Pruritic eosinophilic dermatitis in Jersey cows infested with Leptotrombidium spp (Acari: Trombiculidae). Vet Dermatol. 2020 Sep 15;: Authors: Cadiergues MC, Moulin JP, Lucas MN, Dorchies P, Schelcher F Abstract Eosinophilic dermatitis was observed in skin samples from Jersey cows, sampled in mid-October in south-west France. The inflammatory response was considered to be the result of Trombiculidae bites. Clinical signs were assumed to be due partly to self-trauma and included patchy alopecia with crusted papules; lesions were observed on the jaws, dewlap, perineum and distal limbs. Identified parasites were larvae of Leptotrombidium spp. The lesions had completely self-resolved by December. PMID: 32929760 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
