Abstract

Two captive-bred golden-handed tamarins, Saguinus midas L., 1758 (Primates: Cebidae), kept in households in Japan, presented with psoriasis-like plaques on their faces, along with scale, alopecia, and itching. Histopathological examination revealed numerous Demodex mites in the hair follicles, and the clinical symptoms in both cases improved after treatment with fluralaner. Based on the morphological and genetic characteristics of the mites collected from tamarins, we describe a new species of Demodex. This new species is the fifth valid Demodex species recorded from primates.

金手犭胥(灵长类：宿蝇科)皮肤中的一种新的脱虱(acari: Demodecidae)

日本家庭饲养的两只人工饲养的金手犭胥（L.，1758）（灵长类：宿螨科）脸部出现类似牛皮癣的斑块，并伴有鳞屑、脱发和瘙痒。组织病理学检查发现毛囊中有大量螨虫，在使用氟拉那尔治疗后，两个病例的临床症状均有所改善。根据从狨猴身上采集到的螨虫的形态和遗传特征，我们描述了一种新的螨虫。该新物种是灵长类动物中记录的第五个有效物种。

期刊介绍： The International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife (IJP-PAW) publishes the results of original research on parasites of all wildlife, invertebrate and vertebrate. This includes free-ranging, wild populations, as well as captive wildlife, semi-domesticated species (e.g. reindeer) and farmed populations of recently domesticated or wild-captured species (e.g. cultured fishes). Articles on all aspects of wildlife parasitology are welcomed including taxonomy, biodiversity and distribution, ecology and epidemiology, population biology and host-parasite relationships. The impact of parasites on the health and conservation of wildlife is seen as an important area covered by the journal especially the potential role of environmental factors, for example climate. Also important to the journal is ''one health'' and the nature of interactions between wildlife, people and domestic animals, including disease emergence and zoonoses.
