Factors associated with diversity, quantity and zoonotic potential of ectoparasites on urban mice and voles. [PDF]
Wild rodents are important hosts for tick larvae but co-infestations with other mites and insects are largely neglected. Small rodents were trapped at four study sites in Berlin, Germany, to quantify their ectoparasite diversity.

NEW DATA ON TWO GAMASID MITES (ACARI: MESOSTIGMATA) FROM RUSSIA [PDF]
We present the first record of Longoseius (Longoseius) longus (Mesostigmata: Digamasellidae) from Russia. It was collected on a longhorn beetle Stictoleptura variicornis (Dalman) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). In addition, a detailed redescription of the female Leioseius mirabilis Nikolsky, 1981 (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) is provided.

Symbiosis in an overlooked microcosm: a systematic review of the bacterial flora of mites [PDF]
A dataset of bacterial diversity found in mites was compiled from 193 publications (from 1964 to January 2015). A total of 143 mite species belonging to the 3 orders (Mesostigmata, Sarcoptiformes and Trombidiformes) were recorded and found to be ...
