what 3 organisms are NOT good for INDIRECT TRANSMISSION of pathogens?
MITES, FLEAS & LICE
MITES…
3 main characteristics? (size, 2 about anatomy)
5 types of mites with names of GENUS? (hint: one of them has 2 sub-categories)
3 main characteristics?
1. MICROSCOPIC or VERY SMALL in size
2. MOUTHPARTS are DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO BODY
3. NO BASIS CAPITULUM (thing between mouthparts & body) or SHIELD/SCUTUM
5 types of mites w/ GENUS names?
1. MANGE mites
–> BURROWING = Sarcoptes, notoedres, demodex
–> NON-BURROWING = Psoroptes, chorioptes, otodectes

2. Notoedris cati
3. Demodex spp = doesn’t ACTUALLY burrow deep into skin, just HAIR FOLLICLES & SEBACEOUS GLANDS –> that’s why we need to get CAPILLARY BLEEDING on skin scraping!
NON-BURROWING mites…
what type of mite is this?
2 main characteristics?
give 3 genus/species?
these are MANGE mites

life cycle? (2, 4 stages & category)
what 4 things can they feed on?
what 2 places can they live?
host specificity?
zoonotic risk?
life cycle? = SIMPLE METAMORPHOSIS
1. All the major stages are morphologically similar to ADULT
2. Eggs –> larvae –> nymphs –> adult
what 4 things can they feed on?
1. host tissue
2. cellular debris
3. blood
4. lymph
what 2 places can they live?
1. ALWAYS on host
2. just FEED on host & live in ENVIRONMENT
host-specificity?
–> specific TO ONE TYPE OF HOST (mammals, birds, etc.)
zoonotic risk?
–> mites that affect DOGS/CATS HIGH LIKELIHOOD for ZOONOSES
identify the GENUS & organism
MITE (POULTRY)
ORNITHONYSSUS

SARCOPTES SCABIEI
SARCOPTES SCABIEI…
what kind of organism is this?
4 anatomical traits?
feeds on? (2)
contagion? (1)
hosts? (7, + what is usually NOT a host? what is reportable?)
2 host specificities? (+ ** what happens if the WRONG host gets WRONG bug?)
this is a MANGE, BURROWING MITE
4 anatomical traits?
1. MICROSCOPIC
2. OVAL-shaped
3. SHORT LEGS
4. LONG PEDICELS (end of leg)

1. LYMPH
2. EPITHELIAL cels
contagion? = HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS!
hosts?
1. ruminants
2. humans
3. ferrets
4. dogs
5. pigs
6. wildlife
7. horses
** RARE in CATS, REPORTABLE in CATTLE in US
host SPECIFICITIES?
1. Sarcoptes scabiei var. CANIS = can affect DOGS & SOMETIMES HUMANS
** IF humans infected with CANIS, causes ATYPICAL, TRANSIENT DERMATITIS
2. Sarcoptes sabiei var. HOMINIS = HUMANS
identify GENUS & organism
**What is this?
MITE (MANGE, BURROWING)
SARCOPTES SCABIEI
**LONG PEDICEL!!

Wildlife = RED FOX (Vulpes vulpes) is AFFECTED BY LETHAL FORM of SARCOPTIC MANGE
5 clinical signs of SARCOPTES SCABIEI? (what’s the MAIN one?)
where does disease USUALLY START FOR ALL ANIMALS? (not a particular anatomical location)
- MAIN ONE = SEVERE PRURITUS
- HYPERKERATOSIS
- ALOPECIA
- REDDISH LESIONS covered with YELLOWISH CRUST
- Severe self-trauma & secondary infections MAY occur
usually starts on RELATIVELY HAIRLESS areas of skin
