A new technique for the isolation of Demodex bovis from preserved infected material.
A technique for the preservation of infected material from lesions of bovine demodicosis is described, together with a simple method for the isolation and permanent mounting of individual Demodex bovis mites. The technique is based on the fact that the mites float up from pus and cell debris, from which they can easily be collected.
