SUMMARY The recently described species, Raillietia manfredi was recovered from ears of 24/185 (13%) goats and from 17/23 (74%) herds sampled. Psoroptes cuniculi was recovered from ears of 38/185 (21%) goats and from 5/23 (22%) herds. The youngest goat infested with R. manfredi was 14 days old. Common clinical signs attributed to ear mite infestation included twitching and scratching of ears, and head shaking.
