7 cases of acariasis were discovered amongst a colony of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus pygerythrus). Lesions were confined to palpebrae and periorbital areas. Skin scrapings and biopsies were taken and the parasite was identified as Psorergates cercopitheci. The skin biopsies showed that the parasite invaded the superficial epidermis only. Skin scrapings taken from other parts of the infested animals' bodies were all negative for mites. Several of the infested animals have had physical contact with conspecifics, the majority of which have remained uninfested. Topical treatment was effective and often eradicated the mite completely after only one treatment.
在一群绿猴（赤猴）中发现了7例螨病病例。病变仅限于眼睑和眶周区域。采集了皮肤刮片和活检样本，寄生虫被鉴定为猕猴皮痒螨。皮肤活检显示该寄生虫仅侵入表皮浅层。从受感染动物身体其他部位采集的皮肤刮片均未发现螨虫。几只受感染的动物与同种动物有身体接触，其中大多数未受感染。局部治疗有效，通常仅一次治疗就能完全根除螨虫。
