Abstract
Extract
The cat fur-mite, Lynxacarus(Felistrophorus) radovskyi is a relatively recent discovery (Tenorio Citation1974) and to date only rarely noted. Excluding its first discovery in Hawaii (Tenorio Citation1974), the mite has been recorded only seven times previously, i.e. from Puerto Rico (Fox Citation1977), Australia (Bowman & Domrow Citation1978), Fiji (Munro & Munro Citation1979); Florida (Greve & Gerrish 1981), Brazil (Faccini & Coutinho 1987); Florida keys (Foley 1991) andTexas (Craig et al. 1993).The mite can cause intense itching, particularly on the posterior half of the cat, and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as alopecia and gingivitis have been recorded, most from an epizootic in >300 cases (Foley Citation1991).
