Straelensia
cynotis is the causal agent of a parasitic dermatosis recently reported
in three dogs, The lesions were to be found mostly on the animal's
face, and possibly on the back and/or ventrum. No acaricide treatment
proved to be effective. Cure was observed as the parasites were slowly
resorbed into the lesions (from 6 to 12 months). Since dissection
inside nodules is random, the histo-pathological images appear to
be specific, even when the parasite section is not included in it.
At present it would appear that this dermatosis has been reported
in several new localities (departements) in France. This development
may be explained by ecological changes together with more frequent
interaction between the dog and wildlife, since the parasitic population
in the environment increases at the same time as the reservoir of
wildlife. Generally speaking, the change of host is slow for the cycle
to be completed, In this instance it is interrupted, which would seem
to suggest an abnormal host or a closed-end development cycle.
