Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
In August 1929 the writer examined a colony of white rats which were being used in a nutrition experiment. These rats were scratching themselves about the head, nose and neck. Many had small dry scabs on the head, about the ears, and upper sides of the neck. Some had bloody scabs due to bleeding caused by severe scratching. Parasitic infestation was suspected and microscopic examination showed the presence of mites.
