  • Title: [Psoroptes cuniculi infestation in four rabbits and treatment with ivermectin].
    Author: Arslan HH, Açici M, Umur S, Hökelek M.
    Journal: Turkiye Parazitol Derg; 2008; 32(3):244-6. PubMed ID: 18985580.
    Abstract:
    Psoroptes cuniculi for treatment and in 10 rabbits in contact with the infested animals for protection. The efficacy of the drug was evaluated based on the clinical signs, the absence of live mites and new clinical cases during a period of least two weeks. Elimination of clinical signs and mites were seen in three rabbits seven days after the ivermectin injection, but one rabbit, which had meningitis-like signs, died. Also, no new cases occurred in the other ten rabbits. These results suggest that an application of ivermectin can completely eliminate mites from rabbits naturally infested with P. cuniculi and that it was also a sufficient method for protection from contact infestation.
