Abstract
PLEASE NOTE A NEW 4TH EDITION HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND IS AVAILABLE IN THE LIBRARY AND IN PRINT
Ectoparasite infestation is a relatively common cause of skin disease in domesticated animal species, and the most frequently observed offender is Ctenocephalides felis, or the cat flea. This chapter summarizes the diseases caused by, and the treatment of Acari (sarcoptid, cheyletiellid, neotrombiculid, otodectid and notoedrid mites; ticks) and insects (lice, biting flies and mosquitoes). Flea allergic dermatitis is covered in Chapter 20, and demodicosis is discussed in Chapter 22. The following topics are considered: Acari; and Insecta.
