Medically important trombiculids: a systematic review of the global distribution and clinical consequences of their bites

open access: yesRevista Peruana de Investigación en Salud, 2021
Background: Mites are among the smallest arthropods that can be seen without magnification, were the use of dermatoscopy is an invaluable tool. They are a cosmopolitan pest, and at the moment more than 250 species have been shown to produce problems for ...

Forest Matters Most for Hirsutiella zachvatkini (Schluger, 1948): A Survey of Rodent Infestation in Four Localities within the Mazury Lake District, NE Poland

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The family Trombiculidae encompasses numerous and widespread mites, the larvae of which are obligatory parasites of vertebrates. Our research objective was to assess how trombiculid burdens on rodents inhabiting three forested and one open area in NE ...

Are whole‐organism performance and thermal preference linked to endo‐ and ectoparasites in a short‐lived lizard?

open access: yesEthology, Volume 129, Issue 8, Page 432-443, August 2023., 2023
We showed that parasitised and unparasitised garden skinks (Lampropholis guichenoti) did not differ in whole‐organism performance (endurance and foraging efficiency) or their thermal preference. However, sprint speed was negatively related to ectoparasite infection.

In Vivo Observation of Trombiculosis with Fluorescence–Advanced Videodermatoscopy

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Trombiculosis is a skin infestation by larvae of mites of the Trombiculidae family. We used fluorescence–advanced videodermatoscopy to diagnose trombiculosis in a woman in Italy with targetoid patches. This method might be useful for identifying atypical

Morphological and molecular diagnosis of two new species of Trypanosoma Gruby, 1843 infecting South African cordylid lizards (Squamata: Cordylidae: Cordylinae), Trypanosoma (Squamatrypanum) ndumoensis n. sp. and Trypanosoma (Trypanosoma) tokoloshi n. sp.

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 70, Issue 4, July/August 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite reptile trypanosomes forming a large group, the majority of species descriptions are data deficient, lacking key characteristic data and supporting molecular data. Reptile hosts show potential to facilitate transmission of zoonotic trypanosomiases and offer key information to understanding the genus of Trypanosoma.

PARASITIC SYSTEM OF SCRUB TYPHUS: CHIGGER MITES (ACARIFORMES, TROMBICULIDAE) AS VECTORS AND RESERVIOURS OF INFECTION IN SOUTH EAST ASIA

open access: yesMedical Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases, 2023
This review is dedicated to chigger mites (Trombiculidae) as vectors and reservoirs of infection in scrub typhus foci in South East Asia. Here we review biology, infection rates in natural and anthropurgic foci of scrub typhus.

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 ...

New species records of Quadraseta Brennan, 1970 (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae) in South America

open access: yesEntomological Communications, 2021
The genus Quadraseta Brennan, 1970 (Trombiculidae) is distributed in South American, with a few records from Central America. The larvae (chiggers) are primarily mammal parasites, with one species from birds.
