  • Title: Demodicosis in red-handed tamarins (Saguinus midas).
    Author: James SB, Raphael BL.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 2000 Jun; 31(2):251-4. PubMed ID: 10982144.
    Abstract:
    Two nonrelated but paired red-handed tamarins (Saguinus midas) presented with diffuse, multifocal, raised, nonpruritic, hyperkeratotic lesions on the appendages and face. Skin biopsies identified acarids and skin scrapings confirmed demodex-like mites. The animals were treated with ivermectin, at the endoparasite dose, which initially resulted in resolution of clinical signs; however, signs recurred after numerous treatments. After four treatments with amitraz dips, demodicosis lesions resolved.
