Abstract
Zoonotic parasitosis is well known to predominate among poor societies in tropical and sub-tropical zones. Despite the comprehensive emergence and re-emergence of cutaneous zoonotic parasites, the clinical recognition of these types of infections is limited. Although most prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical zones, parasitic zoonosis in skin was reported in developed countries under suitable conditions. The non-specific symptomatology and lack of meticulous reports for the real burden were notable. Dermoscopy is a recent promising alternative in the diagnosis of cutaneous parasitosis, particularly by arthropods and helminths. In zoonotic protozoa, histopathological examination remains a cornerstone for proper diagnosis. Challenges in medical treatment are present in several cases; therefore, the search for alternatives is important. The present review aims to underline the epidemiological data, clinical pathology, and updates in the diagnosis and management of these dermal parasitic infections.
