Species Ornithonyssus bacoti (Hirst, 1913)
- Leiognathus bacoti Hirst, S. 1913. On three new species of Gamasid mites found on rats. Bulletin of Entomological Research 4: 119-124.
Introduction
This species is the subject of a very extensive literature, because it sometimes bites humans and causes skin irritation. Only a few selected references are listed here. Its biology and medical importance were reviewed by Mullen & OConnor (2009).
