Infestation of laboratory colonies of the soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata Murray 1877 (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae) by Tyrophagus fanetzhangorum Klimov and OConnor 2009 (Acari: Astigmatina: Acaroidea: Acaridae)

Abstract: We report a case of infestation of a long-term laboratory colony of soft ticks, Ornithodoros moubata, with mites that were molecularly identified as Tyrophagus fanetzhangorum using the COI gene and discuss the possible nature of the interaction between these two acarines.
