There are four main types of mange in dogs: demodectic mange caused by Demodex mites; sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes mites, which is highly contagious and zoonotic; chyletiolosis caused by Cheyletialla mites, which is also contagious and zoonotic; and ear mites caused by Oteodectis mites, which can also be transmitted to humans. Mange is transmitted through close contact between dogs and causes symptoms like itching, rashes, and scratching that can lead to secondary infections. Treatment involves topical acaricides and creams or oral medications like ivermectin.
