Sarcoptic mange caused by the mite is a worldwide-distributed skin infestation with a wide range of hosts, among them several species within the Felidae family. was diagnosed in a dead adult female European wildcat () from Spain, based on histological evaluation of skin biopsies and identification of the arthropod from skin scrapings and molecular methods. This is the first description of in a European wildcat. Due to its critical demography in the southernmost population of the Iberian Peninsula, the impacts of infectious diseases, including sarcoptic mange, as a new potential threat should be considered during disease surveillance programs of the species' populations.
由疥螨引起的疥癣是一种在全球范围内分布的皮肤寄生虫病，宿主范围广泛，其中包括猫科动物中的几个物种。根据皮肤活检的组织学评估以及从皮肤刮片中鉴定节肢动物和分子方法，在一只来自西班牙的死亡成年雌性欧洲野猫（）身上诊断出了该病。这是欧洲野猫感染该病的首次描述。由于其在伊比利亚半岛最南端种群中的关键种群数量，在该物种种群的疾病监测计划中，应将包括疥癣在内的传染病作为一种新的潜在威胁的影响考虑在内。
