Ten taxa were recorded, and their taxonomic positions are shown in a table. Key words: ticks, mites, birds, Wild Animal Medical Center, Japan Epidemiological surveys are an essential conservation tool for fully understanding infectious diseases. In 2004, we began an investigation of avian parasitic diseases at the Wild Animal Medical Center of the Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine of Rakuno Gakuen University, Japan (Asakawa 2010; Asakawa et al. 2002, 2013; Hirayama et al. 2013). This paper summarizes the findings of seven publications on avian ticks and parasitic mites (Nakamura et al. 2003; Uemura et al. 2010; Yoshino et al. 2003, 2009a, b, 2011, 2013). During submission of a publication for the proceedings of the 14th International Congress of Acarology, Kyoto, taxonomical inconsistencies, including invalid names or synonyms for mite species, were reported to us.

ABSTRACT: Ornithonyssus sylviarum is a hematophagous mite present in wild, domestic, and synanthropic birds. However, this mite can affect several vertebrate hosts, including humans, leading to dermatitis, pruritus, allergic reactions, and papular skin lesions. This study evaluated the epidemiological characteristics of O. sylviarum attacks on poultry workers, including data on laying hens, infrastructure and management of hen houses, and reports of attacks by hematophagous mites. In addition, a case of mite attack on a farm worker on a laying farm in the Midwest region in Minas Gerais is presented. It was found that 60.7% farm workers reported attacks by hematophagous mites. Correspondence analysis showed an association between reports of mite attacks in humans with (1) presence of O. sylviarum in the hen house, (2) manual removal of manure by employees, and (3) history of acaricide use.

    International Research Journal of Natural Sciences Vol.3, No.3, pp.48-53, December 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF MITES (ACARI: ACARIFORMES AND PARASITIFORMES) IN NESTS OF THE SEMI-COLLARED FLYCATCHER (FICEDULA SEMITORQUATA) R. Davidova, V. Vasilev, N. Ali, J. Bakalova Konstantin Preslavsky University of Shumen, 115, Universitetska Str., Shumen, 9700, Bulgaria. ABSTRACT: The aims of the present paper are to establish the specific structure of communities of prostigmatic and mesostigmatic mites in nests of the semi-collared flycatcher (Ficedula semitorquata) and to compare the fauna with the mites in nests of two other European flycatchers. For analysis of community structure of mites were used the indices: prevalence, relative density, mean intensity and dominance. Mite communities are strongly dominated by the species Dermanyssus gallinae and Ornithonyssus sylviarum, which were found with the highest frequency and dominance. The mite communities are characterized by a large number of subrecedent species. KEYWORDS: Acariformes, Parasitiformes, Nest of Bird, Community Structure INTRODUCTION The nests of different species of birds are an example of a fairly unstable and isolated habitat, with its own dependent on it specific fauna which involves different groups of invertebrate animals. One of the components of this fauna which demonstrates particular abundance is the arthropods, and more specifically, the mites. The studies of Parasitiformes show that mesostigmatic mites living in birds' nests vary both in terms of their species affiliation and the structure of their communities [4, 8]. Highly important with respect to veterinary science and medicine are a number of species, such as Ornithonyssus bursa, Ornithonyssus sylviarum, Dermanyssus gallinae harboured by birds, Ornithonyssus bacoti, harboured by rodents, etc.

    A New Species of the Feather Mite Genus Analges Nitzsch

    Acarina 27 (1): 19–43 © Acarina 2019 A NEW SPECIES OF THE FEATHER MITE GENUS ANALGES NITZSCH, 1818 (ACARIFORMES: ANALGIDAE) FROM THE STREAKED SPIDERHUNTER ARACHNOTHERA MAGNA (PASSERIFORMES: NECTARINIIDAE), WITH A RENEWED DIAGNOSIS AND WORLD CHECKLIST TO THE GENUS Sergey V. Mironov Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A renewed generic diagnosis of the genus Analges Nitzsch, 1818 (Analgidae: Analginae) is proposed, and several corrections in the species content and taxonomic structure of the genus Analges are made. Designation of Analges passerinus (Linnaeus, 1758) as a type species of the genus Analges by von Heyden (1826) has indisputable priority over A. chelopus (Her- mann, 1804) as designated by Trouessart (1916) and incorrectly used by many subsequent researchers. Therefore, the subgenus Analgopsis Trouessart, 1919, which was established with the same type species, A. passerinus, is here synonymized with the genus Analges. The monotypic genus Plesialges Trouessart 1919, placed by Gaud and Atyeo (1996) into the genus Analges Nitzsch, 1818 and so far treated as a subgenus, is removed from Analges and suggested to be a distinct genus. In the concept proposed herein, the genus Analges is not subdivided into subgenera, but several of its species are arranged into two newly established species groups: chelopus and passerinus. A new feather mite species Analges arachnotherae sp. n. is described from Arachnothera magna (Hodgson) (Nectariniidae) from Vietnam. A world checklist of species of Analges is provided for the first time and includes 64 valid species names. It also includes synonyms and important misidentifications and provides comments to complicate taxonomic cases.

Illinois Natural History Survey, Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 6 1816 S. Oak St., Champaign, IL 61820, USA 7 8 *Corresponding authors: Jorge Doña & Kevin Johnson; e-mail: [email protected] & [email protected] 9 10 Abstract: Symbionts have a unique mode of life that has attracted the attention of ecologists and 11 evolutionary biologists for centuries. As a result of this attention, these disciplines have produced 12 a mature body of literature on host-symbiont interactions. In contrast, the discipline of symbiont 13 conservation is still in a foundational stage. Here, we aim to integrate methodologies on symbiont 14 coevolutionary biology with the perspective of conservation. We focus on host-symbiont 15 cophylogenies, because they have been widely used to study symbiont diversification history and 16 contain information on symbiont extinction. However, cophylogenetic information has never been 17 used nor adapted to the perspective of conservation. Here, we propose a new statistic, 18 “cophylogenetic extinction rate” (Ec), based on coevolutionary knowledge, that uses data from 19 event-based cophylogenetic analyses, and which could be informative to assess relative symbiont 20 extinction risks. Finally, we propose potential future research to further develop estimation of 21 symbiont extinction risk from cophylogenetic analyses and continue the integration of this existing 22 knowledge of coevolutionary biology and cophylogenetics into future symbiont conservation 23 studies and practices. 24 25 Keywords: coevolution, coextinction risk, conservation biology, cophylogenies, host-symbiont 26 interactions, parasites.

But in other sites viz Kalpetta and Mananthavady its prevalence was found to be low. Presence of tick species like Haemaphysalis bispinosa, Haemaphysalis spinigera, Amblyomma integrum. and Boophilus(Rhipicephalus) annulatus. was also noticed from the host animals surveyed. Keywords: Kyasanur Forest Disease, Ixodid ticks, Ectoparasite, Haemaphysalis Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) 1. Introduction Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD), also referred to as monkey fever is an infectious bleeding disease in monkey and human caused by a highly pathogenic virus called KFD virus. It is an acute prostrating febrile illness, transmitted by infective ticks, especially, Haemaphysalis spinigera. Later KFD viruses also reported from sixteen other species of ticks. Rodents, Shrews, Monkeys and birds upon tick bite become reservoir for this virus. This disease was first reported from the Shimoga district of Karnataka, India in March 1955. Common targets of the virus among monkeys are langur (Semnopithecus entellus) and bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata).

    EENY-297 Tropical Fowl Mite, Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese) (Arachnida: Acari: Macronyssidae)1 H. A. Denmark and H. L. Cromroy2 Introduction The tropical fowl mite, commonly found on birds, has become a pest to people in areas of high bird populations or where birds are allowed to roost on roofs, around the eaves of homes, and office buildings. Nesting birds are the worst offenders. After the birds abandon their nests, the mites move into the building through windows, doors, and vents and bite the occupants. The bite is irritating, and some individuals react to the bite with prolonged itching and painful dermatitis. Several to many reports are received each year of mites invading homes. The mites are usually the tropical fowl mite found in the central and southern areas of the state. The northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fan- zago), a close relative, is also found in Florida. Synonyms Leiognathus bursa Berlese (1888) Figure 1.

    Three Feather Mites(Acari: Sarcoptiformes: Astigmata)

    Journal of Species Research 8(2):215-224, 2019 Three feather mites (Acari: Sarcoptiformes: Astigmata) isolated from Tringa glareola in South Korea Yeong-Deok Han and Gi-Sik Min* Department of Biological Sciences, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea *Correspondent: [email protected] We describe three feather mites recovered from a wood sandpiper Tringa glareola that was stored in a -20°C freezer at the Chungnam Wild Animal Rescue Center. These feather mites are reported for the first time in South Korea: Avenzoaria totani (Canestrini, 1978), Ingrassia veligera Oudemans, 1904 and Mon­ tchadskiana glareolae Dabert and Ehrnsberger, 1999. In this study, we provide morphological diagnoses and illustrations. Additionally, we provide partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene as molecular characteristics of three species.
