“…Meanwhile, a degree of Cardinium specialization was observed, for example, closely related Cardinium strains clustered among three closely related Brevipalpus species and Cardinium infecting family Tetranychidae appeared to be closely related. These results were not surprising and similar trends have been observed in other Cardinium-arthropod associations Zchori-Fein & Perlman 2004;Duron et al 2008;Kopecky et al 2013) and in other endosymbionts (Weinert et al 2009;Lachowska et al 2010;Gerth et al 2015). In addition, the single molecular marker will fail to assess the accurate phylogeny of Cardinium Duron et al 2008).…”

“…Subsequently, many mite species were reported to harbor this symbiont (Duron et al 2008;Ros et al 2012;Kopecky et al 2013;Famah Sourassou et al 2014;Weinert et al 2015;Chaisiri et al 2015). There are several studies reporting Cardinium-induced reproductive alterations in mites (Weeks & Stouthamer 2004;Groot & Breeuwer 2006;Gotoh et al 2007;Ros & Breeuwer 2009;Liu et al 2010;Xie et al 2010;Wu & Hoy 2012;Zhu et al 2012b;Zhao et al 2013a;Zhao et al 2013b;Famah Sourassou et al 2014), and Cardinium seem to be essential for oviposition in the Ghana population of Neoseiulus paepalivorus (Famah Sourassou et al 2014).…”

“…For example, had estimated that about 31.6% mite species should to be infected by Cardinium, which seems higher compared with infection rate in others (6.1% in Hemiptera, 10.4% in Hymenoptera). Nine out of 22 spider mite species and 13 astigmatid mite species were reported to harbor Cardinium (Nakamura et al 2009;Kopecky et al 2013). Zindel et al (2012) screening for bacterial symbionts in 21 mite species, including phytophagous, predatory or parasitic species, had discussed their possible importance in biological control.…”

Many species of mites are of agricultural and veterinary importance to human. The bacterial symbiont Cardinium is assumed to be widespread and involved in manipulating its mite host's reproduction. We investigated Cardinium infections in phylogenetically diverse mite species based on published data. Cardinium was reported in 45 mite species, representing 3 orders and 14 families. Some Cardinium strains can influence their mite hosts' reproduction via two strategies: cytoplasmic incompatibility and feminization. The phylogeny of the examined mites was well resolved based on the 18S rRNA gene, whereas Cardinium phylogeny was not completely concordant with its associated host phylogeny, raising the possibility that horizontal transmission of Cardinium has occurred among species. In addition, Cardinium phylogeny was associated with the ecology of the hosts. Cardinium cooperating with other endosymbionts influences the ecology and evolution of its host.

“…The gut of D. farinae Hughes 1961 is inhabited by a complex bacterial community (Hubert et al 2012) including symbionts ("cadidatus Cardinium hertegi") (Kopecky et al 2013). The endogenous enzymes such as NlpC/P60-like are suggested to regulate these bacteria.…”

“…farinae and D. pteronyssinus were reared in the laboratory cultures facility at Crop Research Institute, Prague, Czechia, as described in Erban and Hubert (2008). In addition, we tested the presence of the protein-coding sequence in stored product mites: Acarus siro L. 1758, Aleuroglyphus ovatus Troupeau Kopecky et al (2013) for rearing conditions and sampling. The mites were surface sterilized by bleach and ethanol solution 1:1 and further washed three times with ddH 2 O. Homogenization was performed using PotterÐElve-hjem glass homogenizer (Kartell Labware division, Noviglio, Italy); brießy, a 100-mg sample of the whole mite body was homogenized.…”

House dust mites produce antibacterial proteins suppressing bacterial growth. The 14.5-kDa bacteriolytic protein (UniProtKB Q8MWR6) has been known in Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Trouessart. We have applied polymerase chain reaction and reverse transcription-PCR to detect a homologous gene sequence coding for a Q8MWR6-related protein in Dermatophagoides farinae (Hughes) using genomic DNA and total RNA, respectively. The resulting PCR product of expected size, 243 bp, was obtained from both Dermatophagoides spp., while no amplification was achieved from stored product mite samples. Sequence of the gene fragment from D. farinae showed 83% similarity to the previously described one in D. pteronyssinus. Successful amplification of the expected product from cDNA generated with oligo-dT primer implies that the NlpC/P60-like protein in Dermatophagoides mites is of eukaryotic or mite origin.

Blood feeding red poultry mites (RPM) serve as vectors of pathogenic bacteria and viruses among vertebrate hosts including wild birds, poultry hens, mammals, and humans. The microbiome of RPM has not yet been studied by high-throughput sequencing. RPM eggs, larvae, and engorged adult/nymph samples obtained in four poultry houses in Czechia were used for microbiome analyses by Illumina amplicon sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene V4 region. A laboratory RPM population was used as positive control for transcriptome analysis by pyrosequencing with identification of sequences originating from bacteria. The samples of engorged adult/nymph stages had 100-fold more copies of 16S rRNA gene copies than the samples of eggs and larvae. The microbiome composition showed differences among the four poultry houses and among observed developmental stadia. In the adults' microbiome 10 OTUs comprised 90 to 99% of all sequences. Bartonella-like bacteria covered between 30 and 70% of sequences in RPM microbiome and 25% bacterial sequences in transcriptome. The phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed two distinct groups of Bartonella-like bacteria forming sister groups: (i) symbionts of ants; (ii) Bartonella genus. Cardinium, Wolbachia, and Rickettsiella sp. were found in the microbiomes of all tested stadia, while Spiroplasma eriocheiris and Wolbachia were identified in the laboratory RPM transcriptome. The microbiomes from eggs, larvae, and engorged adults/nymphs differed. Bartonella-like symbionts were found in all stadia and sampling sites. Bartonella-like bacteria was the most diversified group within the RPM microbiome. The presence of identified putative pathogenic bacteria is relevant with respect to human and animal health issues while the identification of symbiontic bacteria can lead to new control methods targeting them to destabilize the arthropod host.
