Özet:

 

Psorergates rattus Fain & Goff, 1986 has been found in the brown rat Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) in Poland.The species has previously been found only once, in the tail base of the brown rat in the United States. In the present case, ten rats from two  localities  in  Poland  (Pomerania)  were  examined  and  infestation  was  discovered  in  20%  of  them,  with  a  total  of  12  mites  found.  This is not only the first discovery of the species in Poland and the second globally, but also the first observation of representatives of Psorergatidae in rodents of the genus Rattus in Europe. Moreover, immature specimens of P. rattus have been observed for the first time.The  infestation  was  asymptomatic,  although  in  the  earlier  study  mange  was  observed  despite  the  relatively  low  density  of  the  mites,  which indicates a potential pathogenic threat not only to wild rat populations, but also to laboratory animals and pets.
