| |
| − | *[[Demodex|''Demodex'']] are normal inhabitants of hair follicles and sebaceous glands
| |

| |
| − | *Occurs in dogs, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses and cats
| |
| − | *Transmits during nursing from dam to offspring
| |
| − | *''Demodex canis'' in dogs:
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Psoroptic mites===
| |
| − | *Occurs in cattle, sheep, horses, goats, rabbits and other animals
| |
| − | *Host-specific
| |
| − | *[[Psoroptes cuniculi|''Psoroptes cuniculi'']] in ear canals of rabbits, horses, goats and sheep
| |
| − | *[[Psoroptes|''P.equi'']] at base of mane, tail and forelock in horses
| |
| − | *[[Psoroptes ovis|''P.ovis'']] in sheep ('''sheep scab''')and cattle
| |
| − | **Thickened skin and dry scales and crusts
| |
| − | **Starts at withers and spreads due to self trauma
| |
| − | **Microscopically:
| |
| − | ***Spongiotic, hyperplastic or exudative superficial perivascular dermatitis
| |
| − | ***Eosinophils
| |
| − | | |

| − | *Caused by [[Sarcoptes|''Sarcoptes scabiei'']]
| |
| − | *Highly contagious
| |
| − | *Mainly in pigs, dogs, also horses, cattle, sheep, goats and cats
| |
| − | *Intense pruritus due hypersensitivity to mites borrowing through stratum corneum
| |
| − | *Usually starts with external pinnae -> head -> neck -> generalised
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | *Harvest mite infestation (chiggers) - [[Trombicula autumnalis|''Trombicula'' sp.]]
