Cases of arthropod dermatoses acquired by Russian tourists in tropical countries Brazil, Sri Lanka, Peru and Thailand are presented. These dermatoses were associated with trombiculidae mites infesting alligator, Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris, elephants and parrots. Because of widespread travel, trombiculiasis has become more common in European countries. Awareness of dermatoses associated with mites other than Sarcoptes for clinicians should be considered for a patient who has recently returned from endemic area. Misdiagnosis and mismanagement can occur owing to limited awareness of the condition outside endemic areas.
