Abstract | ||
The genus Cheyletiella are mites that are rarely found through out the world. There are three species of this genus, which have hosts such as dogs, cats and rabbits. These species go freely to various host species and thus, there is no host specifcity amoung the species of Cheyletiella. This mite can transiently affect human via direct contact. Transmission of these mites is occured vith the help of ectoparasites such as fleas or with direct contact. The Cheyletiella infestation causes a mild, non - suppurative dermatitis and since they are moving on the body coat, the term’ Walking dandruff” is used for the disease, In some cases, there is no signs of infestation on dog or other hosts, so the host can be reffered to as a non - symtomatic carrier , and from this point of view, There is a little data on the prevalence and incidence of it’s infestation in Iran. This present case report is the second report of Cheyletiella infestation in Iran, The mites was observed on the fleas separated from a dog which was brought to the clinic of veterinary university in Tabriz city in October 1998. | ||
