		Generalized demodicosis is far more severe than the localized form, especially when it starts when the dog is an adult of four or five years of age.
		Generalized demodicosis may occur in a dog that, as a puppy, had localized demodicosis that never went away, or in a dog that developed localized demodicosis as an adult.
		Localized demodicosis usually is passed from the mother to her nursing puppies after they are born.

		Besides, demodicosis was produced by us experimentally on a volunteer who had a healthy skin and on two cats which preliminary were thoroughly prepared to the experiment in the course of three months by every day bathing with soap and brush.
		The demodicosis in 100% cases are inherited from the mother /Yu.S.Balashov,1982/.
		The demodicosis, that is not taken into consideration in the medical practice, considerably complicate the cause of famous infectious and noninfectious diseases.

		Demodicosis may involve only 1 or 2 small areas of the skin (localized mange) or large areas of the body (generalized mange).
		Adult-onset demodicosis generally occurs in dogs more than 5 years old, and is often associated with internal disease or cancer.
		Juvenile demodicosis can be self-limiting, and mild cases will often resolve on their own if the skin infections can be controlled.

		Demodicosis is further classified as “Localized” or “Generalized.” The disease is generalized if two or more feet are affected, if five or more localized lesions are present, or if an entire body region is affected.
		Adult-onset generalized demodicosis is a serious disease because it may be an indication of internal disease that is suppressing the immune system.
		Demodicosis is diagnosed by obtaining deep skin scrapings and observing the mites under the microscope.

		Demodicosis is an inflammatory, parasitic skin disease that is caused by a large population of mites, which lives in the hair follicles of dogs.
		Demodicosis often is diagnosed by microscopic identification of large numbers of mites from skin scrapings.
		In animals with chronic demodicosis, a skin biopsy (surgical removal and microscopic examination of a sample of skin) may be required to identify the mites.

		Demodicosis (red mange) is a canine skin condition that occurs when abnormally high numbers of a particular mite (Demodex canis) multiply on the affected dog’s skin.
		Generalized demodicosis, in contrast, is a far more serious disease, especially when it starts in dogs four or five years of age.
		When demodicosis is localized in puppies, no treatment is usually needed; healing typically occurs in six to eight weeks.

		Demodicosis is usually a disease of young animals, particularly pure-bred dogs less than one year old.
		Demodicosis is usually suspected when a young purebred animal has hairless areas on its face or front legs.
		Because of the suspected genetic basis of demodicosis, the American College of Veterinary Dermatology suggests that affected dogs and cats not be used for breeding.

		Demodicosis is a disease caused by Demodex canis, a mite that normally lives in the hair follicles of dogs.
		Adult-onset generalized demodicosis (dogs older than 18 months of age) is a serious disease because it may be an indication of internal disease that is altering or suppressing the immune system.
		Demodicosis is usually diagnosed by obtaining deep skin scrapings and visualizing the mites under a microscope.

		Demodicosis may be localized - that is, confined to 1 or more small discrete scaly reddened areas of hair loss, most commonly on the face or front legs.
		The mite is present in small numbers in the skin of healthy dogs, but the condition of demodicosis only develops in some animals, who are believed to have a defect in their immune system.

		Demodicosis appears most often in young dogs, particularly between 3 to 12 months of age.
		However, the presence of the disease in a pup indicates a genetic tendency; pups that show the disease and their parents should not be bred.
		Also, a dog that never experienced the disease as a pup may develop demodicosis as an adult when the immune system is stressed by health factors such as illness, injury, age, other parasites, poor nutrition, or use of certain medications that tend to depress the immune system.

	HUMAN DEMODEX MITES
		An association between the frequency of HLA Cw2 and Cw4 haplotypes and human demodicosis was established.
		In addition, an association between Cw2 and Cw4 alleles in the phenotype of patients with demodicosis and a decrease in the number of NK cells was found (A 82).
		Conclusions: HLA A2 and Cw2 phenotypes have an important diagnostic, prognostic and pathogenetic significance and could have a possible role in resistance or susceptibility to demodicosis by regulating the end phase of the immune response (A 91).

	Animal Health Care - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		There are many expressions of demodicosis and the prognosis for a permanent cure really depends on the type of demodicosis.
		This kind of demodicosis usually affects dogs 6 ot 9 months of age and clinical signs consist of nothing more than a patch or two of hairlessness with mild itchiness.
		Since demodicosis is not so much the result of a mite problem as it is an immune-system defect, dogs that have been successfully treated for demodicosis will always be at risk of a relapse.

		Generalized demodicosis is a severe disease with generalized alopecia, papules, pustules, and crusting.
		The only approved treatment for generalized demodicosis is whole body amitraz dips (0.025%) applied every 2 wk; the entire hair coat should be clipped, and a benzoyl peroxide shampoo should be used for its follicular flushing activity before the dip is applied.

		Canine demodicosis is classified as localized or generalized according to the extent of the disease, as the course and prognosis of the two types of demodicosis are vastly different.
		Canine localized demodicosis (CLD) is a benign disease, and the presence of secondary pyoderma and pruritus is rare.
		In contrast, canine generalized demodicosis (CGD) has been considered historically to be one of the most severe canine skin diseases and is one of the most frustrating diseases to treat.

		The prognosis for canine demodicosis is dependent on age, genetic factors, and underlying diseases.
		Adult-onset demodicosis may be more difficult to cure and may require a longer course of treatment.
		Dogs with generalized demodicosis treated with any therapy are not considered “cured” unless they are negative on skin scrapings one year after discontinuation of miticidal therapy.

	Update On Demodectic Mange
		Demodectic mange, or Demodicosis, is an inflammatory skin disease of primarily young dogs caused by the mite Demodex Canis.
		It is theorized that they usually receive their initial exposure from an infested bitch during the first few days of life and perhaps even from one pup to another when in direct contact at this young age.
		To summarize, Demodicosis is probably not contagious, but is the result of mite exposure coupled with an immune deficiency, which prevents the host from mounting an immunological attack on the parasite.

	Demodex, an inhabitant of human hair follicles, and a mite which we live with in harmony.
		In humans, the infestation is known as 'demodicosis' and occurs world-wide.
		The incidence of demodicosis steadily increases with the individual's age.
		Demodicosis may also occur in pets and causes conditions known as red mange or canine demodectic mange.

		Generalized demodicosis, by contrast, is a severe and potentially life-threatening illness and usually evolves from the more localized form.
		In cases of juvenile-onset demodicosis, a genetic defect in immune function is the most likely cause, as suggested by recognized breed predispositions and frequent multiple occurences of the disease in families of dogs.
		An underlying immunologic basis for demodicosis is further supported by the occurrence of adult-onset demodicosis in dogs with immunosuppressive illnesses (such as hyperadrenocorticism [hyperactivity of the adrenal cortex] or in those being given immunosuppressive medication (such as corticosteroids).

		Demodicosis is the condition resulting from a proliferation of these mites.
		This form of demodicosis is universally thought to be associated with a genetic predisposition to a specific type of immunodeficiency.
		It is now generally accepted that while certain breeds are predisposed to demodicosis, any dog can break with the localized form and need not necessarily be removed from a well-conceived breeding program.
