“…It was stated that this mite could be a possible vector of myxomatosis in rabbits (34). Three reports were related to cheyletiellosis in humans in Turkey; one etiologic agent was Cheyletiella blakei (35) and one was Cheyletiella parasitivorax (36), and in the other the Cheyletiella species was not identified (37). It was reported that C. parasitivorax has been found in the highest prevalence in wild rabbits (1,2).…”

IntroductionLepus europaeus is a cosmopolitan species and found in almost all parts of Turkey. The lice, fleas, and ticks, as well as some other ectoparasites found on hares, suck blood and cause irritation and anemia when found in large quantities on the host. It has been generally accepted that Leporacarus gibbus is a scavenger on skin and hair detritus and that Cheyletiella parasitivorax feeds on tissue fluids after piercing the skin of the rabbit and causes skin irritation on the back (1,2). Lice, ticks, and fleas are vectors of zoonotic pathogens and they can transmit some pathogenic agents to wild mammals and humans (1,(3)(4)(5)(6). Haemodipsus lyriocephalus, H. ventricosus, and H. setoni can transmit tularemia to their hosts (4,5), while Spilopsyllus cuniculi is an important vector of rabbit myxomatosis (1,3).Two hundred and ninety-six hares (L. europaeus) were examined for endoparasites and ectoparasites, 272 of which were found to be infested with parasites and two ectoparasite species, L. gibbus and S. cuniculi, in northern Germany between years of 1990 and 1993 (7). In another study (2) in the Daejeon area of South Korea, 164 (65.3%) of 251 examined rabbits were found to be infested with ectoparasites of three species: C. parasitovorax (60.6%), Psoroptes cuniculi (2.8%), and Ornithonyssus bacoti (1.9%). The sucking lice occurring on wild rabbits are represented by the genus Haemodipsus. It was reported that H. ventricosus from chickens (8) and H. lyriocephalus, H. setoni, and Haemodipsus leporis from hares (L. europaeus) were detected in earlier studies in Turkey (9-11).There are relatively limited data published on ectoparasites of rabbits and hares in Turkey and some of these studies contain no information about the host species. The prevalence of ectoparasites was declared in some of these studies or reviews (8-14), while others were only case reports (15)(16)(17)(18). It was reported that Cimex hemipterus (as Cimex rotundatus in the paper), S. cuniculi, P. cuniculi, Otodectes cynotis, Neotrombicula (N.) autumnalis (Trombicula autumnalis in the paper), C. parasitivorax, Ornithodoros lahorensis, Ixodes hexagonus, and Hyalomma excavatum were detected on rabbits and hares in Turkey up to 1965 (8). Aksın and Aksın (13) recorded 27 (71.05%) of 38 wild rabbits infested with 27 ectoparasites and detected five species: C. parasitivorax, Rhipicephalus bursa, Hae. parva (Haemaphysalis otophila in the paper), T. autumnalis, and Ctenocephalides canis. Until now, there has been no study carried out about ectoparasites of the hares in Konya Province as well as other regions of Turkey, except sucking lice of the hares (9-11). This study was performed to detect ectoparasites on the hares in Konya Province, Turkey.

Özet: Cheyletiella cinsine bağlı akarlar zoonoz karakterde olup, konaklar arasında yakın temas ile bulaşmaktadır. Konak spesifiteleri çok yüksek olmayıp, aynı etken farklı konaklarda enfestasyon yapabilir. Bu çalışmada iki adet sahipli ev kedisinde bulunan cheyletiellosis ve bunların selamektin damla ile sağaltımından bahsedilmiştir. Her iki olguda da hayvan sahipleri fazla miktarda kepeklenme ve kaşıntı şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurmuştur. Kedilerin deri kazıntısının muayenesinde Cheyletiella blakei ile enfeste oldukları görülmüştür. Akar tespit edilen bu kedilere 15 gün arayla iki kez selamektin damla uygulanmıştır. Tedavi edilen bu hayvanların ikinci uygulamadan sonraki 15., 30. ve 60. günlerde yapılan muayenelerinde etkene rastlanmamıştır. Kedilerde iki doz selamektin damla ile mücadelenin cheyletiellosise etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Anahtar kelimeler: Cheyletiellosis, kedi, selamektin Cheyletiellosis in Cats and Its Treatment with Selamectin Drop Summary: Cheyletiella type mites are of a zoonotic character and spread by close contact between hosts. Host specificity is not high and may cause infection in a variety of hosts. In this study, cheyletiellosis enfestation of two housecats and its treatment with selamectin drop has been mentioned. In both cases, the owners of the cats have presented their pets at our clinic with symptoms of itchiness and dandruff. Examination of skin scrapings of the cats were found to be infested with the Cheyletiella blakei. Following treatment with selamectin drop two weeks apart, after the second treatment, the agent of the enfestation was not detected in the examinations made on the 15 th , 30 th and 60 th days. Two doses of selamectin drop was effective against to cheyletiellosis enfestations in cats.
