The fur mite is a highly contagious zoonotic mite that causes skin disorders in rabbits. In this case report, four rabbits with a fur mite infestation were treated with a single dermal application of permethrin (65%) at a dose of 0.1 ml. All the rabbits were treated successfully with permethrin without any adverse reactions at 8 weeks after treatment. This suggests that permethrin is an effective treatment for fur mite infestations in rabbits.

This studies were made to identify and classify the mites infected in the fur of mice in Taegu from Oct. 1977 to Feb. 1978. The collected mites were mounted by Modified Bereles's Medium for permanent preparations. The classification of body setae was followed as proposed by Sawazaki. The results were as follows: 1. The species discovered were two species of Myobia musculi (Scnrank, 1781) and Myocoptes musculinus (Koch, 1840). 2. The infection rate of M. musculinus was 100% of total 55 mice but M. musculi was detected only in two cases. 3. One pairs of ventral body seta ($V_2b$) of musculi was newly discovered at the ventral surface of just under the base of the 2nd leg.

Biological control of Tetranychus urticae by Phytoseiulus persimilis was observed in eggp1ant greenhouse fur spring and autumn season culture. Tetranychus urticae was controlled to low density of less than 1 mite from June 24 after p. persimilis were released 3 times at rate of 10 per plant on June 1, 11, and 18, 2004 in spring season experiment. The population of Tetranychus urticae was also less than 1 mite per eggp1ant leaf from September 1 to October 22 after three times releases of 10 P. persimilis in autumn season experiment. In Phytoseiulus persimilis released plot, the percentage of leaves with T. urticae adults and nymphs were 8.6$\sim$13.3% and 5% or less in spring and autumn season experiment. The density of T urticae was from 1 to 2 on leaves with T urticae adults and nymphs.
