- Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to determine the incidence of Demodex spp in employees and individuals receiving service in hairdressers. 55 hairdresser employees and 55 people who receive hairdresser service in the central districts of Van province were included in this study. Samples were taken from the nose, chin and forehead with the standard superficial skin biopsy method. After a drop of Hoyer solution was dripped onto these samples, adult, larva, nymph and egg forms of mites were investigated under the microscope with 10 and 20 lenses. Demodex spp was determined in 29.8% of 55 hairdresser employees included in the study and in 70.2% of 55 individuals who received hairdresser service. A statistically significant correlation was found between hairdresser employees and service users in terms of the incidence of Demodex spp. Of the 47 cases in which parasites were determined, 44 were female and 3 were male. A statistically significant correlation was found between gender and the incidence of the parasite. It was concluded that distribution of informative leaflets about this parasite to people receiving service in personal care and hygiene centers may reduce the incidence of Demodex spp.
