Dear All,
I want to know where the Haller's organ is localised on the first article of the first leg. thanks, and thanks for the information about the ticks ecology

regards

Eddy Loubry, entomologist.
 

dear All,
Sorry but the precedent e-mail has been sent with a bad document, this is the good document, and the Haller's organ is localised in A, in B, in C or in D? "be carefull, I'll give a F to the person who will send me a wrong answer!"
 

thanks and regards

Edddy Loubry, entomologist.

Announcing the 1998 Acarology Summer Program at Ohio State University

OFFERED WORKSHOPS:

INTRODUCTORY ACAROLOGY
AUGUST 3 - 8: 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).

ORIBATIDA
AUGUST 10-16: This intensive one-week workshop will review one of the largest radiations in the Acari.  The main emphasis is on identification and systematics of both adults and immatures, but this course will have a strong secondary emphasis on ecology and life-history. (Norton).

MEDICAL - VETERINARY ACAROLOGY
AUGUST 10-21:  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 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. (Burgdorfer, Demaree, Durden, Needham, Robbins).  Week Two 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, Klompen, OConnor, Welbourn)

AGRICULTURAL ACAROLOGY
AUGUST 10-21: 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.  Discussed groups will be the Phytoseiidae (Welbourn, McMurtry), Eriophyoidea (Amrine), Tetranychoidea (Welbourn, Wrensch, Yehling), Parasitengona, Tarsonemida and miscellaneous Prostigmata (Welbourn) and stored product mites (OConnor).

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 five years 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, interests 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.  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 staff at Ohio State University includes Hans Klompen, Rodger Mitchell, Glen Needham, Dana Wrensch and Don Yehling.  Hans Klompen is interested 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.
The Acarology Collection has outstanding representations of the soil fauna from North America, Europe, and the Neotropics.  Other special strengths are collections of chiggers and water mites, and of parasitic mites on mammals.  You are very welcome to visit the collection at the Museum of Biological Diversity and/or the Acarine Physiology Laboratory on the OSU campus.

Dear all,

I'm studying the oribatid mites and I want to start a new research experiment concerning cytogenetics, numerical and molecular taxonomy of some oribatid species. I would be very grateful for any information about laboratory methods and references.

My second question is about the following book: Legendre,L. & Legendre,P., Numerical ecology. Can anyone tell me more about this book: the publishing house, the year, if and where I can buy it?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi;

A high school student asked me if I knew how to collect and culture dust mites?
I am clueless, but I suggested he just  vacuum up some dust, and search through the dust with  a high powered dissecting scope. ;-)

Are there any papers that explain the collection and culturing of dust mites? I would appreciate any references, or tips on what to do.  I will forward any replies  to the student.

Thank you

Hello to everybody!

I am writing on behalf of a friend of mine who has a Company producing high quality allergenic mites (Dp, Df, As and others).

If you want to try the quality, they are willing to send a free sample for your own control.

Write to me if you are interested.

Acarology friends,

I received a few minutes ago an aerogramme letter from Mrs. Heather Southcott with this sad information:

 My husband, Dr. Ronald Southcott died  April 9, 1998, after a very long and difficult illness.

 You were one person he specially asked me to let know.

I am honored to be notified of his death.  Dr. Southcott and I knew each other through acarology loan correspondence.  I will let you know more about this outstanding medical doctor and acarologist after I've contacted his wife Heather.

He will be missed by the acarology community.

Aloha,

Hello mite-people!

I´m looking for publications about relationships between the structure of micro-habitat and the rate and pattern of oviposition in mites, specially the ones that oviposit in plants, leaves, soil, litter or similar habitats. If someone of you have published papers in those subjects, I would greatly appreciate receiving them! (my address is in my signature). If you can recommend me some other references, they´ll be welcome.

Thanks and good luck!

Acarologists,

As Executive Secretary for the International Congresses of Acarology, I invite requests to host the 11th Congress (and the first of the new millenium), that of 2002.

This is an exciting time -  with the 10th Congress being so close, and with the announcement of an Acarology Symposium in Brasil (recent listing by Dr. Mullen) - but please glance four years ahead and consider proposing a venue for the 11th International Congress.

If you wish to present a brief verbal and/or visual overview of your proposal to the 10th Congress membership, you will have an opportunity to do so during the Business Meeting (given prior notice).

For further information, including guidelines and recommendations, please contact me at one of the addresses listed below.  The Australian addresses are appropriate until the 10th Congress.

After that, please use the USA addresses.  I hope to see you all in Canberra, this coming July.

Sincerely,

Roy A. Norton
