- Abstract
Notoedric mange, caused by Notoedres cati, affects cats and some rodent species, less commonly dogs and foxes. It also causes transient lesions in humans. The disease is highly contagious. N. cati belongs to the family Sarcoptidae, with a life cycle and morphology very similar to Sarcoptes canis. Diagnosis can be clinically oriented. The distribution of lesions and intensity of pruritus are highly suggestive. Confirmation can easily be made by microscopic examination of the skin scrapings, the parasites being more abundant than in sarcoptic mange. We report a case of generalized notoedric mange, consequently to immunosuppression induced by infection with feline immunodeficiency virus.
