Two questions:

Anyone know the  email address of Elizabeth Bonnar, M.C. opthamology, Mater Misercordiae Hospital, Dublin Ireland?

Are the  5 to 10 micron, pale amber spheres (full of submicron crystals) associated with the eyelash follicles harboring Demodex their  fecal pellets?

Hi colleagues! I am very interested in contacting people working on mites in Spain... I know there is some people in Pais Vasco and also in Valencia, but I do not know about other places in the country.  If you are there, could you please write me privately? Tell me where you are and the group of mites you are studying... I would really appreciate the communication!

Gracias!

Exitos,
Liliana

        Would anyone know the e-mail address of Professor Y. Kuwahara, working at the Kyoto University (Pesticide Research Institute)?

        Thank you.

please try to screen out the unwanted and unsolicited advertisements that are continuously funneled through the acaralogy list.

if you cannot do this i will probably opt for removing myself from the list.

thanks

Dear all:

For those interested in the junk e-mail problem I recommend a visit to the following web page: http://www.mcs.com/~jcr/junkemail.html.  It contains very good information about what to do regarding unwanted e-mail.

There's very little we can do about our acarology list right now.  Perhaps we should consider having a moderated list, where one or more moderators could verify the relevance of the e-mails before sending them to others in the list.  Is it possible to set up such a system with the Majordomo software that we are using?

To Anyone who can help:

I'm an undergraduate biology major at Providence College in RI, USA. I'm interested in studying host-seeking behavior in the snake mite, Ophionyssus natricis.  My biggest problem is availability of specimens.  This is my first investigation into acarology and my literature resources are limited. Is it possible to purchase supplies of this mite from anywhere?
Any information that anyone can provide would be met with sincere appreciation.  I had difficulty logging onto the homepage but I did manage to get this email address.  I figured it's worth a shot.  Thank you.

I think we should all call them up and let them know how we feel (on their dime).  Anyone know if 1-800 numbers work outside the U.S.?

Dear All

Has anybody got a searchable list of the table of contents for Experimental & Applied Acarology for volumes before 20 (1996) ? The chapman & hall web page appears to only start at 1996 ?

Thanks
Clive

Hi, I saw your site on the Internet and wanted to ask some questions.  Are the yellow and black spiders with the zig-zag decoration called orb-weavers? Are they distasteful to birds, they seem like an easy meal if they are not. Is their coloration a warning about their taste or do they mimic another
distasteful species?  Do you believe the theory that the zig-zag pattern is a mimic of flower signals to pollinators because it reflects UV light? Thank you very much.  Jeff Kavanaugh, Lecturer in Biology, University of West Florida, 904-474-2754.
 

Dr. Zhang has asked me to send a test posting to the list.  Changes have been made to the list configuration to hopefully shut out the SPAM.

Cheers,

Dan

Subject: dust mite education

Hello!
My name is Charlotte Scott. I am a high school biology teacher in search of some information about dust mites for one of my students.  He is doing a quarter project on dust mites and nneds a few questions answerted like what is the order, clas genus species of the mites, do they get sick, how do they populate, what is their life cycle, what is their evolutionary"edge", and anything else you might maight add to make his report/poster more interesting.  Matt is a hard working student.  I hope you will be able to help us.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
I am a student working on rickettsial diseases (Rickettsia, but mainly Wolbachia) in ants. I came across some references about Orientia tsutsugamushi stating that the bacterium causes scrub typhus fever in humans and male killing in its Leptotrombidium mite vector. I know this Leptotrombidium mite belongs to the family of the Trombiculidae, and I know that some mites are diploid, while others are haplo-diploid (like the spider mites). I thought one of you might perhaps know what life-cycle these mites have?

Kind regards, Tom

Clemson Library doesn't carry this journal.  If anyone knows Dr. Rudd's email, I would like to ask him for a reprint.

Thanks,

Dear acarologists,

I'm looking for a time, temperature and supporting citation for the fastest developmental and / or generation time for a mite.  I seem to vaguely remember Macrocheles muscaedomesticae coming in at around 2 days at some reasonably hot temperature, but my search of the literature so far has found only population growth parameters - but that record must go to one of the physogastric pyemotids.

Thanks,
