The condition is associated with the tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti), spiny rat mite (Laelaps echidnina) and house mouse mite (Liponyssoides sanguineus) [4] which opportunistically feed on humans. Rodent mites are capable of surviving for long periods without feeding and travelling long distances when seeking hosts. [4]
Liponyssoides sanguineus is a species of mite that infests the house mouse (Mus musculus). [1] It can transmit human disease, [2] is associated with causing rodent mite dermatitis in humans [3] and is noted for carrying Rickettsia akari, which causes rickettsialpox. [4] It was formerly known as Allodermanyssus sanguineus. [5]
Dermatitis is also associated with rodents infested with the tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti), [24] [25] spiny rat mite (Laelaps echidnina) [26] and house-mouse mite (Liponyssoides sanguineus), where the condition is known as rodent mite dermatitis. [27]
Ornithonyssus bacoti (also known as the tropical rat mite and formerly called Liponyssus bacoti) is a hematophagous parasite. [1] It feeds on blood and serum from many hosts. [2] [3] O. bacoti can be found and cause disease on rats and wild rodents most commonly, but also small mammals and humans when other hosts are scarce.

Mange (/ ˈ m eɪ n dʒ /) is a type of skin disease caused by parasitic mites. [1] Because various species of mites also infect plants, birds and reptiles, the term "mange", or colloquially "the mange", suggesting poor condition of the skin and fur due to the infection, is sometimes reserved for pathological mite-infestation of nonhuman mammals.
