Anatomy and ultrastructural organization of the larval mouthparts in representatives of terrestrial (Trombiculidae parasitizing vertebrates and Microtrombidiidae parasitizing arthropods) as well as aquatic (Pionidae and Hydrodromidae parasitizing arthropods) families from the cohort Parasitengona were studied using whole-mount preparations, semi-thin sections and TEM and SEM methods. In these groups, the organization of the mouth apparatus differs significantly especially with regard to their particular functional specialization and adaptations reflecting evolutionary trends in these groups. In trombiculid larvae, the mouthparts reveal the simplest organization. The gnathosoma is totally free, the infracapitulum and the basal cheliceral segments are short and wide, and the latter are separated from each other. The flexible lateral lips form a temporary sucker, distinguishable when the larva feeds, and the pharynx is totally fused with the bottom of the infracapitulum. In microtrombidiid larvae, the gnathosoma is covered by the arched dorsal shield, the chelicerae are comparatively long and separated, and the lateral lips form a permanent sucker provided with an internal sclerite. Conversely, in water mite larvae, the chelicerae are fused together and either partially (Piona carnea) or totally (Hydrodroma despiciens) free from the overhanging idiosomal fold. The lateral lips are flexible and organized freely, and the pharynx is totally separated from the bottom of the infracapitulum. In general, water mite larvae show significant variations and specializations but at the same time seem to possess the most plesiomorphic characters in organization of the mouth apparatus. The ancestral parasitengone may have given rise to divergent groups of water mites as such, as well as to trombiculids with the secondary simplification of the mouth apparatus and to microtrombidiids with their particular additional adaptations and specialization in organization of the mouthparts.

Set Up

Water mites are a large group of macroinvertebrates that are very vulnerable to contamination and environmental changes. As a result, they are often used to monitor water quality. Khankra gad stream, a third-order perennial spring-fed stream of the Alaknanda River in Uttarakhand, India, was studied to determine the drift behavior of water mites and water quality. Drift nets were set up for 24 hours in both spots of the Khankra stream where there was little or no human influence over a two-year sampling period (June 2018-20). Every four hours, the nets were changed out with new ones. Water mites signify a particular drift month and diel drift pattern. The majority of the drift mite species were present in considerably higher numbers in the daytime. During the two-year study period, a total of 2503 mite samples were collected from the Khankra stream, from which 204 water mite species drifted. The least number of Hydrachnidia (694) were collected from Spot-1, and the highest (1809) were collected from Spot-2, with 106 water mites drifting from Spot-1 and 134 mites drifting from Spot-2 during the study period. From Spot-2 maximum 25 mite species were collected and minimum 19 mite species were collected from Spot-1. For various mite species, the DBDI value ranged from 0.155 (July) to 0.204 (April) in Spot-1 and 0.134 (July) to 0.149 (February) in Spot-2. It was also observed that maximum water mite species were day-drifter. The physico-chemical parameters of the Khankra stream were also reported. The effect of ecological parameters on mite drift was investigated using Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA).

Gill Parasites

Fish parasitology has become an enormous field. The preface to this volume explains that the scope has been trimmed by focusing on those parasites most likely to be encountered by aquarists, anglers and naturalists – the external parasites; this approach excludes tapeworms, nematodes and most protozoans. The examples are mainly taken from the British fauna, but readers from other regions will find the subjects familiar.
