==[[Demodicosis]]==
Two species of ''[[Demodex]]'' mites affect the hamster: 40% of infestations are caused by ''Demodex criceti'', a short mite with a short stumpy body that is thought to be non-pathogenic. The remaining 60% are caused by '''''Demodex aurati''''' which is a cigar-shaped mite that burrows into the pilosebaceous unit of the hair follicle.
