This study in Mosul City, Iraq, examined mange infestation in rabbits, finding that 43.1% of 130 rabbits were infested, with Sarcoptes scabiei var. cuniculi being most prevalent, and noted no significant gender differences but age-related variations in infestation rates.

Chikungunya can cause hyperpigmentation in children and should be considered in diagnosis.

In a case study, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu with both demodicosis and babesiosis showed improvement after treatment, which included medications like ivermectin and supportive care such as specialized shampoos and environmental spraying, evaluated up to the 21st day.

This case report describes two guinea pigs infested with Acarus farris mites, which were successfully treated with Phoxim and removal of contaminated hay, leading to rapid resolution of skin lesions and alopecia.

In this study, researchers describe the causes and treatment of scabiosis in cats, identifying mites Sarcoptes scabiei and Notoedres cati as the culprits and detailing a therapeutic regimen including ivermectin, diphenhydramine, nutritional supplements, and sulfur shampoo that resulted in improved symptoms and hair regrowth.

In this study, researchers found that the female plumage color variations in the common cuckoo are linked to the female-restricted genome and suggest this pattern is maintained by balancing selection, sharing ancestry with the oriental cuckoo.

This study found that a single application of 0.1% aqueous benzalkonium chloride solution effectively treated dermatomycosis caused by Trichophyton species in guinea pigs.

This report describes two cases of urticarial id reaction linked to tinea capitis profunda, highlighting a potential new etiology for this rare condition.

Crickets have genetically controlled hair plates that help them sense and move their antennae.

This report presents a case of molluscum contagiosum virus infection within an epidermoid cyst in a 13-year-old on long-term steroid treatment, highlighting its rare occurrence and need for histological examination for accurate diagnosis.

This report documents the first outbreak of a mixed infection of camelpox and dermatophilosis in camels in Iraq, highlighting the need for further study due to the novelty of dermatophilosis in the region.

The study reported that Demodex musculi infestation was notably higher in immunodeficient mice, while infested immunocompetent mice, particularly the BALB/c strain, showed increased IgE levels and developed alopecia over time.

This study reports that a sarcoptic mange outbreak, likely originating from mange-infected llamas from a governmental program, dramatically reduced vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina.

In this case report, researchers describe dermatophytosis, a fungal skin infection, in an 11-month-old female dog, highlighting the zoonotic nature of the disease that affects both animals and humans, especially in hot and humid climates.

In this study from a veterinary college, three cats with notoedric mange were treated with weekly subcutaneous injections of Ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg) combined with supportive therapy, leading to successful recovery over four weeks.

This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

This report describes a rare case of scalp kerion due to microsporosis in a Portuguese child, noting the unusual combination with other microsporid features and treatment details.

This case report describes the first known occurrence of urticaria pigmentosa in a domestic shorthair cat, where oral dexamethasone and cetirizine hydrochloride offered effective management following a comprehensive diagnostic work-up.

In this study of foxes and jackals in Ilam province, Iran, 19.35% of foxes and 17.85% of jackals were found to be infested with ectoparasites, mainly Ctenocephalides canis.

This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in healthy human hair follicles, challenging the traditional belief that the disease is primarily driven by CD8+ T cells.

This study found that blocking GABA(A) receptors in cat dorsal horn neurons increased evoked activity and background discharge, highlighting differences in inhibitory control systems compared to glycine receptors.

This study concluded that qiviut cortisol can be used as a measure of HPA axis activity in muskoxen, with hair growth phase and body region affecting cortisol levels.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

In this case report, researchers documented the first instance of alopecia in a bat from Veracruz, México, specifically in an individual of Artibeus jamaicensis, likely caused by a thoracic injury leading to an infection.

This study identified a 195 bp duplication in crested chickens that causes large crest feathers and can be associated with cerebral hernia in some breeds, but not all.

This case study describes a cat co-infected with Demodex cati and feline immunodeficiency virus, showing initial treatment improvement followed by disease recurrence and eventual euthanasia.

In this study, mixed lice infestations and their associated skin changes were observed in the Egyptian lesser blind mole rat, marking the first report of such findings in this species.
