dc.description.abstractA retrospective survey was conducted to study the prevalence of mange mite infestation in dogs in Chennai city between 1998 and 2006. The results of 3055 skin scrapings examined from dogs during this period were used to determine the season and age wise prevalence and predisposing factors for mange mite infestation. An overall prevalence for mange mites was 15.2% with demodex infestation being 10.2 % followed by sarcoptes (5.2%).The season wise prevalence showed a peak during summer between March and July and the age wise prevalence revealed that the younger age group of 6 to 12 months was more prone to mange mite infestation as compared to adult dogs.en_US
