I found a fly outside in my yard - a smallish housefly appearing insect. It could not fly, because of a stunted wing, and so I captured it thinking it might be some sort of development mutant.  However on exam it proved to have at least 8 or 9 small mites attached to its body in a pack right behind the stunted wing- small, brown, and looking ticklike (I have seen similar clusters of young ticks on farm dogs. I put it in a jar with some healthy flies - so far no spread of mites.  I am in St. Louis, Missouri.
My questions:
  1:  Any ideas what sort of mites these might be?  Could they be ticks?
  2:  How do they spread from fly to fly?
  3:  Did they cause the stunted wing?
  4:  Obviously a flightless fly is in a bad way.  Is this the natural history of mite infestations on flies?  It seems maladaptive for the mites.

Thanks!
 

Acarology Researchers:

I am interested in any information on tissue cultures of any mite tissue.
 1.  Has it ever been done?  What species? What tissue?
 2.  Has this ever been published?  Citation?
 3.  Does anyone have any "words of wisdom" to someone who may attempt this?

I would appreciate any response addressing this subject.

Dear All:

Over the past two field seasons I have come across internal mites of bumble bees (_Bombus_ spp.). I believe that I am dealing with one type of mite, but would be very interested in finding out what, exactly, it is.

The only type of mite that I've read about being an internal parasite of bumble bees is _Locustacurus buchneri_. I hava a paper describing these mites with some very good diagrams but I'd like to get another, more expert, opinion as to what they are.

If anyone (preferably in Canada) would like to take a look at them, please drop me a line - I currently have some preserved in 70% ethanol.

Any comments, questions, etc. are welcomed.
 

Cheers,

Dear dr Zhang,
last July I sent to the Acarology list a message about the web site of the IV Euraac Symposium in Siena 2000 to pubblish it to the acarological comunity. Unfortunately, probably for technical reason, it didn't appeared in my email box. So, I write you the URL of this web site to divulgate to the other acarologist:

Hello.  I realize that you do not know me and that you are not a medical doctor.  This is just a shot in the dark for me.  I live in the States - and four months ago my family doctor told me I had scabies.  I have since been treated six times with elimite lotion ( peremethan).  In the middle of the treatments, I realized my son's pet rat appeared to have the same problem I did.  I took him to the vet, and sure enough he was diagnosed with mites.  The vet actually found one under the microscope.  He told me that it is rare, but that people can contact mites from animals.  That seems to explain why the first several treatments did not work ( I was holding the pet), but I am now at a loss for why they seem to keep reoccurring.  I have another appointment with a dermatologist Tuesday, but no one seems to be able to treat me with anything else.  Is this the best treatment available?  Do you know?  I have been miserable with itching and bumps now for four months, and I really want to get rid of this problem.
 
Please respond with any helpful information you might have.

I am no acarologist, but I will make a humble suggestion.  There is a medicine called ivermectin long used for animals, recently used for treatment of river blindness in Africa, and successfully used to treat "crusted scabies" (infestation with thousands of mites) in humans.  You could ask about trying ivermectin.  However one must suspect you are being reinfected from the environment.
- all family members must be treated, whether with ivermectin or conventional anti-scabies cream: often someone will be carrying the mite and not know it.
 - vacuum the house
- treat the rat and clean its cage
- good luck!
- consider: maybe it is a mite other than scabies?  This can happen.

However - above advice is still sound.

Hi all,

In addition to William's excellent suggestions, I would suggest checking out the entire structure for rodent and/or bird's nests.  I occasionally receive calls from people being bitten by rodent or fowl mites which often migrate from abandoned nests into living areas.  All nests should be removed and the area treated with a registered pesticide.

As I recall, true scabies mites burrow in the skin and can only be detected by analysis of skin scrapings.  Rodent and fowl mites just snack on the outside.

Cheers,
Dave Pehling

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS
(NOTE: Staffing listings are preliminary and will be updated over the next few months.)

Introductory Acarology
August 2 - 7: This intensive one-week workshop presents an overview of the identification, systematics, and biology of the major groups of Acari.  A second emphasis is techniques (study, collecting, preservation) used in acarology.  The course is designed as either a stand alone course or as an introduction for the novice to prepare for the other, more specialized workshop units (Klompen).

Parasitengona
August 2 - 13: This intensive two-week workshop will focus entirely on a single lineage, the Parasitengona.  The Parasitengona are a very diverse group of prostigmatid mites, including chiggers, velvet mites, and water mites.  As in all Summer Program courses, the main emphasis is on identification and systematics, but unlike the other workshops, this course will have a strong secondary emphasis on ecology and life-history.  The latter will include larval host- and post-larval habitat-specificity, biogeography, and behavior.  Week one will focus on the terrestrial Parasitengona, superfamilies Calyptostomatoidea, Erythraeoidea, and Trombidioidea.  Week two will concentrate on a single lineage, the Hydracarina or water mites.  Collection and rearing techniques will be demonstrated. Lecturers include Roger Mitchell, Bruce Smith, Ian Smith, Cal Welbourn, and Andreas Wohltmann.

Oribatida
August 9 -14: This intensive one-week workshop will review one of the largest radiations in the Acari, the Oribatida.  Given their status as a major component of the soil invertebrate fauna, Oribatida will be of particular interest to soil ecologists.  The main emphasis is on identification and systematics of both adults and immatures, but this course will have a strong secondary emphasis on ecology and life-history. (Norton).

Agricultural Acarology
August 9 - 20: This intensive two-week workshop reviews the mites associated with crops, ornamental plants, and stored products with a major emphasis on identification and classification.  A secondary emphasis is on ecology and control.  Control aspects include the use of mites in biocontrol.  Specifically  discussed groups will be the Phytoseiidae (Welbourn, de Moraes, McMurtry), Eriophyoidea (Amrine), Tetranychoidea (Welbourn, Wrensch), Parasitengona, Tarsonemida and miscellaneous Prostigmata (Welbourn) and stored product mites (OConnor).

Medical - Veterinary Acarology / tick week
August 16 - 20:  The limited version of this workshop offered this year will focus on ticks only.  Identification of important forms to the specific level will be stressed in lab.  Discussions of tick systematics, morphology, physiology, and epidemiology will be presented.  Dr. Burgdorfer will discuss the current status of Lyme disease and Ixodes ticks, and spotted fever group rickettsiae. (Burgdorfer, Demaree, Durden, Needham, Robbins).  Due to declining interest, week 2, dealing with mites of medical - veterinary importance (including dust mites), will not be offered this year.  It will be offered on an alternating basis, starting next year.

Dear all,

Now new announcement for 4th International Symposium on Population Dynamics of Plant- Inhabiting Mites (Kyoto, Japan, May 10- 14, 1999) can be available from the web page at:

http://www.affrc.go.jp:8001/acari/Population_Dynamics/

The contents are as below:

4th International Symposium on Population Dynamics of Plant-Inhabiting Mites

(Fourth Announcement, 24 November, 1998)

Kyoto, Japan, May 10- 14, 1999

ANNOUNCEMENT

NEW DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS JANUARY 31, 1999.

The deadline for registration has been extended one month. The registration and presentation forms and payment must be received by January 31, 1999. The fees and payment method are the same as in the Third Announcement.

The Symposium

This Symposium is a follow-up of the three previous symposia. The first (1987) and second (1991) ones were convened by Prof. M. W. Sabelis in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the third (1995) one by Prof. G. Nachman in Gilleleje, Denmark. The three previous symposia consisted of a small number of participants, less than 100 people, and all were very successful and stimulating meetings, with intensive discussions on selected topics.

 This Symposium has been traditionally named "Population Dynamics of Mites". However, it has covered almost all areas of acarology: ecology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, pest management, chemical ecology, behavior, and so on. Thus, the Symposium aims to bring together scientists in various research fields, to exchange ideas and to stimulate future research. We look forward to seeing you in Kyoto in 1999.
