Studies on the internal structure of gamasid mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti)
Zhuge Hongxiang; Meng Yangchun
The present study is reported to describe the internal anatomical structures of gamasid mite,
Ornithonyssus bacoti by the paraffin section, and shick freezing transparent section which was setup in our Iaboratory. The trachea of the
O. bacoti is divided into five parts: the main tracheal trunk, accessory main tracheal trunk, fine trachea, tiny trachea and capillary trachea supplying on the cells. The digestive tract of
O. bacoti is a relatively simple thing. It is comprised of a pharynx, a thin walled esophagus, a rather small midgut, three pairs of cecum attaching to the midgut, a small hindgut, the rectal sac and anus. The female system consists of one ovary, a short oviduct, an uterus, and genital pore, two accesorysglands and a spermatheca. The gonotrophic cycle of the mite has been demonstrated by thick freezing transparent sections prepared from femal gamasid mite (
O. bacoti.)
