“…In the past ten years, several studies have quantified the host-ectoparasite relationship and contribute important information on this subject. The most relevant researches were obtained from Punta Lara (Lareschi 1996(Lareschi , 2000 and Berisso (Liljesthröm & Lareschi 2002) ince (Abba et al 2001). In the present study infestation parameters of mites, ticks and fleas associated with wild rodents from northeastern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, are analyzed.…”

“…En relación con el orden Mesostigmata, Laelapidae presentó la mayor abundancia (40,7%) y géneros determinados (Cuadro 2). Esta familia incluye especies que van desde vida libre hasta ectoparásitos (Abba et al 2001, Swift & Goftt 2001 (Krantz 1978), lo cual puede explicar el mayor porcentaje entre los mesostigmata. Adicionalmente, los géneros más numerosos de esta familia fueron Hypoaspis y Cosmolaelaps.…”

Neotropical Entomology 37(5): 591-596 (2008) Prostigmata and Mesostigmata Mites Associated to Litter from the University Park UCLA, Lara State, VenezuelaABSTRACT -Richness and abundance of Prostigmata and Mesostigmata mites inhabiting litter from a gallery forest in the university park at the Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado (UCLA), Lara State, Venezuela were studied. Mites were captured using a pitfall trap along an 1800 m-transect from November 2000 to December 2001. Higher richness and abundance were registered for Prostigmata with 18 genera in eight families. In Mesostigmata, 11 genera included in six families were found. Of the 2085 Prostigmatan mites collected, 69.6% belonged to the Eupodidae genera Eupodes and Linopodes. Of the 398 Mesostigmata collected, 40.7% belonged to the Laelapidae; four genera of this family were found, being Hypoaspis and Cosmolaelaps the most abundant, with 28.6 and 8.0% of the Mesostigmata collected, respectively. Further studies, including Cryptostigmata, are required to improve the knowledge about the acarofauna diversity of soil-litter strata of the study area.KEY WORDS: Eupodes, Linopodes, Hypoaspis, Cosmolaelaps, richness, abundance RESUMEN -Se estudió la riqueza y abundancia de los géneros de ácaros Prostigmata y Mesostigmata habitantes de la hojarasca en un bosque de galería del Parque Universitario de la Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado (UCLA), Estado Lara, Venezuela. Las capturas fueron realizadas utilizando trampas de caída ubicadas a lo largo de una transecta de 1800 m de longitud desde noviembre 2000 hasta diciembre 2001. La mayor riqueza y abundancia fueron registradas en el Orden Prostigmata con 18 géneros en ocho familias, mientras que en el Orden Mesostigmata se encontraron 11 géneros incluidos en seis familias. Del total de ácaros Prostigmata (2085), Eupodidae estuvo representada por los géneros Eupodes y Linopodes, que explicaron el 69,6% de la abundancia en la hojarasca. Para los Mesostigmata (398 individuos), Laelapidae fue la más abundante (40,7%) y de mayor riqueza con cuatro géneros encontrados, de los cuales Hypoaspis y Cosmolaelaps resultaron los más abundantes 28,6% y 8%, respectivamente. Se requiere más investigación para incluir a los Cryptostigmata y completar la información sobre la diversidad de la acarofauna del estrato suelo-hojarasca del Parque Universitario.

“…Usually, mites from this family are associated with New-World rodents (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae: Oryzomyini) and Old-World rodents (Muridae: Murinae) (Gettinger et al 2011). The Neotropical region holds a wide diversity of Laelapidae mites (Gettinger et al 2005), including those from the genus Gigantolaelaps (Abba et al 2001).…”

New records of Gigantolaelaps wolffsohni (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) in Chile, an ectoparasite of Oligoryzomys longicaudatus (Rodentia: Cricetidae): ecological aspects and relation to body size and sex of their host

The Gigantolaelaps mites (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) are easily recognized by their large size. In Chile, Gigantolaelaps wolffsohni is the only recognized species Gigantolaelaps and it has only been reported from four localities, always in association with Oligoryzomys longicaudatus. Our research study aimed to contribute to the severely limited information about the ecology and distribution of G. wolffsohni in Chile and determine whether factors such as season, ecological region and weight-and sex of the host influence the abundance of this mite. We captured and assessed 329 O. longicaudatus in different seasons and localities. We classified sampled localities as being part of the Mediterranean, Template Forest, or Magellanic Forest ecoregion due to reported genetic and morphological differences of O. longicaudatus between ecoregions. Information about the season, ecoregion, and weight and sex of the host were recorded during mite sampling. These variables were assessed to determine their influence on mite abundance and prevalence through negative binomial and logistic regression models. We found 19 new localities where G. wolffsohni is distributed in Chile. These mites displayed an aggregated distribution in all ecoregions. We found that biogeography, weight, and sex of the host are not related to the abundance and prevalence of G. wolffsohni. Nonetheless, we found a strong association between the season and the abundance and prevalence of mites. All mites found were females; additionally, we found larva stage inside some female mites. We discussed the relationship between different ecological aspects and the abundance and prevalence of ectoparasites. Also, we discussed the finding of the larvae of G. wolffsohni, which means that this specie is at least larviparous, and finally, we discuss the specificity of Laelapidae mites.
