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.
