Demodicidosis is a chronic skin disease, caused by two species of Demodex (D. folliculorum and D. brevis). Demodex infected individuals are mainly symptomless and may have pathogenic symptom only when mite density is high within the skin. Objectives: To compare the value of the Standardized skin surface biopsy (SSSB) and direct microscopic examination with KOH (DME) for assessing Demodex density.

Psorergates rattus Fain & Goff, 1986 has been found in the brown rat Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) in Poland. The species has previously been found only once, in the tail base of the brown rat in the United States. In the present case, ten rats from two localities in Poland (Pomerania) were examined and infestation was discovered in 20% of them, with a total of 12 mites found. This is not only the first discovery of the species in Poland and the second globally, but also the first observation of representatives of Psorergatidae in rodents of the genus Rattus in Europe.

Mange is a class of skin diseases caused by parasitic mites. Sarcoptic mange is one of the common contagious skin diseases affecting all the domestic animals through host- adapted variants. All the dogs had intense itching, restlessness, frantic scrating hair-loss, red skin all over the body and scabs. Distribution of the lesions was noticed at the margins of the ears, elbows, face and legs. Parasitic mites that cause mange in mammals embed themselves either in skin or hair follicles in the animal, depending upon their genus. Sarcoptes spp. burrows into skin, while Demodex spp.

Ten camels showing typical clinical lesions of itching, pruritus, biting and rubbing against objects, alopecia, erythema, keratinization, thickening, corrugations and wrinkling of the skin, exudation and bleeding, fissured skin and scab formation were identified. The skin scrapings were collected from the edges of skin lesions in clean small size plastic jars separately, each duly marked for identification of the individual animal. Sarcoptes scabiei var cameli mites were identified on the basis of their characteristic morphological features.

An investigation was carried out to study the pathological changes in canine skin due to demodicosis. The predominant changes included folliculitis, perifolliculitis, furunculosis, acanthosis and hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis and hyperplasia of superficial epidermis. The cut sections of mites were seen in hair follicles, stratum corneum, sweat glands, sebaceous glands as well as in the dermis and epidermis with mild to heavy mononuclear cell reactions. There was ulceration of the epidermis in the severe pustular lesions.

Eggs deposited by female mites in the horny outer layer of the skin undergo three development stages (larvae, nymphs and adults) in about 17 to 21 days. The adult mites mechanically damage the skin of the host by making minute burrows. Allergic reaction is shown to mite saliva and faeces usually followed by secondary infection. Intense pruritis evolving small vesicles and inflammatory reaction of the skin characterize the beginning of the disease. Pruritis is severe and affected animals resort to extensive rubbing and scratching.
