Notoedric mange is a skin disease caused by a burrowing mite and is the feline version of scabies. The mite, Notoedres cati, occurs worldwide and is endemic in some parts of the US, particularly along the Gulf Coast.
Cheyletiella mites are distributed worldwide, and their distribution in the United States tends to be geographically concentrated in pockets. However they are not a common cause of mange in dogs and cats.
Demodectic mange, also known as demodicosis, is a skin disease caused by Demodex mites, which are found worldwide and on many animal species, including cats.
Demodectic mange is a skin disease caused when a mite called Demodex, which usually is relatively harmless, proliferates and overpopulates the skin of its host animal.
