First Detection of Human- and Dog-Associated <em>Demodex </em>Mites (Acari, Arachnida) in Southern European Wolves (<em>Canis lupus</em>)

2026-02-11

Abstract excerpt

Demodex mites are common commensals of mammalian skin, but under certain conditions, they can cause severe skin diseases. This study analyzed the presence, diversity, and phylogenetic relationships of Demodex species in two wolf subspecies from southern Europe to determine whether species-level differences exist between wild and domestic canids after thousands of years of divergence. A total of 1,400 hair samples...
