Dear Sir,

I had a query regarding an Eriophid mite which is infesting coconut in India
threatening its cultivation. It is thought to be prevalent in Mexico, South
Africa, Sri Lanka, Fiji etc.

Could you please send across the details of "Eriophyes guerreronis" or
Aceria guerreronis viz., the systematic position, distribution,  biology and
control strategy. Your kind help will be highly appreciated.

Subject:  Dust mite sampling

Hello everyone
I am a final year Zoology student studying the house dust mite for
my final year project.  At present I am trying to establish
successful samping methods - currently using a "dustbuster" ie
small handheld vacuum cleaner - and then attempting to separate
out the mites collected under a light micorscope.  These really are
the early stages and any advice or helpful comments would be
much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Hugh,

Sorry, that's a pretty interesting domestic mite problem, but I'm better at
advice on how to keep mites alive, rather than kill them.  I'll send this
along to the acarology list server and see if someone has some advice.

Dear acarologists,

My best wishes to all for Christmas, and for a happy and productive
acarological 2000.

Many of you will be wondering about progress towards publication of the
Proceedings of the 10th International Congress of Acarology. This process is
taking longer than we expected, but we are making progress. Manuscripts are
now in the final editorial stage, and we anticipate publication in mid to
late 2000. If you need to refer to your papers in annual reports etc, the
details of the reference will be :

Halliday, R. B., Walter, D. E., Proctor, H. C., Norton, R. A. and Colloff,
M. J. 2000. Proceedings of the 10th International Congress of Acarology.
(CSIRO Publishing, Melbourne).

The title may change, but the other details are correct at this time.

Thank you for your patience.

Bruce Halliday

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is almost the end of year 1999. Before year 2000 creeps on
us with a big bang (it will be in Honolulu), I would like to thank
all of you who graceously sent messages of support when I was down-sized
at the Bishop Museum. You certainly helped me pull through this difficult
year. I am doing well and quite busy; sometimes with paid work but mostly
doing mites at the Acarology Laboratory at the University of Hawaii. You
can reach me at the address below.

15 December 1999

               ADELAIDE SCIENTISTS HEAD $12 MILLION INTERNATIONAL PROJECT

Two Adelaide University scientists have been selected to lead a worldwide
effort to record and describe every known tick.

The Ticks of the World project - expected to cost more than $12 million over
the next 15 years - will be managed by Dr Ross
Andrews and Dr Trevor Petney from the University's Department of
Environmental Biology.

The project is a response to growing worldwide concern about the health
threat posed by parasites. Ticks account for the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of children every year, and the risk of
parasitic outbreaks is rising with increased
transportation of food and people between countries.

Dr Andrews said the project would result in the production by CSIRO
Publishing of a multi-volume series of books and
interactive CD-ROMs to help identify and characterise ticks around the
world.

"After mosquitos, ticks are the most significant transmitters of disease to
humans in both developed and developing
countries," he said. "They are the single most important transmitters of
disease to domestic animals.

"We know of about 860 species of tick, but new species are being discovered
and described each year. This project will
provide us with the most comprehensive body of information about ticks ever
assembled. It will also result in Adelaide
becoming the world centre for information on - and research into -
parasites."

Dr Andrews said he was pleased to announce that Olympus Australia had agreed
to sponsor the light microscope aspects of
the research. The sponsorship agreement will see the company establish a
state-of-the-art imaging facility at Adelaide
University to support the project.

The first volume and CD-ROM in the series will cover the ticks of Australia.
Subsequent volumes and CD ROMs will cover the
Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Dear All,

Please my apologise for sending a request from a "cruster": I'm working
on woodlice (terrestrial isopods) and I'm looking for identification of
ectoparasites which are frequent on some species (e.g. the common
pillbug Armadillidium vulgare): they are Acari and maybe Gamasids(?) but
my knowledge in mites end at this point. Is there any acari group
specialized in woodlice? Could you give me any references?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Dear all,

I'm an entomologist currently working on my  PhD. thesis at the Muséum National
d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris (MNHNP) on the genus Chiron (Coleoptera /
Scarabaeoidea / Chironidae).

Some species are parasited by differents acari (list below). For these
reasons, I'm looking for illustrations (habitus) of these following mites
(species or even genus) and all data about their biology (parasitism or
phoresy, usual hosts,...) and at last bibliographic references on the mites
associated with Coleoptera Scarabaeoidea:

 - Histiostoma feronarium (Dufour, 1839)
 - Sancassania chelone Oudemans, 1916
 - Archidispus papillosus Kurosa, 1978
 - Genus Pachylaelaps.

Among Heterostigmata, some Acarophenacidae come to mind.  These are insect
egg parasitoids, with females often phoretic on host insects.  Among
Astigmata, the Cytoditidae have extremely reduced palps.  These are
respiratory endoparasites in birds.

Subject: Proceedings IX Congress

On behalf of Roger Mitchell, Glen Needham, and the folks at the Ohio
Biological Survey I am pleased to let you know that the second volume of
proceedings from the IX International Congress of Acarology (the one in
Columbus) is ready for shipping.  Yes indeed, it made it with a 1999 date
of publication.  In case you wondered, the second volume is the one with
the symposia papers.

One request for those of you that attended that congress (and thus will
get
this volume): if you changed address in the last 1-2 years, please let us
know so we can avoid the added costs of returned packages.  First
authors
will also receive 25 reprints.

Happy New Year,

Hans Klompen
