Microbial composition of enigmatic bird parasites: <i>Wolbachia</i> and <i>Spiroplasma</i> are the most important bacterial associates of quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae)

2018-07-27

Abstract excerpt

The microbiome is an integral component of many animal species, potentially affecting behaviour, physiology, and other biological properties. Despite this importance, bacterial communities remain vastly understudied in many groups of invertebrates, including mites. Quill mites (Acariformes: Syringophilidae) are a poorly known group of permanent bird ectoparasites that occupy quills of feathers and feed on bird sub...
