Two morphologically distinct forms of Demodex mites found in dogs with canine demodicosis from Vladivostok, Russia
The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology of Demodex canis and Demodex sp. cornei found in six dogs with canine demodicosis. A deep skin scraping technique was used for Demodex mite detection. Measurement data of 52 adult D. canis mites (26 females, 25 males and one specimen whose sex...
