 Can this condition affect the owner?
-*<font color="white"> Yes. WARN THE OWNER THAT THIS IS A ZOONOTIC DISEASE. ''Sarcoptes scabiei'' is host adapted and is therefore unlikely to flourish on a human host, but it is still capable of causing an irritating rash. This is most commonly found on the hands and arms of the owner, where they come into contact with the dog. In humans, the lesions sometimes take on the appearance of raised tunnels. Immunocompromied people can develop a very severe form of the disease with extensive crusting, known as Norwegian scabies. This is useful to know to help with diagnosis of the animal's condition but do not be tempted to treat the owner! A vet should never advise the owner on this, just as a medical doctor should not treat an animal.</font>

+*<font color="white"> This is a mite. It has short, stumpy legs, making it a burrowing mite. This is ''Sarcoptes scabiei'' var canis, the sarcoptic mange mite of dogs. IMPORTANT: sarcoptic mange mites are not easy to find. Even a good skin scrape may only yield a single mite (or none at all). Therefore it is important to scan the ENTIRE slide for mites. Usually they are still moving, making them a little easier to spot. Sometimes all that can be found is an egg and, if you can identify it as such, this is enough to make a diagnosis. The author uses the x10 objective to scan slides for sarcoptic mange mites. As you can see from the previous picture, they can be easy to miss under the x4. </font>
