*Known as feline scabies
*Also common ectoparasite of tropical bats
*Parasite of cats, rats, man and rabbits
'''Recognition'''
*Similar to ''Sarcoptes''
*Less distinct angles on body surface
*Females have suckers on legs 1 and 2
*Females are about 225μm in length and males 150μm
*Anal opening is distinctly dorsal (not posterior)
'''Pathogenesis'''
*Infection begins on the ear tips and spreads over the body
*''Notoedres cati'' in [[Parasitic skin infections - Pathology#Notoedric mites|notoedric skin infestation]]
*Causes dermatitis
*Burrowing of females damages keratinocytes leading to cytokine release
*Hypersensitivity reaction may occur
'''Diagnosis'''
*Superficial skin scraping
*A single nest in a scraping may yield many mites[[Category:Burrowing_Mites]]
