Sarcoptid / Cheyletiella

VETERINARIAN

Sarcoptes/Cheyletiella is a genus of skin parasites, and part of the larger family of mites collectively known as "scab mites". They are also related to the scab mite Psoroptes, also a mite that infests the skin of domestic animals. The effects of S. scabiei are the most well-known, causing "scabies", or "the itch".

Skin scrapings for sarcoptic mites should be deep enough to examine the full thickness of the epidermis. Q-scope will clearly make visible the mites and their eggs at the mi-range power of the digital microscope
