Any of a group of small arachnids (relative of spiders and ticks), some of which cause local skin irritation and itching in humans.<\/p>\n
A free-living or parasitic arthropod belonging to a group (Acarina) that also includes the ticks. Most mites are small, averaging 1 mm or less in length. A mite has no antennae or wings and its body is not divided into a distinct head, thorax, and abdomen. Medically important mites include the many species causing dermatitis (e.g. Dermatophagoides) and the harvest mite , which transmits scrub typhus.<\/p>\n

Most mites are less than 1 mm long and medically significant ones include those that cause dermatitis, the harvest mite, which transmits scrub typhus, and the house dust mite, which can provoke asthma.<\/p>\n
