Cheyletiellosis is commonly known as?

Walking Dandruff
Scabies
Ringworm
Yeast Infection

The correct answer is: Walking Dandruff

Cheyletiellosis is commonly referred to as "Walking Dandruff" due to the characteristic appearance of the skin flakes and the mites associated with this condition. The mites, which are known as Cheyletiella, are surface-dwelling parasites that cause irritation and flaking of the skin, resembling dandruff. This condition can affect various animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, and is often noticed by owners as the skin appears to be "walking" due to the movement of the mites within the fur. Recognizing this common term helps in understanding the nature of the infestation and highlights the importance of treatment to relieve the itching and discomfort it causes to pets. Understanding Cheyletiellosis and its common name can aid animal control officers in educating pet owners about prevention and management measures.
