[A case of demodicosis on a Dutch dairy farm].
Demodex bovis is a burrowing mite that lives in the hair follicles of cattle, resulting in nodules, granulomatous inflammation, and the formation of scar tissue. Clinical and histopathological changes of a recently diagnosed case of demodicosis on a Dutch dairy farm are presented before and after treatment. Treatment results were disappointing. The role of demodicosis in Dutch dairy farming is discussed.
