The anatomy of the gaster of Trichosurolaelaps crassipes is illustrated. Protonymphs, deutonymphs and adults were all seen with a scarlet gut and gave strongly positive results to occult blood tests. Host blood cells were identified in a gut smear from a female mite. An adult female gut could hold about 7.1 x 10(-6) ml. The mite was seen frequenting small open skin lesions. Gram-negative bacteria identified in the mite's gut are most likely to be endosymbionts. Mite larvae have their gastric caeca invaded by these bacteria before birth. There is a potential for this mite to act as a weak vector of disease from one possum to another.
本文阐述了粗足毛绥螨胃的解剖结构。前若螨、后若螨及成螨均可见猩红色肠道，潜血试验呈强阳性。在一只雌性螨的肠道涂片上鉴定出了宿主血细胞。一只成年雌性螨的肠道可容纳约7.1×10⁻⁶毫升的物质。观察到该螨常出没于小型开放性皮肤损伤处。在螨肠道中鉴定出的革兰氏阴性菌很可能是内共生菌。螨幼虫在出生前其胃盲囊就已被这些细菌侵入。这种螨有可能成为疾病从一只负鼠传播到另一只负鼠的弱媒介。
