*Parasite of rabbits
*Common among conventional rabbits
*Transmitted via contact
*Adapted to living in an aural environment
'''Pathogenesis'''
*The ears are painful and intensely pruritic
*Affected rabbits shake their heads and scratch their ears
*The inner surfaces of the pinnae are covered with brown, scaly, fetid material, and the skin beneath is raw
*Mites are grossly visible
*Histologically, there is chronic erosive and proliferative eosinophilic dermatitis
**The mites are non-burrowing and thus are found only in the exudate, not in the tissue
'''Diagnosis'''
*Microscopic examination for mites (low magnification)
*Appearance
'''Control'''
*Infestations are difficult to eliminate from a colony
**Ivermectin is usually effective
