Scabies is a contagious skin infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The most common symptoms are severe itchiness and a pimple-like rash. Occasionally, tiny burrows may appear on the skin. In a first-ever infection, the infected person will usually develop symptoms within two to six weeks. During a second infection, symptoms may begin within 24 hours. These symptoms can be present across most of the body or just certain areas such as the wrists, between fingers, or along the waistline. The head may be affected, but this is typically only in young children. The itch is often worse at night. Scratching may cause skin breakdown and an additional bacterial infection in the skin.
Mites are small arachnids.
The Acari are a taxon of arachnids that contains mites and ticks. The diversity of the Acari is extraordinary and their fossil history goes back to at least the early Devonian period. Acarologists have proposed a complex set of taxonomic ranks to classify mites. In most modern treatments, the Acari are considered a subclass of the Arachnida and are composed of two or three superorders or orders: Acariformes, Parasitiformes, and Opilioacariformes; the latter is often considered a subgroup within the Parasitiformes. The monophyly of the Acari is open to debate, and the relationships of the acarines to other arachnids is not at all clear. In older treatments, the subgroups of the Acarina were placed at order rank, but as their own subdivisions have become better understood, treating them at the superorder rank is more usual.
House dust mites are mites found in association with dust in dwellings. They are known for causing an allergy.
Mange is a type of skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Because mites also infect plants, birds, and reptiles, the term "mange" or colloquially "the mange", suggesting poor condition of the hairy coat due to the infection, is sometimes reserved only for pathological mite-infestation of nonhuman mammals. Thus, mange includes mite-associated skin disease in domestic animals, in livestock, and in wild animals. Since mites belong to the arachnid subclass Acari, another term for mite infestation is acariasis.
Bat-Mite is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Bat-Mite is an imp similar to the Superman villain Mister Mxyzptlk. Depicted as a small, childlike man in an ill-fitting Batman costume, Bat-Mite possesses what appear to be near-infinite magical powers, but he actually uses highly advanced technology from the Fifth dimension that cannot be understood by humans' limited three-dimensional views. Unlike Mxyzptlk, Bat-Mite idolizes his superhero target and thus he has visited Batman on various occasions, often setting up strange and ridiculous events so that he could see his hero in action. Bat-Mite is more of a nuisance than a supervillain, and often departs of his own accord upon realizing that he has angered his idol.
Varroa destructor is an external parasitic mite that attacks and feeds on the honey bees Apis cerana and Apis mellifera. The disease caused by the mites is called varroosis.
Acariasis is an infestation with mites.
Dan the Dyna-Mite is a fictional character, a teen-aged superhero published by DC Comics. He was the young sidekick to the character TNT, and was created by Mort Weisinger and Hal Sharp in 1942. TNT and Dyna-Mite made their debut in Star Spangled Comics #7 and starred through #23.
Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite of poultry. It has been implicated as a vector of several major pathogenic diseases. Despite its common names, it has a wide range of hosts including several species of wild birds and mammals, including humans. In both size and appearance, it resembles the northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum.
Itch mite may refer to:
Gymnopilus ventricosus is a species of mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae. It was described from the Stanford University campus by Franklin Sumner Earle as Pholiota ventricosa in 1902.
Pyemotes tritici is a species of mite known as the grain itch mite or straw itch mite. It is a cosmopolitan species that is found on straw, hay and stored grain. It is a parasite of small arthropods and is being investigated as a possible biological control of stored product pests. It is associated with dermatitis in humans, and it causes an itchy rash.
The Trombidiformes are a large, diverse order of mites.
Tachyrhynchus ventricosus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turritellidae.
Tachyrhynchus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turritellidae.
Sebastes inermis is a species of rockfish native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean, where it occurs off the coasts of Japan and the Korean Peninsula. The species is a popular quarry for anglers. Red seaperch is fished for food and game fishing. This species grows to a total length of 35 cm (14 in), and the heaviest recorded specimen weighed 800 g (1.8 lb). This fish is important to both commercial fisheries and the sport-fishing industry. It is also raised to supply market demand. The Japanese seaperches are twice as expensive as European seabass. Sometimes, the Japanese red seaperch is mixed up with Japanese black seaperch and Japanese seabass.
Sebastes ventricosus, the Japanese black seaperch, or Japanese Blueback Seaperch is a species of fish in the rockfish family found in the Northwest Pacific. The species is a popular quarry for anglers. Black seaperch is fished for food and game fishing.
Hypochthonius is a genus of mites in the family Hypochthoniidae. There are about 10 described species in Hypochthonius.
Pyemotidae is a family of mostly parasitic mites that feed on the larvae and other developmental stages of various insects but some species are herbivorous or fungivorous.
