Effect of ivermectin on murine mites.
Two SC injections of ivermectin (200 micrograms/kg of body weight), given one week apart, safely and effectively eliminated mite infestations (Myocoptes musculinus and Myobia musculi) from laboratory mice. When one 200 micrograms/kg or one 100 micrograms/kg injection of ivermectin was given to the mice, mite infestations were reduced temporarily.
