Hair Follicle Mites (Acari: Demodicidae) from Australian Aborigines

Abstract: SUMMARY Demodex folliculorum and D. brevis have been found in taken from full‐blood Australian Aborigines. The incidence of demodicid infestations was highest among males, 66%, in two groups of Aborigines but the mites were absent in a third group. No regular correlation was found between the clinical appearance of the skin and the presence of the mites. One interesting case is mentioned.

D. folliculorum'un foliküler açıklıklarda tek veya gruplar halinde yaşadığı, D. brevis'in ise sebaseöz bezlerinin derinliklerinde çoğunlukla tek olarak yaşadığı ve akarların ince, uzun yapılarının bu yerlere uygun olduğu bildirilmiştir 1,2 . Foliküler açıklıklarda yaşayan bu parazitlerin oluşturduğu enfestasyon Demodikozis olarak adlandırılmaktadır 3 D. folliculorum, insanlarda en yaygın bulunan ektoparazittir 1,4 .…”
