Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Thank you for this interesting case of Pyemotes dermatitis and review of previous cases. Indeed, this skin condition is rare in some geographical regions and dermatologists do not always think of this diagnosis. The paper freshes up knowledge.

Could you consider explaining in a bit more detail why mites are more common where there are insects, for instance, feed on insect eggs or are transported by insects? Can the mites be found in straw, etc if there are no insects, or will removing insects clear the furniture/straw also for mites?

Very minor:
Typos:
1. The second sentence in the introduction. You write: 'insects which can reside in different products like seed, grain, itch, straw and wood'. You probably mean something else, not that they reside in 'itch'?
2. you write 'assuming' sartans. You probably mean consuming?

Reviewer 2 Report

Interesting article which should be published.

Comments:

 1. I miss the biological classification of the parasites, strain, family, etc.

2. How does Pyemotes ventricosus differ from Trombicula autumnalis? Are there any differences in the clinic?
