Grand challenges in feather mite biology

Zoosymposia, 2022
In the 26 years since Gaud and Atyeo (1996) published their seminal work “Feather Mites of the World”, remarkable progress has been made in increasing the number of described feather mite species and host-mite records. Advances in molecular genetic methods are shedding light on relationships both among higher taxa and within species.

FEATHERMITES(ACARI: ASTIGMATA): Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution

Annual Review of Entomology, 2003
Birds host many lineages of symbiotic mites, but the greatest diversity is shown by the three superfamilies of astigmatan feather mites: Analgoidea, Pterolichoidea, and Freyanoidea. Members of this diphyletic grouping have colonized all parts of the avian integument from their ancestral nidicolous habitat.

Feather Mites of Obligate Brood Parasites

The Journal of Parasitology, 1983
Brood parasites occur in the avian families Cuculidae (cuckoos), Indicatoridae (honeyguides), Plo- ceidae (Old World finches), Icteridae (cowbirds), and Anatidae (ducks). In general each has a feather mite fauna similar to related nonparasitic species.

Feather mites are potentially an important source of allergens for pigeon and budgerigar keepers [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 1997
Background: Previous studies on allergy to feathers have not addressed whether organisms living on feathers (mites, lice, moulds) are a source of allergens.

Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2021
Two new species of the feather mite genus Proctophyllodes (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae) are described from two passerine birds (Passeriformes) in China: Proctophyllodes scleroticus sp. nov. from the Brandt's Mountain Finch Leucosticte brandti pallidior

Two new feather mites of the genus Proctophyllodes Robin (Acari formes: Proctophyllodinae) from passerines in Brazil

Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2021
Proctophyllodes Robin (Proctophyllodidae: Proctophyllodinae) is a widely distributed feather mite genus, which most species show high level of specificity to their bird hosts.
