  • Title: Infestivity of Demodex canis to hamster skin engrafted onto SCID mice.
    Author: Tani K, Une S, Hasegawa A, Adachi M, Kanda N, Watanabe S, Nakaichi M, Taura Y.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 2005 Apr; 67(4):445-8. PubMed ID: 15876798.
    Abstract:
    We demonstrated that Demodex canis was transferred to skin xenografts of a dog and a hamster onto severe combined immunodeficiency mice. After the transfer of mites, the number of eggs, larvae, nymphs and adult mites per gram of canine and hamster xenografts increased, whereas no live mites were detected on murine allograft. These results indicate that D. canis proliferates in hair follicles of dog and hamster skins but not in murine allograft. Therefore, D. canis may have host preference but not strict host-specificity.
