New arthropod hosts of ectoparasitic mites Acari: Prostigmata from Turkey

Abstract

Some arachnids and insects that parasitized by ectoparasitic mites were collected from were collected from East-Mediterrenean Region of Turkey from September 2007 to November 2008. This study presents some data about the ectoparasitic mites and their new arthropod host interactions in Turkey. The digital photographs and locality knowledges of parasitising arthropods were also given

Ektoparazit akarların Acari: Prostigmata Türkiye’den yeni arthropod konakçıları

Abstract

Ektoparazit akarlar tarafından parazitlenmiş olan bazı araknid ve böcekler 2007-2008 yılları arasında Doğu Akdeniz Bölgesi’nden toplanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de ektoparazit akarlar ve yeni arthropod konakçıları ile etkileşimleri hakkında bazı veriler sunmaktadır. Parazitlenmiş arthropodların dijital fotoğrafları ve lokalite bilgileri de ayrıca çalışmada verilmiştir
