“…During the night, mites search for their preferential hosts (wild and domestic rodents) to obtain a blood meal and are generally not active during daylight hours. If suitable preferential hosts are unavailable, the mites occasionally infest alternative hosts, such as dogs and humans (Charlesworth and Clegern 1977, Theis et al, 1981, Lopatina et al 1992, Chung et al 1998, Skirnisson 2001, Beck and Pfister 2004. The bite of these mites often causes tiny, clear blisters that are accompanied by a rash.…”

“…There are numerous case reports of papular urticaria resulting from unusual mite infestation, such as exposure to tropical rat mite after extermination of rats and a case of mite dermatitis in a child in California traced to bats living in the wall [33,34]. These situations occur after the preferred host dies out or is eliminated, and the animal ectoparasites go in search of an alternate food source.…”
