Acarology






Acari is identified in Acarology as a taxon of arachnids that contain mites and ticks. It is an example of something an Acarologist would study.


Acarology (from Greek ἀκαρί/ἄκαρι, akari, a type of mite; and -λογία, -logia) is the study of mites and ticks,[1] the animals in the order Acarina. It is a subfield of arachnology, a sub-discipline of the field of zoology. A zoologist specializing in acarology is called an acarologist. There are many acarologists studying around the world both professionally and amateur[2]. It is a developing science and long awaited research has been provided for it in more recent history[2].
