Aloha all!
I was wondering if anyone has information on Demodectic Mites:
 Especially -Allergic reactions to their infestation on humans
How to safely get rid of them - out of the hair follicles etc-

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated-
Thanks!

List members,

   I am looking for online versions of taxonomic keys in acarology.  I am a
web programmer and field ornithologist, and have recently completed a web
language for the display of key data, called KeyML.  I am looking for online
keys as samples of how well the language works.  If anyone has a key online,
please forward the address.  Be well and try not to let all that junk mail
get you down on the internet - there's alot of good applications too.

Sincerely,
Ian Rose

Dear Colleague:

It is sad to see that our e-mail list is mis-used by junk-mailers. It is obviously these junk-mailers attack not only us, but many others who are not on the list. The internet facilitates the exchange of information among acarologists. Like many other things, it can be mis-used for its opposite purposes.  I receive daily many junk mails, which I delete immediately. Sometime, I was too quick and deleted some non-junk mails, but chances are low, because if your colleages send you a meesage needing your attention, he will indicate it clearly on the subject line. If it is a really important message, he/she will always e-mail you again. Therefore, I would suggest that you take a second deleting all suspect junk messages wihtout OPENNING them. Junk mails are easy to identify by just looking at the subject line.  There is not much to lose.

In response to Mark's request, I removed the list of address of members of this list from the webpage.  If others also feel the list  archive pages are not of much use, I will remove them as well.  Please let me know.  Because many of you may write to me, please just indicate in the subject line somthing like "I want archives removed" or "I like them to be kept". If more people want them removed, I will do so.

Sincerely yours,

Zhi-Qiang Zhang

Dear All,

Ever wondered where people get addresses from to send out all this rubbish?
One way is to search the internet. Some webmasters make this particularly
easy. For example, try
http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/acarology/listmember.html

Personally, I would be grateful if my address could be deleted from that
page. Addresses should not be posted on webpages without permission.
Discussion list archives are bad enough.

Best wishes,

Mark

HI All!
These type of notes are showing up a lot. I've been forwarding them to
owners of the services that are spawning the notes. Yahoo has a mail abuse
group. Not sure what they do but it does put the onus on them to track these
delinquents down and terminate the accounts.
The address for Yahoo is: abuse@yahoo.com
Try to include all the header info so they track them down.

Dear Friends,

Please watch out for scam e-mail as follows. I received three of these in
three months, all from different persons with PhD's to make it look
legitimate.  BE CAREFUL! IGNORE!

I was going to keep quiet about this but I got an e-mail supposedly for
Zhi-Qiang Zhang but ended up in my box, which then tells me that these
con businessmen are on the prowl for a victim.

You don't even have to respond to me re this scam.

Hi Dave - Some of Banks' material is deposited at Harvard university, some
at the U.S. National Museum collection in Beltsville, and some appears to
be lost (I haven't been able to find type specimens for most of his
Astigmata).  You should contact Ron Ochoa at the USDA in Beltsville to see
if the specimens are in the USNM collection.  Bob Smiley had prepared a
working catalog of the primary types in that collection a few years ago,
so
it might not be difficult for Ron to check.
 I have a couple of very odd dermanyssoids from African ants - one
male of one species which is totally sclerotized and has extremely short
legs, and one female of another; it's very elongate with an extremely
reduced peritreme.  There are still wonders to be discovered out there!
 All the best! - Barry

Hello all,

My first attempt at mounting nymphal and larval ixodid ticks on slides has
met with marginal success.

I use Permount from Fisher scientific to mount nymphs to microscope slides
and then cover with a cover slip.  The mount looks fine even after 12 hours,
but when I come back in a day or two it looks as thought the Permount has
contracted somewhat leaving huge bubbles and spaces on the periphery of the
mount.

Has anyone experienced this?  Are there any possible solutions?

Thanks in advance-

Jim Occi

Hi all,

Among the many strange mites one finds in Australia are some
laelapids that live on ants.  I have what seems to be a new species
on a leaf-nesting Polyrachis ant that I'd like to describe, but I'm
finding it difficult to track down the two previously described
Australian species that have been attributed to this genus.  The MCZ
at Harvard apparently doesn't have this specimen:

Myrmozercon aequalis (Banks, 1916) (formerly Myrmonyssus)

Banks, N. 1916. Acarians from Australian and Tasmanian ants and
ant-nests. Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia 40 :
224-240 + Plates XXIII-XXX.

Would anyone have any idea where the types for this mite may have
been deposited?

Cheers,

Dave Walter

Dear Dr. Zhang,

    I would appreciate if you can release the following and attached news about IJA meeting.  Thanks

INVITATION
 

August 18, 2001

Dear Colleague(s),

I founded International Journal of Acarology over 25 years ago out of my love for acarology as there was no journal in this Continent especially for the development of acarology, recognizing the dedicated works of acarologists, and to publish the quality research papers in the fastest time and best quality possible.  Also, to publish research papers without any page charge of those who did  not have any publication grant which we have done for over the last 27 years and continue to do so at present. Even though I am a fulltime Family Physician for the last many years, I continue to work for acarology on a daily basis with your emotional support and help of IJA Board Members.  I, with my wife, have travelled many countries on "acarology missions" for the development of national and global acarology. In spite of very high cost, we have continued to publish colored photographs of mites and ticks on the cover and inside of IJA to draw the attention of readers to these interesting and complex tiny creatures. We have succeeded as much as possible in these objectives but not to the fullest I had wanted as a devout acarologist.
This letter is to inform you about the IJA's formal "25th Anniversary" celebration meeting on Saturday November 10, 2001 at 7 pm in Morgantown, West Virginia HONORING OUR RETIRED ACAROLOGISTS on a dinner arranged by Indira Publishing House. Jim Amrine is the local organizer of the meeting and I am working on the agenda and format of the meeting. There are no registration fee and there will be no paper presentation in this meeting. I will let you know the details as soon as known and if you intend to attend the meeting. We will  have photography and videography presentation and presentation of awards for the best photographs submitted to IJA.
I am sending this invitation inviting you to join the above meeting and honor us by your presence (with your spouse if possible) to give standing ovation to our retired acarologists who have done so much for the growth of acarology. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can attend this meeting so that the room and catering arrangements could be made on time.  Also, please send your non-returnable photographs, slides, video about  mites, ticks, acarologists with details (including name of photographer or videographer, address and e-mail) to my attention for presentation  and award in the meeting and possible publication by Indira Publishing House if you are unable to participate.  If you wish to send a non-returnable video of yours with your message to play in the meeting, you can do so too but please send it as soon as possibl.  Also, please send the names of our outstanding acarologists with their names, address (and e-mail if known) from any part of the world who should be recognized  for their contribution to acarology in this meeting.  Hoping to hear from you soon and receive your material for the competition.

Sincerely yours,

Vikram Prasad (e-mail: v.prasad@ix.netcom.com)

Der Welten Kleines auch ist wunderbar und gross, Und aus dem Kleinen bauen sich die Welten

Dear all,

I am a PhD researcher at Nottingham University, UK. I'm looking for a way to mark / tag and to kill my mites. I'm researching the effectiveness of wildlife corridors using a mite / moss microcosm. The mites come from moss.

MITE MARKING / TAGGING
Methods I'm aware of are;

- Radioactive tagging.
- Feeding mites with food colour. Useful for clear mites only.
- Covering mites with flourescent powder visible under UV light.
- Dotting the shield of mites with tiny drops of paint. Only for large hard-bodied mites.

Is anyone aware of any other methods?

KILLING MITES
I'm interested to see how my mites move in my moss patches. This is to see how the mites move down the moss corridors. As an alternative to actually marking individual mites, I'm trying to kill mites in certain moss patches, then observe the recolonisation of the moss patches by the mites. Ideally, any such method should not harm the moss. Ideas so far include;

- Place the moss in a Tullgren funnel to remove the mites.
- Pour an insecticide over the moss to kill the mites, then wash the moss, so as to remove the insecticide.

Any other methods ?

I'd be very happy to discuss any aspect of my work if anyone's interested.

Thanks for your attention,

Martin Hoyle.

Colleagues:

   Can anyone out there assist Mr. Ahadiyat?  I have suggested Jeppson et
al. 1975 for background and will be sending the few papers I have on
subjects that may interest him, but his needs go far beyond anything that
I can provide.

                          With thanks,

Dear Colleagues:

I am collecting information on the taxonomy, biology and control of greenhouse mites and plan to put up a webpage as part the Acarology home page. I am also updating a maunal on greenhosue mites that I prepared for a specialized training course that I ran for three years (1995, 1996 and 1997) when I was with the International Institute of Entomology in London.

If you have published papers on any aspects of mites in greenhouses (under glass or plastic covers), I would very much appreciate receiving a copy.  If you encounter pest mites on greenhouse plants or use predatory mites in biocontrol of pests in greenhouses, I also would love to hear from you about your experiences (I am especially interested in current mite pest problems on crops in greenhouses in different parts of the world).  If you have images on mites of greenhouses and would like to share with otherss, please also write to me.  Your help and contribution will be acknowledged.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours,

Zhi-Qiang
