Notoedres muris (outdated name Notoedres notoedres ) is a representative of the mite that occurs as a permanent, stationary parasite , especially in rodents . It occurs in rats (→ mange of the rat ) and golden hamsters . The development cycle takes about three weeks.
N. muris is shaped like a turtle and has short legs, whereby the third and fourth pair of legs do not protrude over the side of the body. The mite is about 400 µm in size and therefore much larger than Notoedres cati . In addition, N. muris shows longitudinal stripes on the back. The anus on the back is further to the side than in the N. cati .
