The place of otodectes cynotis among the ear problems in cats: Current diagnosis and treatment approaches

Otodectes cynotis (ear mite) is a parasitic infestation that has an important place in the aetiology of otitis externaseen in cats and has a relatively high prevalence (50-84 %). In infested cats, abnormal secretion (85.4 %) and itching (41.5%) are observed. In some cases, 50-100 mites are observed with no clinical symptoms and earwax whereas 1-2 mite can beobserved with severe lesions and dark earwax. It is also possible to see the mites by naked eye as white-coloured movingdots by otoscopic examination or after placing on the earwax on a black background. The definitive diagnosis is provided bythe presence of mites on the microscopic examination. Its easily transfer by contact, zoonotic character, adverse effect onthe life quality of cats with clinical signs (such as restlessness and aggressiveness) give rise to fatal consequences, whileuntreated or additional secondary factors increases the importance of diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this review wasto point out the current approaches of diagnosis and treatment of Otodectes cynotis infestations that is the major causes ofear problems especially otitis externa in cats.
