Abstract
Demodex mites are slender and permanent parasites.Up to now,140 species or subspecies have been identified,infesting the hair follicles,sebaceous glands and other parts of 11 orders of mammals.The pathogenicity of Demodex has not been universally acknowledged mainly because of its high infection rate yet low incidence rate.Thanks to the recent studies that confirmed the association between Demodex mites and human facial dermatosis,the relationship between the population classification and pathogenicity of Demodex has drawn attention from the medical field.These advances are reviewed in various aspects of Demodex research,including research history,morphological classification,DNA markers and phylogeny research. Key words: Demodex; Morphological classification; DNA marker; , Phylogeny
