During 2014 we examined 41 household pets: 17 dogs aged between 2 months to 9 years, 24 cats aged between 3 months to 10 years by otoscopy. The prevalence of Otodectes cynotis in cats was 75%, in dogs 29.4%. The prevalence of infection was significantly higher in animals aged between 2 and 12 months (kittens 100% and puppies 44.4%). Besides, otodectosis was more frequently observed in male (77% in cats and 60% in dogs).

No significant difference was found between male and female infestation from 1993 to 1997. Among 48 otoscopic examined dogs during from 2004 to 2012, O. cynotys was observed in female.
