Extract

Since its discovery in France by Mégnin (1878), Cheyletiella parasitivorax has been found in many countries—on rabbits (Oudemans, 1906; Pillars, 1925; Ford, 1944; Mykytowycz, 1957a; Womersley, 1941), on the dog (Humphreys, 1958), fox (Kuscher, 1940), cat (Niggli & Teuscher, 1959; Davies, 1941), man (Olsen & Roth, 1947) and even in phoretic association with fleas (Cooper, 1946). Hirst (1917) was the first to find the species in Britain and there have been several more recent records from this country.
