© 2013What is mange and scabies

and what causes them?

Mange is a disease caused by tiny

microscopic parasites called mites.

These organisms infest the skin of

a?ected animals or humans. There are a variety of species of mites.

Infestation is also called acariasis (a-K-

ah-RYE-a-sis).

Scabies is a type of mange caused

by a particular family of mite. Scabies is also the term most commonly used when referring to human cases, while mange is used more commonly for animals. Mites can be host speci?c or a?ect a variety of species. Mites cause an extremely itchy, reddened condition of the skin.

What animals get mange

and scabies?

Di?erent types of mites infest

di?erent species of animals. Scabies and mange can occur in more than

100 species of animals, including birds.

How can my animal get

mange or scabies?

All of the mites that cause mange

are spread by direct contact. The scabies and mange mites are highly contagious (easily spread to other animals or people). Some mites can survive for several days o? an animal's body, on clothes, towels, or bedding, so these objects can be a source of infestation.

How does mange and

scabies affect my animal?

The most noticeable signs of

scabies or mange infestation in animals include severe itching and hair loss. The disease usually starts on the head and on areas of the body with delicate skin such as ears, nose, and elbows. An allergic reaction develops to the mite, leading to intense itching.

Small blisters may form and vigorous

scratching causes the blisters to open and become covered with scales and scabby plaques that may often ooze ?uid. Skin may become thickened.

Can I get mange or scabies?

Yes. People can get mites from

infested people or animals by direct contact. Human mites generally require prolonged contact to spread.

Human-speci?c mite species (scabies)

will require treatment.

Some mite species from infested

animals can also transfer to humans.

Typically, mites from animals cause an

allergic reaction in the skin, resulting in redness, irritation and intense itching.

The mites may cause you to itch for

several days, but you do not need to be treated with special medication to kill the mites. However, until your pet is successfully treated for mites you may become re-infested and continue to have symptoms.

Who should I contact, if I

suspect mange or scabies?

In Animals -

Contact your veterinarian.

In Humans -

Contact your physician and

tell them you have been in contact with an animal with mange.

How can I protect my animal

from mange or scabies?

Mites are most often introduced

on infested animals. Prevention relies on identifying and treating these animals. Most mites do not survive for long periods o? of the animal, but in some cases you may need to treat the animal's environment.

How can I protect myself

from mange or scabies?

You can prevent exposure to mites

by treating infested pets, livestock, or birds. Gloves, boots and protective clothing can decrease the risk of transmission when handling a?ected animals. Always wash your hands after having contact with animals.
