Various stages of both live and dead mites of Caparinia tripilis collected from hedgehogs ( Atelerix albiventris ). A, Live mites collected from hedgehogs in the control group without any chemotherapy by skin scraping in the posterior dorsal neck region. Live mites can be easily distinguished from dead mites by their active motility and retention of their body conformation. B, Dead mites collected from hedgehogs 3 days after treatment with 0.1 ml/kg b.w. of 10% imidacloprid + 1% moxidectin (Advocate® for Cats, Bayer Animal Health GmbH, Leverkusen, Germany). Bar = 1 mm.
