“…The family Macronyssidae Oudemans, 1936 has 35 known genera worldwide (Radovsky 2010;Orlova et al 2017;Bassini-Silva et al 2021;Gomes-Almeida and Pepato 2021). The genus Acanthonyssus Yunker and Radovsky, 1966 has two valid species: Acanthonyssus dentipes (Strandtmann and Eads, 1947) and Acanthonyssus proechimys Yunker and Saunders, 1973.…”

Macronyssid mites are ectoparasites of terrestrial vertebrates. We slide-mounted and re-examined mite material collected in a 1987-1989 expedition to Maracá Ecological Station, Roraima State, Brazil. The specimens were identified as Acanthonyssus proechimys Yunker and Saunders (Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae), which were collected parasitizing a South American spiny rat, Proechimys sp. This represents the first record of Acanthonyssus in Brazil.

“…Blood-sucking mites play an important role in transmitting various pathogens to humans [ 3 – 5 ], including O. tsutsugamushi [ 6 ], hantaviruses [ 7 ] and even Yersinia pestis [ 8 ], and some of these pathogens are distributed globally. Moreover, mites can parasitize a great variety of vertebrates including livestock, birds, rodents, and other wild life [ 9 – 11 ]. As a competent vector for transmitting various pathogens across multiple host species, mites are becoming a serious concern in agriculture, veterinary medicine and public health [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Mapping the distributions of blood-sucking mites and mite-borne agents in China: a modeling study

et al. 2022

Background Emerging mite-borne pathogens and associated disease burdens in recent decades are raising serious public health concerns, yet their distributions and ecology remain under-investigated. We aim to describe the geographical distributions of blood-sucking mites and mite-borne agents and to assess their ecological niches in China. Methods We mapped 549 species of blood-sucking mites belonging to 100 genera at the county level and eight mite-associated agents detected from 36 species of blood-sucking mites in China during 1978–2020. Impacts of climatic and environmental factors on the ecology of 21 predominant vector mites and a leading pathogen, Orientia tsutsugamushi, were assessed using boosted regression tree (BRT) models, and model-predicted risks were mapped. We also estimated the model-predicted number, area and population size of affected counties for each of the 21 mite species in China. Results Laelaps echidninus is the leading mite species that potentially affects 744 million people, followed by La. jettmari (517 million) and Eulaelaps stabularis (452 million). Leptotrombidium scutellare is the mite species harboring the highest variety of mite-borne agents including four Rickettsia species and two viruses, followed by Eu. stabularis (2 agents), L. palpale (2) and La. echidninus (2). The top two agents that parasitize the largest number of mite species are O. tsutsugamushi (28 species) and hantavirus (8). Mammalian richness, annual mean temperature and precipitation of the driest quarter jointly determine the ecology of the mites, forming four clusters of major mite species with distinct geographic distributions. High-risk areas of O. tsutsugamushi are mainly distributed in southern and eastern coastal provinces where 71.5 million people live. Conclusions Ecological niches of major mite species and mite-borne pathogens are much more extensive than what have been observed, necessitating expansion of current filed surveillance.

Se reporta por primera vez para República Dominicana el ácaro Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese) (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae) y un caso de dermatitis provocado por este ácaro a humanos. El caso estuvo relacionado a una infestación de ácaros originada en nidos de Passer domesticus L. Se sospecha que casos como este podrían estar ocurriendo con más frecuencia y ser confundidos con alergias.
