Molecular phylogeny reveals Varroa mites are not a separate family but a subfamily of Laelapidae [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVarroa mites, notorious for parasitizing honeybees, are generally classified as Varroidae. Their extremely modified morphologies and behaviors have led to debates regarding their phylogenetic position and classification as an independent family.

Arthropod parasites of Antarctic and Subantarctic birds and pinnipeds: A review of host-parasite associations [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020 Due to its cold and dry climate and scarcity of ice-free land, Antarctica has one of the most extreme environments on our planet. To survive in the Antarctic region, parasitic arthropods must either remain closely associated with their hosts throughout ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Acari: Laelapidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 In this study, we recovered the complete mitochondrial genome of Stratiolaelaps scimitus through Illumina sequencing data. The circularized mitogenome is 16,009 in length, which consists of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ...
