Resumen:
Demodicosis is a common condition in dogs, associated with genetic and immunological factors. It is not contagious or zoonotic, however, a serious and potentially dangerous to the animal´s life. Affects most of the races while noting that there are some more predisposition. This paper analyzed 499 records of the Small Animal Hospital (Faculty of Veterinarian Sciences, National University of La Plata, Argentina) for the period 1998-2006. In all cases of dogs tested were considered primarily to those who had some type of dermatology disease, and of these, those who were eventually diagnosed Demodectic mange. Twenty-eight out of 499 exhibited Demodicosis. Coincident with the data reported other research, this study evidenced that certain breeds, such as German Shepherd, Boxer and Mixed breed dogs had higher prevalence. These results would support the hypothesis that Juvenile Generalized have a greater predisposition in certain breeds.
