Abstract

A 36-yr-old male captive siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) was evaluated for mange in the form of generalized alopecia, flaky skin, and pruritus of 1 mo duration. Multiple skin scrapings and biopsies revealed high numbers of trombidiiform mites identified as Psorobia (formerly Psorergates) sp. near cercopitheci (Acarina: Psorergatidae) based on morphologic characteristics. Prolonged repetitive treatment with ivermectin killed the mites and resolved the clinical signs. Psorergatid mites should be considered as a cause of dry flaky skin in even long-term captive siamangs or other primates. This is the first record of psorergatid mites from a primate host in the family Hylobatidae.

摘要

一只36岁的圈养合趾猿（Symphalangus syndactylus）因患疥癣接受评估，症状为全身性脱毛、皮肤片状剥落及瘙痒，病程1个月。多次皮肤刮片和活检显示，根据形态特征，发现大量 Trombidiformes螨，鉴定为猴螨属（Psorobia，原螨恙螨属Psorergates），属于猕猴螨科（Acarina: Psorergatidae）。用伊维菌素进行长期反复治疗杀死了螨虫，临床症状得以缓解。即使是长期圈养的合趾猿或其他灵长类动物，猴螨科螨类也应被视为干性皮肤片状剥落的一个病因。这是首次在长臂猿科灵长类宿主中记录到猴螨科螨类。
