Demodecidae
''Demodecidae'' is a family of parasitic mites, living on various species of mammals. Each species of mite is usually only found on a single mammal species, whereas a mammal species can have several different species of demodecid mites living on it. Many species of mites are restricted to very limited areas of their body, e.g. the Meibomian glands Meibomian glands (also called tarsal glands, palpebral glands, and tarsoconjunctival glands) are sebaceous glands along the rims of the eyelid inside the tarsal plate. They produce meibum, an oily substance that prevents evaporation of the eye' ..., the ear canal, the tongue etc. The family was formerly named ''Demodicidae''.

Mite
Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods). Mites span two large orders of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari, but genetic analysis does not show clear evidence of a close relationship. Most mites are tiny, less than in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others again are predators or parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive ''Varroa'' parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of mites is called acarology. Evolution and taxonomy The mites are not a defined taxon, but is used for two distinct groups of arachnids ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Soricidex
''Soricidex'' is a genus of tiny mite Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods). Mites span two large orders of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari, but genetic analysis does not show clear evid ...s that live on the head and body of its host species, the common shrew ('' Sorex araneus''). Only one species has been formally described, ''Soricidex dimorphus'', but V. Bukva mentions two more undescribed species from his collection.Bukva, V. (1982). "''Soricidex dimorphus'' g.n., sp. n.

Demodex
''Demodex'' is a genus of tiny mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. Around 65 species of ''Demodex'' are known. Two species live on humans: '' Demodex folliculorum'' and '' Demodex brevis'', both frequently referred to as eyelash mites, alternatively face mites or skin mites. Different species of animals host different species of ''Demodex''. '' Demodex canis'' lives on the domestic dog. The presence of ''Demodex'' species on mammals is common and usually does not cause any symptoms, although occasionally some skin diseases can be caused by the mites. ''Demodex'' is derived from Greek δημός ''dēmos'' "fat" and δήξ ''dēx'', "woodworm". Notable species ''D. folliculorum'' and ''D. brevis'' ''D. folliculorum'' and ''D. brevis'' are typically found on humans. ''D. folliculorum'' was first described in 1842 by Simon; ''D. brevis'' was identified as separate in 1963 by Akbulatova. ''D. folliculorum'' is found in hair follicles, while ''D. brevis'' lives ...

Mammal
Mammals () are a group of vertebrate animals constituting the class (biology), class Mammalia (), characterized by the presence of mammary glands which in Female#Mammalian female, females produce milk for feeding (nursing) their young, a neocortex (a region of the brain), fur or hair, and three ossicles, middle ear bones. These characteristics distinguish them from reptiles (including birds) from which they Genetic divergence, diverged in the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. Around 6,400 extant taxon, extant species of mammals have been described divided into 29 Order (biology), orders. The largest Order (biology), orders, in terms of number of species, are the rodents, bats, and Eulipotyphla (hedgehogs, Mole (animal), moles, shrews, and others). The next three are the Primates (including humans, apes, monkeys, and others), the Artiodactyla (cetaceans and even-toed ungulates), and the Carnivora (cats, dogs, pinniped, seals, and others).
