“…Torrenticola are diverse water mites that prey on chironomid larvae as adults and parasitize chironomid adults as larvae (Smith 2010). Although it has not been investigated for Torrenticola specifically, water mites in general have been shown to control host populations (Smith 1988, Smith 2010.…”

“…Pertencem à corte Parasitengonina, caracterizada por um tipo de desenvolvimento essencialmente holometábolo e único dentro da subordem Acari: após emergirem dos ovos, larvas hexápodes procuram um hospedeiro apropriado e se tornam ectoparasitas (SMITH et al, 2010). A duração dessa fase, assim como o tipo de hospedeiro e os locais de inserção nele são diversos (LANCIANI, 1971;PRASAD & COOK, 1972;SMITH, 1984;SMITH & OLIVER, 1986), como por exemplo, no interior de esponjas ou bivalves.…”

Host–parasite interactions are impacted by climate, which may result in variation of parasitism across landscapes and time. Understanding how parasitism varies across these spatio‐temporal scales is crucial to predicting how organisms will respond to and cope under a rapidly changing climate. Empirical work on how parasitism varies across climates is limited. Here, we examine the variation of parasitism across seasons and identify the likely climatic factors that explain this variation using Agriocnemis femina damselflies and Arrenurus water mite ectoparasites as a host–parasite study system. We assessed parasitism in a natural population in Sylhet, Bangladesh which is located in subtropical climate between 2021 and 2023. We calculated prevalence (proportion of infected individuals) and intensity (the number of parasites on an infected individual) of parasitism across different seasons. Parasite prevalence and intensity were greater during cooler seasons (autumn and winter) compared to hotter seasons (spring and summer). Mean temperature and precipitation were negatively correlated with parasite prevalence, whereas only mean precipitation was negatively correlated with parasite intensity. Tropical, subtropical and mediterranean regions are predicted to experience extreme climatic events (extreme temperature, less precipitation and frequent drought) as a consequence of anthropogenic climate change, and our finding suggests that this might alter patterns of parasitism in aquatic insects.
