This paper presents a hypothesis on the involvement of species of the genus Raillietia Trouessart in the pathology of parasitic otitis in domestic ruminants.The chelicerae and claws of the tarsi are structures that contribute significantly towards producing Ear Care primary lesions.The movable digits of the chelicerae accidentally injure the epithe
