Psoroptes communis(痒螨) Presenter:王燕 Members： 程家玲，蒋皓敏，刘静，宋子嫦 From Class 3 Introduction Species of the genus Psoroptes (痒螨属)(Acari:Psoroptedae) are astigmatid,obligatory ectoparasites that cause various forms of psoroptic mange in mammalian host including sheep,cattle,Goats,hoses and rabbits . One of the primary distinguishing features of the genus is the Presence of relatively long,jointes pretarsi. Introduction: The most well known and clinically important occurrence of this mite is on sheep ,and the causative agent was described and first given the name Sarcoptes ovis by Hering in 1838,but later assigned to the genus Psoroptes .Following the initial description from sheep ,as many as nine species of Psoroptes mite were proposed,each distinguished from the others mainly by the different mamalian hosts they infest.However,because of the morphological similarity between mites found on different host species ,a number of early authors believed that populations on different hosts belonged to a single species synonomised initially as Dematokoptes communis by Furstenberg in 1861 and subsequently as Psoroptes communis.Host-derived populations were referred th as P.communis with varietal names such as ovis of bovis appended,depending on the host species from which they were obtained.(Raillet,1893;StockmanBerry,1913;Shilston,1915) Morphology Morphology: Distinguish beween male and female The male tritonymph（三期若虫） is singigicantly larger than the protonymph （一期若虫）and has five pairs of metapodosomal setae（刚毛） rather than three.In addition ,male tritonymphs have two pairs of cuticular pits on the central metapodosoma（后足体） rather than the single pair of the protonymph .The female protonymph can be distinguished from the male nymphal stages and the female tritonymph.
