“…Two female mites belonging to Macrocheles 2017muscaedomesticae were recovered from the body. M. muscaedomesticae is a cosmopolitan species commonly found in domestic, urban, and semirural habitats (Kamaruzaman et al 2018;Durkin et al 2019). This species of mite specializes in rotting organic matter, such as dung and compost (Krantz and Walter 2009).…”

“…These mite-insect associations can be phoretic, where a mite is entirely passive while being attached to its host [3][4][5]. Not infrequently, however, the mite feeds on insects during transportation, and, as an ectoparasite, it can exert a negative impact on their fitness [6][7][8][9]. Moreover, when foraging in the habitat of the insect host, mesostigmatic predators can also prey on its immature stages [1,10].…”

“…Both field and laboratory observations have shown that drosophilids can also be carriers for mesostigmatic predatory mites [8,9,[13][14][15][16][17]. With reference to this, the relationships of Macrocheles subbadius (Berlese) and M. muscadomesticae (Scopoli) (Macrochelidae) as well as Blattisocius (Paragarmania) mali (Oudemans) (Blattisociidae) have been studied in detail.…”

“…While some species are phoretic, such as e.g., Poecilochirus carabi G. Canestrini and R. Canestrini on the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides Herbst [ 8 ] or Parasitellus fucorum (De Geer) on bumblebees Bombus sp. [ 9 ], others are ectoparasites that feed on insects during transport, such as Macrocheles muscaedomesticae (Scopoli) and M. subbadius (Berlese) [ 10 , 11 ]. Moreover, both phoronts and ectoparasites can also feed on eggs laid by the hosts and also in further developmental stages [ 8 ].…”
