In fact, of course, they can be lethally fast, spectacularly beautiful, surprisingly affectionate and very sophisticated” (Sir David Frederick Attenborough, 2008) RESUMO MENDOZA-ROLDAN, J. A. Estudos morfológicos e investigação da presença de bactérias e protozoários em ácaros (Trombidiformes), parasitos de répteis e anfíbios, no estado de São Paulo. [Morphological studies and presence research of bacteria and protozoa in mites (Trombidiformes), parasites of reptiles ans amphibians from the state of São Paulo]. 2015. 198 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) – Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo. 2015 O Brasil é um país megadiverso em herpetofauna, e do total da diversidade brasileira, aproximadamente 30% das espécies de répteis e 27% das espécies de anfíbios ocorrem no estado de São Paulo. A grande urbanização e o desmatamento acentuado têm ocasionado o aumento de encontros entre a herpetofauna e a população da capital e das outras cidades do estado. Esse fato faz com que algumas espécies, antes florestais, sejam atualmente consideradas sinántropicas. Répteis e anfíbios são amplificadores e reservatórios conhecidos de vários patógenos, mas o papel destes animais no ciclo de doenças e o potencial vetorial dos ácaros ectoparasitas desses vertebrados são ainda pouco conhecidos. Répteis e anfíbios são parasitados por ácaros da ordem Trombidiformes, pertencentes a 5 famílias (Cloacaridae, Pterygosomatidae, Harpirhynchidae, Trombiculidae e Leeuwenhoekiidae). Com exeção de Cloacaridae, as outras ocorrem na América do Sul. Dessa forma, a situação fragmentária dos registros de Trombidiformes no estado de São Paulo, sua complexidade taxonômica e a escassês de informações sobre sua participação na epidemiologia de doenças, foram os principais motivos que levaram à proposição do presente estudo. Os ácaros Trombidiformes de répteis e anfíbios, que estão depositados na coleção acarológica de Instituto Butantan (IBSP) foram revisados e alguns identificados. Igualmente, aqueles ácaros obtidos na recepção de animais do Instituto Butantan e de coletas em campo foram também identificados. Parte do material foi preparada para estudos moleculares e inferência filogenética, usando genes ribossomais e mitrocondriais, e parte foi investigada para a presença de Rickettsia spp., Coxiella spp. e Hepatozoon spp. As seguintes espécies de ácaros foram identificadas, Geckobia hemidactyli, Ophioptes parkeri, O. brevipilis, O. longipilis, Eutrombicula alfreddugesi, Fonsecia ewingi, Hannemania hepatica, H. minor e H. yungicola. Foi descrita uma espécie nova de Ophioptes, sendo a primeira deste gênero parasitando viperídeos. Todos os registros de hospedeiro são novos, assim como, algumas localidades são novos registros de ocorrência para as espécies G. hemidactyli, H. minor e H. yungicola. Foi proposta uma filogenia utilizando-se o gene 18S V4 rRNA da ordem Trombidiformes. As sequências obtidas foram analisadas juntamente com aquelas depositadas no GenBank. Não foi detectada a presença de patógenos nos ácaros e nem nos hospedeiros investigados. Palavras-chave: Taxonomia. Trombidiformes. Répteis. Anfíbios. Filogenia. Patógenos.

Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) – Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo. 2015 Brazil is a megadiverse country in herpetofauna, and appoximately 30% of the reptile species, and 27% of the amphibian species ocurr in the state of São Paulo. The high urbanization and the marked deforestation have increase the amount of human-herpetofauna encounters in the capital city and in the enviroment. This fact made some species to be considered currently as sinantropic. Reptiles and amphibians are known amplifiers and reservoirs of several pathogens, yet the role of these animals in the cycle of diseases and the vector potencial of the ectoparasitic mites of these vertebrates are poorly known. Reptiles and amphibians are parasitized by mites of the Trombidiformes order of 5 families (Cloacaridae, Pterygosomatidae, Harpirhynchidae, Trombiculidae e Leeuwenhoekiidae). These families ocurre in South America, except for Cloacaridae. Thereby, the fragmentary records of Trombidiformes in the state of São Paulo, their taxonomic complexity and the scarce information regarding their role in the epidemiology of diseases, were the main reasons

    THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SGIENGE BULLETIN Vol. XXXVII, Px. II] June 29, 1956 [No. 19 of The Chigger Mites Kansas (Acarina, Trombiculidae ) BY Richard B. Loomis Abstract: Studies of the chigger mites in Kansas revealed 47 forms, con- sisting of 46 species in the following genera: Leeuwcnhoekia ( 1 ), Acomatacarus (3), Whartoraa (1), Hannemania (3), Trombicula (21), Speleocola (1), Euschbngastia (10), Pseudoschongastia (2), Cheladonta (1), Neoschongastia (2), and Walchia (1). Data were gathered in the period from 1947 to 1954. More than 14,000 mounted larvae were critically examined. All but one of the 47 forms were obtained from a total of 6,534 vertebrates of 194 species. Larvae of eight species of chiggers also were recovered from black plastic sampler plates placed on the substrate. Free-living nymphs and adults of all species seem to be active in warm weather. The time of oviposition differs in the different kinds, but there is little variation within a species. The exact time of emergence, abundance and disappearance of the larvae depends on the temperature of the environment. The species can be arranged according to their larval activity in two seasonal groups: the summer group (26 species) and the winter group (20 species). The seasonal overlap between these groups is slight. Rainfall and moisture content of the substrate affect the abundance of the larvae, but not the time of their emergence or disappearance. The summer species often have two genera- tions of larvae annually, but in the winter species no more than one generation is known. The larvae, normally parasitic on vertebrates, exhibit little host specificity.

  • Acari Scientific Classification Kingdom
    Acari - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acari From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Acari (or Acarina) are a taxon of arachnids that contains mites and ticks. The diversity of the Acari is extraordinary and its fossil history Acari goes back to at least the early Devonian period.[1] As a result, Temporal range: acarologists (the people who study mites and ticks) have proposed a Early Devonian–Recent complex set of taxonomic ranks to classify mites. In most modern treatments, the Acari is considered a subclass of Arachnida and is PreЄ Є O S D C P T J K Pg N composed of two or three superorders or orders: Acariformes (or Actinotrichida), Parasitiformes (or Anactinotrichida), and Opilioacariformes; the latter is often considered a subgroup within the Parasitiformes. The monophyly of the Acari is open to debate, and the relationships of the acarines to other arachnids is not at all clear.[2] In older treatments, the subgroups of the Acarina were placed at order rank, but as their own subdivisions have become better-understood, it is more usual to treat them at superorder rank. Most acarines are minute to small (e.g., 0.08–1.00 millimetre or 0.003–0.039 inches), but the largest Acari (some ticks and red velvet mites) may reach lengths of 10–20 millimetres (0.4–0.8 in). Over 50,000 species have been described (as of 1999) and it is estimated that a million or more species may exist. The study of mites and ticks is called acarology (from Greek ἀκαρί/ἄκαρι, akari, a type of mite; and -λογία, -logia),[3] and the leading scientific journals for acarology include Acarologia, Experimental and Applied Acarology and the Peacock mite (Tuckerella sp.), International Journal of Acarology.

  • Cryptic Speciation in the Acari: a Function of Species Lifestyles Or Our Ability to Separate Species?
    Exp Appl Acarol DOI 10.1007/s10493-015-9954-8 REVIEW PAPER Cryptic speciation in the Acari: a function of species lifestyles or our ability to separate species? 1 2 Anna Skoracka • Sara Magalha˜es • 3 4 Brian G. Rector • Lechosław Kuczyn´ski Received: 10 March 2015 / Accepted: 19 July 2015 Ó The Author(s) 2015. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract There are approximately 55,000 described Acari species, accounting for almost half of all known Arachnida species, but total estimated Acari diversity is reckoned to be far greater. One important source of currently hidden Acari diversity is cryptic speciation, which poses challenges to taxonomists documenting biodiversity assessment as well as to researchers in medicine and agriculture. In this review, we revisit the subject of biodi- versity in the Acari and investigate what is currently known about cryptic species within this group. Based on a thorough literature search, we show that the probability of occur- rence of cryptic species is mainly related to the number of attempts made to detect them. The use of, both, DNA tools and bioassays significantly increased the probability of cryptic species detection. We did not confirm the generally-accepted idea that species lifestyle (i.e. free-living vs. symbiotic) affects the number of cryptic species. To increase detection of cryptic lineages and to understand the processes leading to cryptic speciation in Acari, integrative approaches including multivariate morphometrics, molecular tools, crossing, ecological assays, intensive sampling, and experimental evolution are recommended. We conclude that there is a demonstrable need for future investigations focusing on potentially hidden mite and tick species and addressing evolutionary mechanisms behind cryptic speciation within Acari.

They are ubiquitously distributed across different 14 microhabitats in all terrestrial ecosystems around the world and were among the first animals 15 colonizing terrestrial habitats as decomposers and scavengers. Despite their species richness and 16 ecological importance genomic resources are lacking for oribatids. Here, we present a 190-Mb 17 genome assembly of the clonal, all-female oribatid mite species Archegozetes longisetosus Aoki, 18 a model species used by numerous laboratories for the past 30 years. Comparative genomic and 19 transcriptional analyses revealed patterns of reduced body segmentation and loss of segmental 20 identity gene abd-A within Acariformes, and unexpected expression of key eye development 21 genes in these eyeless mites across developmental stages.

Last updated: 04.01.2017 INTRODUCTION Fossil spiders have not been fully cataloged since Bonnet’s Bibliographia Araneorum and are not included in the current World Spider Catalog. Since Bonnet’s time there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the fossil record of spiders – and other arachnids – and numerous new taxa have been described. For an overview see Dunlop & Penney (2012). Spiders remain the single largest fossil group, but our aim here is to offer a summary list of all fossil Chelicerata in their current systematic position; as a first step towards the eventual goal of combining fossil and Recent data within a single arachnological resource. To integrate our data as smoothly as possible with standards used for living spiders, our list for Araneae follows the names and sequence of families adopted in the previous Platnick Catalog.
