Redescription of Female Laelaps nuttalli Hirst, 1915 (Acari: Dermanyssoidea: Laelapidae) with Emphasis on Its Gnathosoma, Sense Organs and Pulvilli

open access: yesInternational Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The present scanning electron microscopic (SEM) study includes the redescription of female Laelaps nuttalli with emphasis on its gnathosoma and pulvilli which were rarely described in superfamily Dermanyssoidea. Chaetotaxy of dorsal shield revealed 40 pairs of setae, 22 on prosoma and 18 on opisthosoma.

Efficacy of a novel neem oil formulation (RP03™) to control the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Dermanyssus gallinae (Mesostigmata: Dermanyssidae) is the most harmful ectoparasite of laying hens, represents an occupational hazard for poultry workers, and a growing threat to medical science per se. There is increasing demand for alternative products,

Host phylogeny, geographic overlap, and roost sharing shape parasite communities in European bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
How multitrophic relationships between wildlife communities and their ectoparasitic vectors interact to shape the diversity of vector-borne microorganisms is poorly understood. Nested levels of dependence among microbes, vectors, and vertebrate hosts may

MACRONYSSIDAE IN WILD BIRD NESTS IN MEXICO, INCLUDING NEW SYNONYMIES, AND THE GENUS PELLONYSSUS IN THE NEW WORLD (ACARI: MESOSTIGMATA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Pellonyssus nidicolus Baker, Delfinado, and Abbatiello, 1976 is relegated to the status of a junior synonym of Pellonyssus reedi (Zumpt and Patterson, 1952). The synonymy of Pellonyssus passeri Clark and Yunker, 1956 with P. reedi is sustained.

Structure of ectoparasite communities of Nyctalus species (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in the Zhiguli State Nature Reserve and Samarskaya Luka National Park (European Russia)

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука
The ectoparasites of the bats (Chiroptera) often act as carriers of infectious agents dangerous to animals and humans. This determines the relevance of studying ectoparasite communities.

First record of Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais) (Acari: Macronyssidae) on Python reticulatus (Schneider) (Pythonidae) in Brazil

open access: yesEntomoBrasilis, 2018
. Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais) frequently parasitizes snakes kept under human care. This mite is known to mechanically transmit the bacteria Proteus hydrophilus, which can cause hemorrhagic sepsis in snakes. This is the first record of O. natricis mite

Diversity of bartonellae in mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) of boreal forest bats: Association of host specificity of mites and habitat selection of hosts with vector potential

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 518-529, December 2024.
Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...
