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.

Structure and molecular evolution of the barcode fragment of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) in Macrocheles (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macrochelidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 In the present study, we used all available data to explore the evolutionary relationships, divergence time, and amino acid variation of COI barcode fragment of Macrocheles. Our results revealed the less conserved structure of COI in Macrocheles species compared with arthropods.

Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis Med MicrobiolRickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

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 ...
