more common in dogs in stray dogs, underfed, malnourished, with poor sanitary
conditions and perhaps in greater proportion in dogs Puppies and young people.

Canine Scabies is highly contagious among dogs and can infect humans. Here it be
clear: the scabies mite in dogs is not the cause of human scabies, it is another
disease, but whether those living with a dog with mange and contact with it is
quite narrow, it is quite possible that the "bug of scabies" (remember that
because it is not microscopic) enters your skin, try to dig galleries as you do
with the dog though fortunately not be performed due to differences in the
structure of our skin to prevent him from out their functions.

rashes in some areas of the body that were in contact with the skin of infected
dog.
