 Mange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also called demodicosis, demodectic mange is caused by an overpopulation of Demodex canis, a mite that occurs naturally in the hair follicles of most dogs.
The condition can be treated with parasiticidal shampoo, topical or oral medication, or injections, but it takes time and patience for repeated applications, and almost always requires veterinary care.
The canine sarcoptic mite can also infest humans and cats, although usually not severely, as its natural host is dogs.

Sarcoptic mange is contagious to canines and humans.
Kids are cautioned not to touch a mangy dog for fear that the mange will ooze from the hapless pooch to the child and cause his skin to rot and his hair to fall out.
Unfortunately, the sarcoptic mange mite can be difficult to find in skin scrapings, and unless the veterinarian parts the hair and carefully examines the bare skin for the characteristic pin-point bite marks, diagnosis is difficult.

 BrainPox - Mange
The thing that causes demodectic mange to become evident is that certain conditions or “triggers” cause a breakdown of the immune system and the body can’t tolerate the toxins from the mite any longer, the skin becomes inflamed and staph infection and skin eruptions occur.
However, be aware that with any type of mange, antibiotic therapy may be needed if the irritation of the skin has caused secondary skin infections to set in.
In brief, sarcoptic mange is caused by the sarcoptic mite and typically thrives in and spreads through filthy conditions, however a dog can pick it up easily from contact with another dog or by being ‘near’ where such an animal has been.
