so this work aims to add new...

Canine demodicosis is a severe and highly prevalent dermatologic disease in dogs. Pet dogs can be affected by three recognized Demodex species that can produce clinical effects. In this paper, three morphological types of Demodex mites have been isolated from Spanish dogs. A complete...

Demodecosis canina is one of the most important dog parasitoses, but its aetiology is still not well known. There are currently two known species of demodecid mite specific to the domestic dog Canis lupus familiaris Linnaeus, 1758 (Carnivora: Canidae). These are Demodex canis Leydig, 1859...
