Edit links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Study of mites and ticks

TheAcari are identified in acarology as ataxon ofarachnids that contains mites and ticks. They are an example of something an acarologist would study.

Acarology (fromAncient Greekἀκαρί/ἄκαρι,akari, a type of mite; and-λογία,-logia) is the study ofmites andticks,^[1] the animals in theorder Acarina. It is a subfield ofarachnology, a subdiscipline of the field ofzoology. A zoologist specializing in acarology is called anacarologist. Acarologists may also beparasitologists because many members of Acarina are parasitic. Many acarologists are studying around the world both professionally and as amateurs.^[2] The discipline is a developing science and research has been provided for it in more recent history.^[2]
