چکیده

background: demodex is a genus of mites living predominantly in mammalian pilosebaceous units. they are commonly detected in the skin of face, with increasing numbers in inflammatory lesions. causation between demodex mites and inflammatory diseases, such as rosacea, blepharitis, perioral and seborrhoeic dermatitis or chalazion, is controversially discussed. clinical observations indicate a primary form of human demodex infection. the aim of this review was to highlight the biological aspects of demodex infestation and point out directions for the future research. methods : we conducted a broad review based on the electronic database sources such as medline, pubmed and scopus with regard to the characteristics of the demodex species, methods of examination and worldwide epidemiology, molecular studies and its role in the complex human ecosystem. results: demodex mites are organisms with a worldwide importance as they act in indicating several dermatoses, under certain conditions. however, correlations between demodex and other parasites or microorganisms occupying one host, as well as interactions between these arachnids and its symbiotic bacteria should be considered. there are few methods of human mites' examination depending on purpose of the study. nevertheless, paying attention must be needed as polymorphism of demodex species has been reported. conclusion: overall, the present review will focus on different aspects of demodex mites’ biology and significance of these arachnids in human’s health.

Ubiquity and Diversity of Human-Associated Demodex Mites

Demodex mites are a group of hair follicle and sebaceous gland-dwelling species. The species of these mites found on humans are arguably the animals with which we have the most intimate interactions. Yet, their prevalence and diversity have been poorly explored. Here we use a new molecular method to assess the occurrence of Demodex mites on humans. In addition, we use the 18S rRNA gene (18S rDN...
