Experimental and Applied Acarology

Aims & Scope

Experimental and Applied Acarology publishes peer-reviewed original papers describing advances in basic and applied research on mites and ticks.

Coverage encompasses all Acari, including those of environmental, agricultural, medical and veterinary importance, and all the ways in which they interact with other organisms (plants, arthropods and other animals).

The subject matter draws upon a wide variety of disciplines, including evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, toxicology, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and pest management sciences.
