INTRODUCTORY ACAROLOGY

JUNE 23 - 28: This intensive one-week workshop presents an overview of the identification, systematics, and biology of the major groups of Acari. A second emphasis is techniques (study, collecting, preservation) used in acarology. The course is designed as either a stand alone course or as an introduction for the novice to prepare for the other, more specialized workshop units (Klompen).

PARASITENGONE MITES

JUNE 23 - JULY 5: This intensive two-week workshop will review one of the largest radiations in the Acari.  The main emphasis is on identification and systematics, but this course will have a strong secondary emphasis on ecology and life-history.  The latter will include larval host- and post-larval habitat-specificity, biogeography, and behavior.
         Week One will focus on the terrestrial Parasitengona, superfamilies Calyptostomatoidea, Erythraeoidea, and Trombidioidea (Welbourn, Wohltmann).
         Week Two will concentrate on a single lineage, the Hydracarina or water mites. Identifications will include formal keys, as well as procedures for field identification of the most common forms.  (Mitchell, Proctor, B. Smith, I. Smith).  Straddling both weeks are discussions of
functional morphology in both groups (Mitchell, Witte).

MEDICAL - VETERINARY ACAROLOGY

JUNE 30 - JULY 11:   During these intensive two weeks experts will review Acari that are important parasites or associates of man, domesticated animals, and other vertebrates. Identification of important forms to the specific level will be stressed in lab.
        Week One deals with mites, excluding ticks.  This array includes parasitic dermanyssoid Mesostigmata, eleutherengone Prostigmata, chiggers, and Astigmata.  Specific attention is paid to collection, ecology and allergies associated with house dust and scabies mites.  Generalized collection methods for bird and mammal parasites will be demonstrated. (Arlian, Atyeo, Kethley, OConnor, Welbourn)
        Week two deals with the ticks. Discussions of tick systematics, morphology, physiology, and epidemiology will be presented. Dr. Burgdorfer will discuss the current status of Lyme disease and Ixodes ticks, and spotted fever group rickettsiae. There will be a collecting trip on July 6 before the formal course begins. (Burgdorfer, Demaree, Keirans, Needham, Robbins)

AGRICULTURAL ACAROLOGY

 JUNE 30 - JULY 11: This intensive two-week course reviews the mites, pests and predators, associated with crops, ornamental plants, and stored products with an emphasis on identification and classification.  These mites are of major importance in agriculture worldwide.  Problems associated with the frequent development of acaricide resistance and the options for use of mites in biocontrol will be discussed.
         Week One will treat the Phytoseiidae (Walter), Eriophyoidea (Amrine), and Tetranychoidea (Welbourn, Wrensch).
         Week Two focuses on Tarsonemida and Parasitengone (Welbourn), stored product mites (OConnor) & miscellaneous Prostigmata (Kethley).

SCHOLARSHIP
HOOGSTRAAL FUND AT OSU:
Family and friends of the late Harry Hoogstraal have established an endowed fund at OSU to honor his outstanding career, which included 5 yrs of teaching in the Workshop (1977-81). This $600 scholarship is to encourage participation by young scholars, who also have financial need. Applicants bring the following to OSU: 1) A letter by the student giving background, nterests and accomplishments (publications, presentations, grants) with a description of how attending the Acarology Summer Program will augment their career in Acarology. 2) The student's advisor should send a letter that relates the scholarly potential of the applicant in Acarology, and document the financial need. The student should turn in these materials upon arrival at the workshop. Announcement of the recipient will be made at the conclusion of the Workshop.

JOHNSTON FUND AT OSU:
        Limited financial assistance may be available to graduate students or international participants from the D.E. Johnston Memorial Fund. Assistance will be in the form of partial waiver of registration only. Travel or per diem funds are not available. A written statement of need and how the workshop will augment their career is required for consideration.

HISTORY AND COLLECTIONS
The Acarology Laboratory has been associated with The Ohio State University since 1961, and is part of the Department of Entomology in the College of Biological Sciences, and the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.  The laboratory was founded by the late George W.
Wharton as the Institute of Acarology at Duke University in 1951, and was continued at the University of Maryland from 1954 to 1961. The Laboratory has maintained the Acarologists of the World and hosted the Ixth International Congress of Acarology in July 1994. Many of the world's
 acarologists received their first serious exposure to the Acari while taking the intensive Acarology Summer Program.  More than 20 outstanding lecturers now take part in teaching the workshop.     The Laboratory recently hired Hans Klompen to secure the future of the collection and acarine systematics at The Ohio State University. His interests are in morphology and molecular based systematics of Acari, and in the use of systematics in studying the evolution of ontogenetic patterns and host associations. Current projects focus on the evolution of Ixodida, Holothyrida, and basal Mesostigmata.  Glen Needham's interests include the physiology and control of ticks, house dust mites and bee mites. Dana Wrensch works on the population genetics of the acari.  Rodger Mitchell is devoting his time to water mite ecology and identification. Don Yehling studies the biology and control of house dust mites.
        This is a world collection of Acari with outstanding representations of the soil fauna from North America, Europe and the Neotropics. Other special strengths are the collections of velvet mites,
chiggers and water mites, and the parasitic mites on mammals. You are very welcome to visit the new Museum of Biological Diversity and Acarine Physiology Laboratory on the OSU campus.

Hi Everyone -

Does anyone have any information regarding the above  Raphignathoids as predators of false spider mites in temperate  climates? Also, if anyone could give me a snail mail or e-mail  address of H.R. Bolland (who has published much of the recent  work on this family), I'd be very thankful. His last location was at the Laboratory of Experimental Entomology, University of  Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Thanks in advance. Please respond to me directly.

Hello Acarologists Abroad,

        I am a acarologist in training at UC Davis.  I am getting tired of  checking out the books "World Crop Pest: Spider Mites - Their Biology, Natural Enemies & Control"   Vol 1A & B [edited by W. Helle & M. W. Sabelis] from the library.  I have been told by our bookstore that it is out of press.  Does anyone know where one can still buy the 2 vol. set?

I would be very appreciative if anyone has information for me,

Thanks,

Subject:  Ixodes trianguliceps specimens

Hello Fellow Acarologists!

    Does anyone have any available Ixodes triangulceps specimens that they would like to contribute to the U.S. National Tick Collection?  I am asking for our lab and for the USNTC.  We could really use just a few good  specimens of this species for our work on the systematics of the genus Ixodes (just 3-5 of any developmental or feeding stage in alcohol or spirits would be wonderful).  In addition, the USNTC is also quite low as far as I. trianguliceps is concerned, so they (Jim Keirans) could also use a few of these, preferably some of each stage, for future studies of their morphology, DNA, and others.

     This species is pivotal to our study of the Ixodes, especially those of Europe.  Please respond if you can supply any of these; it would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards to everyone on the list, and to use an irresistable phrase....

Acarologists rule!

Many thanks in advance for your response,

Subject:  Recent publication:  Ticks of NW Europe

Dear colleagues:

Now that spring is here, perhaps many of you are going into the countryside to pick up some ticks (deliberately or otherwise!)

The handbook detailed below, published last summer, should allow most people to identify, with the minimum of difficulty, ticks found in Europe, north of 47N and west of 10E. Besides the book's use as a taxonomic tool, it presents a valuable amount of background information particularly on host relationships and the role of ticks as vectors of disease.

DETAILS: Ticks of North-West Europe (1996) by Paul Hillyard, Synopsis no.52 of the Linnean Society of London in association with the Field Studies Council, 179 pp., 38 figs, ISBN 1 85153 257 9, price 19.50 (British pounds).
ORDERING: UK and Eire orders should be sent to: FSC Publications, Preston Montford, Shrewsbury SY4 1HW (Tel 01743 850370; email 100703.347@compuserve.com) [add 2 pounds for post and packing].
Outside UK and Eire send to: Natural History Book Service, Totnes, Devon TQ9 5XN; or Universal Book Services, Warmonderweg 80, 2341 KZ Oestgeest, The Netherlands.

I know only of o more general publication on mites, but, with excellent colored pictures:

Bader, C.  1989
Milben - Acari
Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Veroeffentlichung Nr. 22, 48 pp

this is a "Eine wenig bekannte vielgestaltige farbenpraechtige  medizinisch oekonomisch biologisch wichtige Tiergruppe".

The pictures in it are phantastic !
