Abstract

Severe dermatitis caused by trombiculid mite infestation was observed in an Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi). The mite was identified as Leptotrombidium miyajimai. This is the first report of trombiculid mite-associated cutaneous lesions in Amami rabbits and also the first direct evidence of L. miyajimai parasitism of this host species.
