Edaphic mesostigmatid mites (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata) in a region of the Pampa biome of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesCiência Rural, 2020
: The diversity of edaphic mites in Brazilian natural environments is little known, especially in the Pampa biome, in southern region of Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity and abundance of edaphic fauna of mesostigmatid ...

Effect of host and environment related factors on the distribution of the ectoparasites of the montane grass mouse Akodon montensis (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in northeastern Argentina

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2022
Akodon montensis is dominant in the Urugua-í Provincial Park in northeastern Argentina. We analyse the effect of variables related to the hosts and the environment on the parasitic burden (PB), and specific richness and mean abundance of Laelapidae ...

INCIDENCE OF ECTOPARASITES ASSOCIATED WITH RODENT SPECIES Mus musculus L. AND Arvicanthus niloticus desmarest. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2004
Three families of ectoparasites associated with wild house mouse were recorded as Macronyssidae, Laelapidae and Dermanyssidae, the first family represented by 4 species i.e Omithonyssus bacoti (Hirst), Hirstionyssus sp < /em>. , Steatonyssus sp &

Body size‐dependent effects on the distribution patterns of phoretic mite species assemblages on Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
We report a high species richness of up to seven phoretic mite taxa, including five unspecified taxa, actively using the red palm weevil as a host in the first study of these organisms in Portugal. We also found body size‐dependent effects on the coexistence or exclusion of phoretic mite taxa that ultimately determine their distribution patterns on the

Host‐related and environmental factors influence long‐term ectoparasite infestation dynamics of mouse lemurs in northwestern Madagascar

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
The study revealed significant yearly changes in ectoparasite infestation for (a) Haemaphysalis spp. (ticks), (b) Schoutendenichia microcebi (mites), (c) Lemurpediculus spp. (lice), and (d) ectoparasite species richness. Displayed is the proportion of ectoparasite occurrence (yes: in black, no: in gray, a–c) and the distribution of the ectoparasite ...

Ectoparasite Fauna of Rodents and Shrews with Their Spatial, Temporal, and Dispersal along a Degradation Gradient in Mabira Central Forest Reserve

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Ectoparasites like fleas, mites, and ticks that are key carriers of harmful pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, cestodes, and nematodes live on rodents and shrews. It should be noted that rodents’ ecological adaptability makes them suitable as parasite hosts.

Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology – A case study from mires in Norway

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Including the juveniles explained a greater amount of the variability of Trombidiformes and Mesostigmata, but had less of an impact for Sarcoptiformes. Including juveniles increased the observed species richness by 6% in comparison to data based on adults only.
