The stray cats population in Indonesia is increasing. This increased of stray cats population is because stray cats breed easily. The increased strayncats population has a high potential for the spread of disease between stray cats. One of them is a disease caused by ectoparasite infestation in stray cats. Ectoparasites that can infected stray cats are mites, lice and fleas. Ectoparasite infestations cause discomfort, pain, cause death in the long term and can transmit disease to humans (zoonosis). This study aims to investigate ectoparasite infestations on stray cats in the IPB Gunung Gede campus area. The study was conducted on 18 stray cats consisting of 10 female and 8 male cats for 2 days. Physical examination of the animals was carried out to check for ectoparasite infestation followed by microscopic examination of skin scraping and earwax samples use 10% KOH. Physical examination of stray cats showed that 18 stray cats were positive for ectoparasites with more than one ectoparasite infestation. The presentation of ectoparasite infestation on stray cats was 100% consisting of 88% mite infestation, 33% lice infestation and 55% flea infestation. Mite infestation was higher than lice and fleas, this was due to the very diverse on cats. Mite infestation consisting of Otodectes cynotis 77%, Sarcoptes scabiei 27.7%, Lynxacarus radovskyi 33% and Cheyletiella sp 5.5%. The high infestation of mites in stray cats can cause zoonotic diseases, otitis, allergic reactions and death.
