In this article, ectoparasitic diseases and dermatophytoses of small mammals such as rabbit, ferret, hedgehog, guineapig, chinchilla, rat, gerbil, mouse; different birds and reptiles are reviewed. Related techniques for their diagnosis and treatment are listed. Various acaricides and insecticides kill these parasites rapidly and with durable effect, which leads to a rapid disappearance of pruritus and the corresponding skin lesions.
