7 Ixodid Tick Identification 1. Scutum (shield) pattern Each species has a unique pattern or color. 2. Festoons Small areas separated by short grooves on the back margin of the tick Helps distinguish all other ticks from Ixodes ticks, which lack festoons 3. Location and time of year Based on your location in North America and the time of year, only certain ticks will be active
8 Tick Identification 1. Scutum (shield) pattern Each species has a unique pattern or color. Ixodes ticks often have a black/brown solid colored scutum. Dermacentor and Amblyomma ticks each have a patterned scutum.

16 1. Anemia Blood loss in heavy infestations 2. Tick worry Ill thrift caused by the loss of blood, pain & swelling from the bite wounds, secondary infections & absorption of toxins 3. Dermatosis Inflammation, swelling, ulceration & itching Induced by components of tick s saliva & mouthparts that remain in the wound Pathogenesis
17 5. Vectors Ticks transmit a number of bacterial, viral & protozoal pathogens Pathogens may be passed 1. Transstadially = from larva to nymph & nymph to adult 2. Transovarially = from female to next generation Pathogenesis 4. Paralysis (Tick Toxicosis) Some species of ticks saliva contain neurotoxins disrupts motor nerve synapses in the spinal cord & blocks neuromuscular junctions ascending paralysis a single tick can produce paralysis in dogs (and humans) heavy infections are required to produce paralysis in cattle Clinical signs do not appear unless the tick has been feeding for approximately four (4) days Removing the tick(s) often result in dramatic recovery

23 Ruminant mange mites Sarcoptic mites burrow into the skin. Short Legs Psorptic and Chorioptic mites are non-burrowing. Long legs At the end of the legs of all three types are thin structures called pedicels which have a sucker at the end. The appearance of these pedicels is used to identify the type of mite. The pedicels of the Psoroptes type of mite are long and jointed. Sarcoptic mites also have long pedicels but they are not jointed. The pedicels of Chorioptic mites are short. Psoroptes pedicels are segmented: P is for parts
24 8. Demodex spp. 1 Sarcoptes mite = Sarcoptic Mange 1 Demodex mite = Normal Flora Numerous Demodex mites = Demodectic mange Most Demodex spp. are considered normal mammalian fauna Are acquired at birth by direct contact Considered normal inhabitants of the skin (usually non-pathogenic) Overgrowth of normal mite fauna development of patchy hair loss +/- mild to severe dermatitis in dogs and (less commonly) in cats Exceptions (FYI): Demodex sp. cornei (dogs) & D. gatoi (cats) Small, blunt-ended demodectic mites Disease is thought to be caused by the infestation itself rather than an overgrowth of mites Can be associated with pruritus in the absence of pyoderma Contagious (vs. overgrowth)
25 8. Demodex spp. Dogs Demodex canis* (180 to 210 µm) Demodex injai (330 to 370 µm) Demodex sp. cornei (90 to 140 µm) Cats Demodex cati* (181 to 219 µm) Demodex gatoi (81 to 115 µm) Demodex sp. ( µm) D. canis vs. D. injai D. cati vs. D. gatoi *Prevalence is virtually 100%
26 2. Generalized demodecosis (the other 10%) Onset in dogs due to some underlying factor Lesions spread from head to rest of body Generalized erythema, alopecia, crusting & scaling Secondary infections can occur (i.e., pyoderma) resulting in oozing exudative lesions with severe crusting Severe cases are accompanied by a foul smelling putrid odor & are difficult to cure 8. Demodex spp. Two forms of canine demodecosis: 1. Localized demodecosis (90% of cases) Focal areas of erythema & alopecia Head, neck, & forelegs No secondary problems Most (90%) will resolve spontaneously

33 The Fleas Common species 1. Ctenocephalides felis - cat flea - most dog and cat fleas in NA 2. Ctenocephalides canis - dog flea 3. Pulex irritans - human flea 4. Xenopsylla cheopis - Oriental rat flea 5. Echidnophaga gallinacea - poultry sticktight flea 6. Ceratophyllus niger - Western chicken flea
34 The Fleas Order Siphonaptera I. Order Siphonaptera = Fleas Ctenocephalides felis - "cat" flea Ctenocephalides canis - "dog" flea
35 The Fleas 1. Ctenocephalides felis - the cat flea The most important species on dogs & cats 93% of fleas on dogs 99.8% of fleas on cats The major cause of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) Ubiquitous & parasitizes a wide range of hosts cats, dogs, cattle & humans Sloping elongated front of head Genal & pronotal comb About 2.5 mm long Life cycle completed in days days depending on conditions Only a few fleas required to cause great misery to host One bite can cause allergic reaction in sensitized host (FAD)
36 The Fleas Pruritic Dermatitis Pathology Flea bite dermatitis Low numbers = an annoyance # of fleas dermatitis Heavy infestation Anemia and death Flea allergy dermatitis Hapten in fleas saliva Antigenic when fixed to host protein Increased scratching or itchiness (pruritus) pruritus-induced self trauma Loss of hair, hairs that appear broken, Crusts and erosions, and pimple-like bumps. Thickened skin with darkened areas can be seen in severe cases. Hot spots sometimes can be seen along the dog's back and tail base. Circular, red, oozing, painful sores Can be perpetuated by a single flea!
37 Flea Control Host has: Adults on body + eggs in hair or feathers Environment: Eggs + Larvae + Pupae + Adults Majority of fleas usually in environment! Integrated control program: Includes the host AND the environment. 1. Control on host Dips, sprays, powders, shampoos, flea collars, and systemics 2. Clean up host s environment This step begins by laundering and steam cleaning/vacuuming: Wash pet bedding in hot water to kill flea larvae. If animals sleep with family members, all bedding must be washed. Steam clean or vacuum carpets thoroughly everywhere the infested pet is allowed to roam. Use chemicals to treat environment Residuals or knockdown, Insect growth regulators Focus on locations where pets go in and out of the house, sleep and rest, jump off beds, sofas and chairs, and spend time with family members.

Glossinidae Tse tse flies FYI: Descriptive features of Dipteran Familes: &class=17&subclass=&order=7&couplet=0
41 The Flies Ways to control flies: Regardless of the species of fly, an integrated approach that incorporates sanitation, mechanical control, and the use of insecticides is the best strategy for fly control. 1. Sanitation: Since manure and organic matter are common breeding grounds for flies, regular removal of manure & organic matter will deter fly populations by reducing the number of eggs laid. 2. Mechanical control Preventing accumulation of water and wet areas reduces fly breeding. Mechanical control of flies in buildings through the use of screens. 3. Insecticides Can be delivered by ear tags, dust bags, oilers, sprays, pour-ons, and feed additives.
