    Demodicose canina: relato de caso clínico
    (Universidade Camilo Castelo Branco, 2017) Baptista, Maria Nathália Souza; Martins, Fernanda Manaia; Fêo, José Carlos Sabino de Almeida
    Demodicides are one of the main canine dermatopathies, caused by parasitic mites of the genus Demodex, especially Demodex canis, which proliferate excessively, due to the failure of the cellular response. The disease can present in two clinical forms: Localized Dermatitis (DL) and Generalized Dermatitis (DG). DL is more common in young dogs being self-limiting in most cases. Contamination can occur in the first days of life, through close contact with the carrier mother. The DG occurs mainly in animals older than two years of age, and its prognosis is reserved. Treatment requires the use of appropriate drugs and proper guidance to owners.
