Outbreak and Eradication of Tropical Rat Mite (Acari: Macronyssidae) in a European Animal Facility.
Journal of Medical Entomology 2018 Februrary 29
A zoonotic, opportunistic out-break of tropical rat mite Ornithonyssus bacoti [Acari: Macronyssidae; Ornithonyssus bacoti (Hirst)] in an animal facility, is described. Immunocompetent mice [Mus musculus (Linnaeus)] and rat [Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout)] strains in a conventional health status facility suffered from scratching and allopecia and staff members suffered from pruritic, erythemato-papular lesions, presumed to be allergic in origin. O. bacoti was identified and treatment with a 0.1% ivermectin solution led to its complete erradication. Safety assessment revealed no signs of acute toxicity in any animal strain. Following this inexpensive strategy, 7 wk after the initial dose, samples were negative for the presence of acari. At the time of this report, 26 months after diagnosis, O. bacoti remains undetected.
