a study on the oripodoid mites fauna (oribatida: oripodoidea) in miandoab region (west azerbaijan province) was carried out during 2015–2016. in this survey, 16 species belonging to three families and five genera are known, of which the species scheloribates ( scheloribates ) labyrinthicus jeleva, 1962 is recorded for the first time from iran. an additional description is provided for schelorib...

Abstract Background The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of Sarcoptiformes mites typically contain 37 genes. Although the loss genes is rare in mite mitogenomes, two six previously reported oribatid (Acariforms: Sarcoptiformes) are to have lost parts their tRNA To confirm whether were indeed and universal, we re-annotated available sequences sequenced mitogenome Oribatula sakamorii . Methods O was us...

This paper reviews the research on mites and ticks in Shanxi Province before 1 January 2015. We provided a checklist of 189 species belonging to 4 orders-Ixodida: 24 species in 2 families and 9 genera; Mesostigmata: 74 species in 12 families and 34 genera; Sarcoptiformes: 17 species in 10 families and 14 genera and Trombidiformes: 74 species in 15 families and 47 genera. Information on the host...

Mycophagy should not be considered as a single and homogeneous category of nutritional biology due to the specific symbiotic chitinolytic bacteria associated with mites and fungi. To test interaction among mites, fungi, and chitinolytic bacteria, experiments were conducted on the model species Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank). Mucor sp, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium claviforme, P. griseof...

Feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) are commensal ectosymbionts permanently living on avian hosts. The study was based parasitological examination of 59 bird specimens representing 28 species from the orders Accipitriformes, Apodiformes, Columbiformes, Passeriformes, Pelecaniformes, Strigiformes collected in Artvin, Samsun, Sakarya, Türkiye. We recovered 18 feather mite fam...

Bark beetles (Scolytinae) are hosts to a broad diversity of mites (Acari), including several genera of Oribatida (Sarcoptiformes). Of these, Paraleius (Scheloribatidae) species are the most frequently collected oribatid mites associated with bark beetles. A new species was discovered while surveying the acarofauna of bark beetles in Eastern Canada and is described as Paraleius leahaesp. n. (Ori...
