Mites are arthropods distinguished from ticks by usually being microscopical in size and have a hypostome unarmed with tooth-like anchoring processes. They are group in a number of suborders, each with super-families and families including many genera of medical and economic importance. In this paper, commensal rodents (Rattus norvegicus, R. r. alexandrinus and R. r. frugivorous) were surveyed in the Suez Canal Zone for their acari ectoparasites. Four species of mites were recovered. In a descending order of mite indices, they were Eulaelaps stabularis (4.83 on 6 rats), Laelaps nuttalli (3.11 on 27 rats), Ornithonyssus bacoti (1.66 on 9 rats) and Dermanyssus gallinae (0.66 on 24 rats). The overall mite indices in the three governorates were 3.66 in Suez, 2.82 in Ismailia and zero in Port Said. The medical and economic importance of the mites were discussed.
螨是节肢动物，与蜱的区别通常在于体型微小，且口下板没有带齿状锚定结构。它们被分为若干亚目，每个亚目都有超科和科，包括许多具有医学和经济重要性的属。在本文中，对苏伊士运河区的共生啮齿动物（褐家鼠、埃及褐家鼠和食果褐家鼠）进行了螨类体表寄生虫调查。共发现了四种螨。按螨指数从高到低的顺序，它们分别是厩真厉螨（6只大鼠上为4.83）、纳氏厉螨（27只大鼠上为3.11）、柏氏禽刺螨（9只大鼠上为1.66）和鸡皮刺螨（24只大鼠上为0.66）。三个省的总体螨指数分别为：苏伊士省3.66，伊斯梅利亚省2.82，塞得港为零。文中讨论了这些螨的医学和经济重要性。
