Acariotic mange in rabbits is one of the important constraints in rabbit husbandry. Sarcoptes scabies var. cuniculi and Psoroptes cuniculi are most common mites prevailed in rabbits, but Notoedres cati, is the rarest mite ever been reported in rabbit. Two New Zealand white rabbits were presented with clinical signs of pruritus, alopecia, scab and crust formation and lichenification on the upper lip, ear pinnae, eyelids, lower jaw and limbs. Deep skin scraping was taken separately from 4 to 5 different skin lesions from each rabbit, revealed mixed infestations of N. cati, S. cuniculi and P. cuniculi. Subcutaneous injection of ivermectin at weekly intervals for four weeks resulted in remission of clinical signs and improvement of health condition in rabbits. This is the first report of N. cati infestation of rabbit in Odisha.
兔疥螨病是家兔养殖中的重要制约因素之一。兔疥螨和兔痒螨是家兔中最常见的螨类,但猫背肛螨是在家兔中报道过的最罕见的螨类。两只新西兰白兔出现了瘙痒、脱毛、结痂以及上唇、耳廓、眼睑、下颌和四肢苔藓化等临床症状。从每只兔子的4至5个不同皮肤病变处分别进行深部皮肤刮片检查,结果显示存在猫背肛螨、兔疥螨和兔痒螨的混合感染。每周皮下注射伊维菌素,持续四周,使兔子的临床症状得到缓解,健康状况有所改善。这是奥里萨邦首次报道家兔感染猫背肛螨。
