  • Title: First report of a Demodex sp. in raccoons (Procyon lotor).
    Author: Hamir AN, Snyder DE, Hanlon CA, Rupprecht CE.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1993 Jan; 29(1):139-41. PubMed ID: 8445775.
    Abstract:
    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.
