		+	==Introduction==
		+
		+	''Chorioptes, Psoroptes, Sarcoptes'' and ''Demodex'' mites may be found in donkeys as they are in horses, but little information is available on their prevalence in donkeys.
		+	Chorioptes spp. commonly infest donkeys over winter months in particular and although pruritus is a prominent sign it can be almost insignificant.
		+
		+	==Clinical signs==
		+
		+	Mites are rarely seen at [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ The Donkey Sanctuary] but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any skin condition producing hair loss, irritation, thickened skin with scabs and exudate.
		+
		+	* Chorioptic mange may infest donkeys during winter and in severe infestation self trauma may occur due to the pruritus
		+	* A hypersensitivity may develop in which the extent of cutaneous inflammation is far worse than the condition warrants
		+
		+	==Diagnosis==
		+
		+	A diagnosis of mite infestation is reliant on finding and identifying the parasites. '''Skin brushings''' are far better than scrapings because cases of sarcoptes or demodex infection (the only significant burrowing mites in donkeys) are singularly rare. It is important to realise that the severity of the pruritus or the extent of skin lesions does not indicate the number
		+	of parasites present in all cases. Some will have little evidence of heavy infestations and others will have severe signs from few. This means that it is sometimes difficult to confirm the diagnosis. Skin brushings collected into a transparent glass or plastic pot and viewed on a dark surface with a magnifying glass are easily obtained and actually harvest the parasites from
		+	a wide area.
		+
		+	'''Skin scrapings''' are largely valueless – ''Sarcoptes spp.'' and ''Demodex spp.'' parasites are the only burrowing mites and these are exceedingly rare.
		+
		+	Identification of the parasite involved is important because it gives an idea of the epidemiology of the case and the treatment options.
		+
		+	==Treatment==
		+
		+	Treatment involves repeated application of parasiticidal washes containing either a synthetic pyrethroid or fipronil. However, these are only partially effective, and concurrent management to avoid further infestations and treatment of in-contact affected donkeys is important. The use of avermectin rinse solutions can be helpful.
		+	* [[Ectoparasiticides\|Pour-on]] preparations - as for [[Lice - Donkey#Treatment and control\|lice]]
		+	* [[Macrocyclic Lactones\|'''Ivermectin''']] may be used to treat sarcoptic, psoroptic and chorioptic mange. Repeat dose three times at intervals of two weeks
