Demodicosis results from the excessive proliferation of spp. Mites in the skin, and less commonly the ears. It is encountered frequently in dogs and rarely in cats. A variety of different clinical presentations are recognized, including localized and generalized, and juvenile and adult-onset forms. Over the past decade several completely new presentations of canine and feline demodicosis have been describes, which are putatively associated with different species of mites. The chapter looks at Species of mite; Pathogenesis; Clinical presentation; Diagnostic tests; and Treatment.
