“…When re-infected, all the dogs showed clinical signs of sarcoptic mange within three days, including the three dogs which were clinically refractory to the primary infection. These findings favour the opinion that the first signs of scabies and the shortened incubation periods found in animals and in human patients when re-infected are due to hypersensitivity type immune reactions (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Davis and Moon (21) found cuta-neous hypersensitivity reactions, both immediate (type 1) and delayed (type 4), in S. scabiei infected pigs.…”

Sarcoptes scabiei, derived from wild red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes) gave rise to self-limiting sarcoptic mange (pseudoscabies) in 12 experimentally infected beagle dogs. The experimentally induced Sarcoptes scabiei infections caused skin lesions typical of sarcoptic mange in dogs on recognized predilection sites. The incubation periods varied from 6 to 13 days depending on the mode of infection. When six dogs were re-infected two months after complete clinical recovery from a primary infection, the incubation period was three days.
