Demodex spp. mites were seen in skin sections of 5 of 53 raccoons (Procyon lotor) necropsied on Parramore Island, Virginia (USA). In all infections, mites were present in the skin over the lower legs; in one raccoon they also were located in a follicle of a vibrissa. None of the raccoons had Demodex-related gross lesions. Histopathologically, minimal lesions were seen in the affected follicles. This is the first documentation of Demodex spp. in raccoons.
在美国弗吉尼亚州帕拉莫尔岛对53只浣熊（北美浣熊）进行尸检，在其中5只浣熊的皮肤切片中发现了蠕形螨属螨虫。在所有感染病例中，螨虫均出现在小腿部位的皮肤；在一只浣熊中，它们还存在于一根触须的毛囊中。没有一只浣熊有与蠕形螨相关的肉眼可见病变。组织病理学检查发现，受影响的毛囊中有轻微病变。这是首次在浣熊中记录到蠕形螨属。
