Abstract: Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity of acetate tape impression with skin squeezing and superficial skin scraping methods for the diagnosis of burrowing mites ( Notoedres cati) in cats. Methods Samples were collected from 50 cats showing signs of notoedric mange. The most affected region was selected for sampling using acetate tape impression with skin squeezing, and superficial skin scraping. Results No significant difference was observed in the number of mites found by both methods… Show more

“…Th ere are several strategies for feline scabies therapy that mainly depend on the availability of active antiparasitics and the severity of the disease. Th e systemic use of ivermectin administered in our case was oft en implemented in the treatment of feline mites (Sampaio et al, 2017). It should be noted that, in the meantime, new "spot-on" formulations of safer antiparasitics based on imidacloprid 10% / moxidectin 1% for cats have been developed that are more accessible on markets (Hellmann et al, 2013).…”

“…54,59,65 Diagnostic tests which may prove useful in identifying these mites include superficial skin scrapings (D. gatoi, Notoedres, Cheyletiella, ectopic Otodectes and trombiculid mites), deep skin scrapings (D. cati), direct examination of epilated hairs (D. gatoi, Lynxacarus, and the asyet-unnamed third species of feline Demodex mite), collection and examination of surface debris (Cheyletiella and ectopic Otodectes), acetate tape impressions of affected skin (Notoedres, D. gatoi, ectopic Otodectes, Cheyletiella and trombiculid mites), ear swabbings or collection of material using Volkmann curettes (Otodectes and D. cati), and direct examination of the affected area using a magnifying lens or otoscope (Otodectes, Trombiculid mites and Cheyletiella). 55,57,61,[64][65][66][67] Faecal examination is occasionally useful for identification of mites. 55,57,67,[68][69][70] Because many of these mites are contagious to other cats, sampling in-contact animals (which if asymptomatic may be less prone to dislodging/ingesting the mites on their own) may be useful.…”

“…In these cases, N. cati mites were identified in high numbers through skin scraping, coat brushing, acetate tape impression, flotation, and Baermann techniques. The acetate tape impression was found to have similar results with skin scraping, and it was able to isolate the mite from cats with negative skin scrapings ( 20 ). Cats can ingest accidentally ectoparasites during grooming and thereafter can be identified in the feces.…”
