[Acariasis and domestic animals]. / Acarioses et animaux domestiques.

ABSTRACT

Various parasitic dermatoses in man can find their origin in domestic animals. Acariasis are skin zoonoses which are not well known by the dermatologists and general practitioners. Due to different ectoparasite mites, the acariasis always cause prurigo in man but different areas of the body are involved. The treatment of the domestic animals usually allows the cure of the owner's skin disease.
