| life cycle and parasitic interaction of the lizard-parasitizing mite ophionyssus galloticolus (acari: gamasida: macronyssidae), with remarks about the evolutionary consequences of parasitism in mites. | wild-caught specimens of the lacertid lizard gallotia galloti eisentrauti from the canary island of tenerife were checked for ectoparasites. the parasitic gamasid mite ophionyssus galloticolus fain and bannert (2000) was very abundant on these lizards. additionally, parasitism by larvae of two species of trombiculidae (prostigmata: parasitengona) was observed. o. galloticolus was reared in the laboratory on its natural host in order to investigate its life cycle, reproductive biology, and develo ... | 2000 | 11201353 |
