Effect of Selamectin spot-on against the Lynxacarus radovskyi infestation in cats

Lynxacarus radovskyi is a fur mite that is found on the hair shafts of cats. Two adult Persian cats from the same household presented to the clinic with mild alopecia, pruritus and “pepper and salt” appearance over the dorsum region. Lynxacarus radovskyi mites were found on the hair upon microscopic inspection. Cats were administered with selamectin spot-on once in month for a period of three months. The cat had complete full recovery following therapy.
