Demodex cricetuli sp. nov. is described, in all life stages, from the Armenian hamster, Cricetulus migratorius. This demodecid inhabits the hair follicles of all body regions of the host. Heavy infestations are associated with dermatitis and alopecia. Demodex cricetuli is most similar to D. aurati, from the Golden hamster, but adults differ in podosomal length, shape of the opisthosomal terminus, genital opening and opisthosomal organ of the male, and overall length-to-width ratios.
新物种叙利亚仓鼠蠕形螨(Demodex cricetuli sp. nov.)在亚美尼亚仓鼠(Cricetulus migratorius)的所有生命阶段均有描述。这种蠕形螨寄生于宿主身体所有部位的毛囊中。严重感染与皮炎和脱毛有关。叙利亚仓鼠蠕形螨与金黄仓鼠的金色仓鼠蠕形螨(D. aurati)最为相似,但成虫在足体长度、末体末端形状、雄性生殖器开口和末体器官以及整体长宽比方面存在差异。
