Another type of scalp folliculitis, Demodex folliculitis, is caused by an excess of Demodex mites (face mites) on your skin.

Unlike spiders and scorpions, sea spiders didn’t go through ancient genome duplications, making them a rare window into how ...

Find out more about Demodex mites and the role they play in the development of eye and skin infections.

An international research team has discovered various mechanisms in asexual mites that generate genetic diversity and thus ensure survival.

The microscopic dust mite also turns out to be a peculiar example of evolution “in reverse”—or more precisely, despecialization. The microscopic dust mite also turns out to be a peculiar ...

They show that the key to evolution without sex in oribatid mites may lie in the independent evolution of their two chromosome copies – a phenomenon known as the ‘Meselson effect’.

Scalp folliculitis is a skin rash that can be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or mites. Mild cases often clear up on their own, but your symptoms may sometimes get worse without treatment.

Microscopic "nipple" mites that make whoopie on people's faces may soon "become one with humans," according to a skin-scrawling study published in the journal "Molecular Biology and Evolution." ...

Microscopic mites living within hair follicles have been with modern humans since our earliest days. Their evolution mirrors divergences in ancient human populations. According to new findings ...
