Abstract
Notoedric mange (Notoedres cati) was found in a neonate Florida panthe r (Felis concolor coryi) and presumably its mother on 22 June 1992 and 8 February 1993, respectively, in Collier County, Florida (USA). Both infestations were treated successfully with 0.2 mg/kg ivermectin. Thi s is the first known case of notoedric mange in the endangered Florida panther.
