Multi-locus sequence analysis indicates potential cryptic speciation in the chigger mite Neoschoengastia gallinarum (Hatori, 1920) parasitizing birds in Asia
2023-12-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Chigger mites (Acari, Trombiculidae) cause trombiculiasis in terrestrial vertebrates worldwide and some species are also disease vectors. Neoschoengastia gallinarum is widely distributed in Asia, preferentially parasitising birds, and heavy infestations have clinical impacts on domestic fowl. In common with other trombiculid mites, the genetic diversity and potential variation in host prefere...
