“…Earlier work in France by Borrel (1909) recorded similar infestation rates in tissue of the nipple. These mites also have been recovered from the knee area of the leg (Vance 1981), ectopic sebaceous glands on the tongue (Trodahl et al 1967), and even the foreskin of a man circumcised at age 70 (Breckenridge 1953).…”

The hair follicle mites of the genus Demodex (Demodecidae) were first discovered in humans in 1841. Since then, members of this host-specific genus have been found in 11 of the 18 orders of eutherian mammals with most host species harboring two or more species of Demodex. Humans are host to D. folliculorum and D. brevis. The biology, natural history, and anatomy of these mites as related to their life in the human pilosebaceous complex is reviewed. This information may provide insight into the application of Demodex as a tool for the forensic acarologist/entomologist.

“…107,[127][128][129] Forton demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between the presence of Demodex and perifollicular, lymphohistiocytic inflammation in 69 biopsy specimens from rosacea patients. 129 Other studies have not supported these findings.…”
