“…Although Psorergatidae seems to be common in the host populations ( Izdebska and Fryderyk 2012 ), they are understudied because of their small size and practically asymptomatic presence in the skin in most cases ( Izdebska and Fryderyk 2012 , Nelson et al 2017 ). As a whole, only two species are published for the fauna of the Balkan Peninsula and south-eastern Europe: Psorergates apodemi Fain, Lukoschus & Hallmann, 1966 and P. muricola Fain, 1961 ( Beron 2021 ). Our observation of Psorergatoides kerivoulae is the southernmost record for the species in Europe and the first mention of the genus Psorergatoides in the Balkans.…”

“…Our observation of Psorergatoides kerivoulae is the southernmost record for the species in Europe and the first mention of the genus Psorergatoides in the Balkans. Psorergatoides kerivoulae has an exceptionally wide geographic range and so far, it has been reported from Belgium, DR Congo, Ivory Coast, Malaysia (Borneo), Poland and Australia ( Nelson et al 2017 , Beron 2021 , Cierocka et al 2022 ). The parasite has been associated with the following bat species: Kerivoula cuprosa Thomas, 1912, K. lanosa (Smith, 1847), Myotis bocagei (Peters, 1870), M. macropus (Gould, 1854), M. muricola (Gray, 1846), M. myotis (Borkhausen, 1797), M. mystacinus (Kuhl, 1817), Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Chiroptera : Vespertilionidae ) ( Haitlinger 1979 , Giesen 1990 , Izdebska and Fryderyk 2012 , Izdebska and Krawczyk 2012 , Nelson et al 2017 , Beron 2021 , Cierocka et al 2022 ).…”

Healthy wing membranes are essential for bats. They are critical for maintaining the water balance and, during hibernation, they protect the bat’s body from dehydration. Assessing the state of the membrane visually is an easy and effective way to monitor a bat’s health and discover abnormal structures and infections in wild bat populations. During pre- and post-hibernation surveys of bats’ wings, we identified the presence of skin mites, Psorergatoides kerivoulae (Fain, 1959). The parasite causes cutaneous lesions on the wing membranes of the greater moused-eared bat, Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797) and the lesser moused-eared bat, Myotis blythii (Tomes, 1857). The lesser mouse-eared bat is a new host for this parasite. Our study is the first to describe the histopathology of the infection on the wings of the greater and lesser mouse-eared bats. To our knowledge, this is the southernmost record of this parasite and the first mention of the genus Psorergatoides for the Balkans.

Date-locality-host records for 37 mite species of 15 families are presented for Hungary and Austria. These results include the first record of eight species for Hungary, viz. Charletonia krendowskyi (Feider, 1954), Marantelophus rudaensis (Haitlinger, 1986), Cunaxa gazella (Berlese, 1916), Eupalopsellus oelandicus Sellnick, 1949, Tydeus lindquisti (Marshall, 1970), Neoseiulus dungeri (Karg, 1977), Neoseiulus tauricus (Livshitz et Kuznetzov, 1972) and Proctolaelaps drosophilae Karg, Baker et Jenkinson, 1995. Observations on habitat preferences, plant associations, co-occurrences and feeding behaviour are also provided.

Mites from the Demodecidae and Psorergatidae can optimally use mammalian hosts by inhabiting a number of different microhabitats in their skin. Hence, in individual hosts, several species of parasites from these groups have been described in different microhabitats. There are few data on their co-occurrence either at the host species level or at the host individual level. Most research has addressed the co-occurrence of Demodecidae in carnivorans, ungulates, soricomorphs, and rodents, while the co-occurrence of both families was found in bats. The present study examines the possibility of their co-occurrence in a Eurasian rodent—Apodemus flavicollis. It is a suitable model for such analyses, because representatives of both families have been demonstrated here so far, and our findings extend the list of specific Demodecidae in A. flavicollis with two new species: Demodex tenuis sp. nov. from the lip region and D. mediocris sp. nov. from the chin region. The study also includes the first record of Psorergates muricola in this host, which occurred in the genital–anal region. Therefore, the findings confirm the possibility that different Demodecidae and Psorergatidae species can co-occur in the same host in different body regions. This paper also includes a checklist of Demodecidae and Psorergatidae in rodents around the world.
