Synopsis

Aiming to provide thorough coverage of ticks and mites, this reference work brings together information not generally available except through a detailed search of the literature. Beginning with an introductory overview and general characterization of mites, it goes on to detail their morphology, anatomy and metabolic systems, and specific descriptions of orders and superfamilies. It also discusses areas in which mites affect human welfare, health and medicine, agriculture, stored products, biological control and ecological systems. Each chapter is followed by literature citations and references, including some not yet in print. The text is illustrated with approximately 300 figures, including line drawings, photographs and scanning electron micrographs.
