A clinical case of demodicosis was recorded in a 2.5 year old HF-cross cow. Millet-seed to pea sized nodular eruptions, containing yellowish pasty material and numerous cigar-shaped Demodex bovis mites, were found scattered over both sides of the neck, shoulder and face. Treatment with two doses of ivermectin @ 0.2 mg kg−1 body weight given subcutaneously at monthly interval resulted in partial improvement in the condition.
