The house fly is found all over the world where humans live and so is the most widely distributed insect. [1]This is a list of common household pests – undesired animals that have a history of living, invading, causing damage, eating human foods, acting as disease vectors or causing other harms in human habitation.
Most species of mammal, including humans, are readily infested with these minute mites, but typically the infestation level is very low. [9] The individual mites remain external to the epidermis within the follicle, but appear to be within the skin because they are below the general outer surface of the host.
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]
Mange (/ ˈ m eɪ n dʒ /) is a type of skin disease caused by parasitic mites.
