Two Persian cats kept in common, 3 months and 2 years old, presented a heavy infestation with Cheyletiella mites. The cats showed itching and loss of hair. The animals' owners suffered from severe itching and redish papulae, particularly on those parts of the body which frequently got in contact with the cats. After three treatments with Alugan powder (Hoechst) the cats were freed from the mite infestation. The owners' skin affection disappeared soon without any treatment. This is the first recovery of Cheyletiella mites on cats in Austria. The mites were identified as C. blakei, although obvious differences between the first description and our material were encountered. C. blakei could be primarily separated from C. parasitivorax according to the female tectum and the peritremata. Typically the sense organs on the genua of the first pair of legs are ovoid in shape. This feature, although morphologically variable, could be used as a diagnostic aid, if enough adult specimens are available.
两只共同饲养的波斯猫，年龄分别为3个月和2岁，感染了大量的姬螯螨。猫咪出现瘙痒和脱毛症状。动物主人也出现了严重瘙痒和红色丘疹，尤其是身体上经常与猫咪接触的部位。在用Alugan粉（赫斯特公司生产）进行三次治疗后，猫咪摆脱了螨虫感染。主人的皮肤问题未经任何治疗很快就消失了。这是奥地利首次在猫咪身上发现姬螯螨治愈的案例。螨虫被鉴定为布雷基姬螯螨，尽管在首次描述和我们的样本之间发现了明显差异。布雷基姬螯螨主要可根据雌螨的背板和气门与寄食姬螯螨区分开来。通常，第一对腿膝节上的感觉器官呈卵形。这一特征虽然在形态上存在变异，但如果有足够的成年标本，可作为诊断辅助依据。
