This two-week workshop will review the various Acari associated with humans and domestic animals. Unlike previous years, we will not have a full week on ticks and tick diseases. Week one will have a concentrated 2-3 days on tick systematics and identification and then the remaining 1.5 weeks will extensively examine all the other groups of vertebrate parasitic mites. This will include discussions of various Mesostigmata, including ectoparasites and nasal mites, Astigmata, including feather mites, Trombiculoidea (chiggers), and miscellaneous Prostigmata.
It is recommended that this workshop be attended both weeks.
