AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on isolating lysozyme from the hemolymph of two tick species using ultrasound.
- The ultrasound-extracted lysozyme displayed a much stronger bactericidal effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus compared to lysozyme from chicken eggs and ticks without ultrasound treatment.
- Additionally, breaking down the hemolymph cells contributed to a higher yield of lysozyme production.
Article Abstract
Isolation of lysozyme from hemolymph of Alveonasus lahorensis (Acari: Parasitiformes, Argasidae) and Hyalomma marginatum (Acari: Parasitiformes, Ixodidae) with using ultrasound is described. It was shown that the bactericidal effect of the ultrasound-extracted lysozyme against Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus significantly exceeded that of the chicken egg lysozyme and lysozyme from ticks without ultrasound exposure. Disintegration of the hemolymph cells increased lysozyme production.

Invertebrate mitogenomes are generally fixed with formal 37 genes: 13 PCGs encoded subunits of OXPHOS, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) functional in the translation of these PCGs and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The order of these genes varies greatly among organisms and named rearrangement. Rearrangement patterns of mitochondrial genomes may shed light on mutation processes and evolutionary relationships of organisms.

Species of mites (Chelicerata: Arachnida) show a great variety of structures of the female gonads. In both evolutionary lines, Acariformes and Parasitiformes, the panoistic ovary, in which all germline cysts differentiate into oocytes, and the meroistic ovary, in which the oocytes grow supported by the nurse cells, have been documented. A less pronounced variation in the gonad structure could be expected at lower systematic levels, hence, we ask about the degree of differences within the family that is subordinate to Acariformes and represents the cohort Parasitengona.

Pinniped respiratory mites of the species have been recorded from various locations around the world but not from continental Argentina. In the present work, we document for the first time the presence of on on the Argentine mainland. A total of 23 adult and 381 immature mites were collected from the nose and nasopharyngeal cavity during a necropsy.

The abundance and diversity of eriophyid and phytoseiid mites in south and central Florida were assessed in six citrus orchards under three different pest management systems, conventional, organic, and untreated. Tree canopy, ground cover, and leaf litter were sampled every two months in two groves for each of the three pest management systems from April 2019 to February 2021. The citrus rust mite, Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead) represented 95 to 99% of the rust mites sampled in each grove except in one untreated orchard where it accounted for 45% of the samples (n = 938 total P.
