Molecular Characterization of Chitin Synthase Gene of Demodex canis from Mizoram, India
Acta Parasitologica, 2019Canine demodicosis is a parasitic condition affecting the skin of dogs. The present study was designed to characterize chitin synthase gene of Demodex canis. The molecular technique was used for better understanding of this gene.A total of 75 dogs which are reared as pets with or without showing any skin lesions were examined during the study period ...

Demodex canis: redescription and reevaluation.
The Cornell veterinarian, 1978A brief review of the taxonomy of Demodex canis is followed by a complete redescription. Demodex canis is diagnosed with D. odocoilei of the white-tailed deer. In view of the continued speculation that dogs and man share the same demodicid, simple morphological characters are noted which distinguish D. canis from D. folliculorum and D.

Establishment of Demodex canis on Canine Skin Engrafted onto Scid-Beige Mice
The Journal of Parasitology, 1996A small animal model of canine demodicosis is described. Normal canine skin was engrafted onto scid (severe combined immunodeficient)-beige mice, which lack functional B and T lymphocytes and have reduced natural killer cell activity. The xenografts were later infected with Demodex canis collected from a dog with demodicosis.

Easy way to differentiate short‐tailed demodectic mite from Demodex canis
Veterinary Dermatology, 2002Mixed infestations of Demodex canis and a short‐tailed demodectic mite were reported from several countries since late the 1980s. Differentiations based on measurement of the length of this short demodectic mite have been inconclusive until now. Over 500 adult demodectic mites were collected by tape strip and skin scrapings from a 4‐year‐old intact ...

Scanning electron microscopy description of a new species of Demodex canis spp.
Veterinary Dermatology, 2001AbstractBetween 1997 and 1999, the prevalence of Demodex canis mites was determined in 150 dogs. In two dogs, we found two different species of mites; Demodex canis and another, unidentified, Demodex mite. The unidentified Demodex mite species had several different morphological features. First, it had a short opisthosoma and an obtuse end. In addition,

Demodex canis targets
SummaryWidespread incidence of Demodex mites throughout the mammalian class and occasional serious and fatal outcomes in dogs warrant an insight into the host‐parasite interface especially. Therefore, this study was aimed to unravel the interplay between innate immune response and canine demodicosis.

Development of a real-time PCR to detect Demodex canis DNA in different tissue samples
Parasitology Research, 2010The present study reports the development of a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect Demodex canis DNA on different tissue samples. The technique amplifies a 166 bp of D. canis chitin synthase gene (AB 080667) and it has been successfully tested on hairs extracted with their roots and on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded skin biopsies.

A Short‐tailed Demodectic Mite and Demodex canis Infestation in a Chihuahua Dog
Veterinary Dermatology, 1995Abstract— Infestation with short‐tailed demodectic mites and Demodex canis was diagnosed in an 8‐month‐old male Chihuahua dog. Skin lesions were characterized by alopecia and scaling on the ventral aspects of the chest, all four limbs, the ventral aspect of the neck and around the eyes.
