Abstract
A prospective study of 474 dogs, 145 cats, and 66 wild red foxes submitted for necropsy to the Departments of Pathology at the National Veterinary Institute and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden, was conducted to examine for the presence of Pneumonyssoides caninum, the canine nasal mite. Pneumonyssoides caninum (P. caninum) was found in 95 (20%) of the dogs but in none of the cats or foxes. The median number of P. caninum mites per infected dog was 13 (range, 1 to 250). Dogs older than 3 years of age were more often infected with P. caninum than younger dogs, and large-breed dogs were more often infected than small-breed dogs. No sex predisposition was found.
