Mange, scabies or acariasis is a dermatitis associated with various species of mites on domestic herbivores and other animals. One species on cattle is Chorioptes bovis (Héring, 1845) Gervais and Van Beneden, 1859. This mite has been incriminated as the cause of most clinical cases of mange reported in Canada during the past 20 years, although a few outbreaks of psoroptic, sarcoptic and demodectic acariasis were noted also. The last three kinds of mange are often severe and sometimes generalized, but chorioptic mange is generally mild and frequently restricted to small patches on the hind quarters.
