Pathophysiology of ectoparasitic disease

Companion Animal, 2007
Ectoparasites are a major cause of pruritus and therefore welfare concern. They may also cause anaemia (fleas, sucking lice, ticks), serve as vectors of several pathogens (protozoa, bacteria, rickettsia, viruses) and may be zoonotic. The skin constitutes the interface between ectoparasites and the host sensory and immune systems and plays an integral ...
