FIVE CASES OF HUMAN INFESTATION WITH FELINE SCABIES, NOTOEDRES CATI (ACARINA: SARCOPTIDAE)
Five members involving two families infested with feline mange mite, Notoedres cati (Hering, 1838) in Okayama City were reported. Dermatitis in the present patients had its source in scabby cats kept as an animal pet. The cutaneous findings of the patients indicated the eruption observable diagnostically similar to those of human scabies caused by Sarcoptes scabiei (De Geer, 1778), but not any scabby worm or a tunnel was to be seen in the skin of the present patients.
