Summary
Mites (Acari) are a diverse group causing various human diseases, from simple bites to severe infections. This review covers their incidence, symptoms, diagnosis, and public health impact.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Public Health
- Parasitology
Background:
- The subclass Acari is a heterogeneous group of arachnids.
- Mites exhibit diverse appearances and lifestyles, impacting plants, animals, and humans.
- Acari-induced diseases range from localized bites to severe systemic infections.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize human diseases caused by Acari.
- To detail the incidence, clinical presentation, and diagnostics of Acari-related illnesses.
- To discuss treatment strategies and public health significance.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of Acari-induced human diseases.
- Analysis of clinical manifestations and diagnostic approaches.
- Evaluation of treatment outcomes and epidemiological data.
Main Results:
- Acari cause a spectrum of diseases through bites, feeding, parasitism, or pathogen transmission.
- Symptoms vary widely, from mild skin reactions to multi-organ failure.
- Effective diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing Acari-related health issues.
Conclusions:
- Acari represent a significant public health concern due to their diverse pathogenic potential.
- Comprehensive understanding of Acari-related diseases is essential for prevention and control.
- Further research is needed to address emerging Acari-borne diseases and their management.

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

01:29Autoimmune Disorders
904
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:

191
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular fungi that were initially classified as protists but were later reclassified based on phylogenetic, molecular, and structural evidence linking them to the Chytridiomycota. These unicellular, non-motile organisms are highly specialized parasites that infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans. They have evolved extensive genomic and metabolic reductions, making them highly dependent on their hosts for survival.Morphology and Genomic...

4.9K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
