control of psoroptes cuniculi in captive white-tailed deer with ivermectin-treated corn.	psoroptes cuniculi, the ear mite of domestic rabbits, was collected from captive white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). this is the first report of rabbit ear mite infestations in white-tailed deer in oklahoma or texas (usa). in addition to moderate infestations in their ears, two 4-yr-old bucks, two 3-yr-old does, and seven 4-yr-old does showed patchy areas of alopecia along the sides and brisket. both bucks also had patchy areas of alopecia around the base of antlers. ear mites were eradi ...	1991	2067046
blackbuck antelope (antilope cervicapra), a new host for psoroptes cuniculi (acari: psoroptidae).	information was requested on the cause of extensive lesions and death of a blackbuck antelope (antilope cervicapra). psoroptes cuniculi, the ear mite of domestic rabbits, was identified as the cause of the lesions. death of the antelope was attributed to a secondary bacterial infection. this is the first report of p. cuniculi on blackbuck antelope. the potential impact of these mites on blackbuck antelope and other exotics in texas is unknown.	1988	3352089
genetic evidence suggests that psoroptes isolates of different phenotypes, hosts and geographic origins are conspecific.	the second internal transcribed spacer of the rrna gene was characterised in 15 psoroptes isolates collected from the ears or bodies of rabbits, goats, sheep and cattle originating from four continents. morphologically, the isolates were differentiated as psoroptes cuniculi, psoroptes ovis and psoroptes cervinus. genotypically, the isolates were highly homogeneous, except for the existence of different rdna classes. in view of previous phenotypic data, a possible conspecificity of these species ...	1998	9846608
