Cheyletiella dermatitis is an ectoparasitic infection caused by the Cheyletiella mite, attacking primarily domestic animals. Several species are known - Cheyletiella yasguri. the mite attacking dogs. Cheyletiella blakei. parasiting on cats and Cheyletiella parasitovorax attacking rabbits. In humans it causes short limited severely itching disease, on the areas of contact with the infested animal.
