Early Innate and Longer-term Adaptive Cutaneous Immunoinflammatory Responses during Primary Infestation with the Sheep Scab Mite, Psoroptes ovis

Clinical observation has indicated that Psoroptes ovis mites provoke cutaneous inflammation within hours of experimental infestation, but the nature of this reaction has not been described. After infestation of naive sheep with ovigerous P. ovis mites, significant influxes of eosinophils ( P
