Severe dermatitis caused by trombiculid mite infestation was observed in an Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi). The mite was identified as Leptotrombidium miyajimai. This is the first report of trombiculid mite-associated cutaneous lesions in Amami rabbits and also the first direct evidence of L. miyajimai parasitism of this host species.
