Demodex bovis also known as the cattle follicle mite usually causes demodicosis or demodectic mange in cattle. This disease is common in tropical areas and is not usually found in temperate environments. Demodicosis is characterized by the formation of papules and nodules over the cattle’s skin. These lesions most commonly occur on the neck shoulders and armpit of cattle; however sometimes they also appear on the udder.
