Gregarines in Dermatophagoides spp. (Acari: Pyroglyphidae): Light microscopy observation

Abstract

Recently there has been an increasing interest in studying arthropods that live close to humans, such as cockroaches and mites, for their potential as vectors. Gregarines observed under light microscopy in intestinal extracts of house dust mites (Dermatophagoides spp.) are described for the first time in scientific literature. © 2009 Entomological Society of America.
