Parasitological and histopathological examinations were performed on two raccoon dogs, Nyctereutes procyonoides, with severe dermatosis, taken from Saitama and Gunma Prefectures. These raccoon dogs were infected with a great number of Sarcoptes scabiei, but not with Demodex. Histopathologically, marked parakeratosis, hyperkeratosis and acanthosis were observed. Cross sections of many S. scabiei were observed in the stratum corneum, and hair follicles contained keratinous plugs instead of hair.
