A histomorphological study of sarcoptic acariasis in the dog: 19 cases.

Nineteen cases of canine sarcoptic acariasis (Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis) were diagnosed histologically by identifying sarcoptic mites present in the stratum corneum. The inflammatory responses to these mites could be staged as early, fully developed, or late lesions. No histomorphological features were identified that could serve as reliable markers of infestation in the absence of a sectioned mite.

Contagious demodicosis in three cats residing in a common household.

Three cats residing in a common household were diagnosed with dermatitis involving infestation by the unnamed species of feline demodectic mite. Food allergy subsequently was diagnosed as the primary cause of the dermatitis in two of the cats which were litter mates. In the unrelated third cat, the mite infestation was the primary cause of the dermatitis and appeared to have been contracted through contact with the other cats.
