Most of the mites which cause this affliction to humans are from the order Acari, hence the name<unk> . The entire taxonomic classification to order would be: * Kingdom: Animalia * Phylum: Arthropoda * Subphylum: Chelicerata * Class: Arachnida * Order: Acari (At the order level, there is still substantial argument among researchers as to how to categorize Acari. Some call it a subclass, others a superorder, "Acarina".) Specific species involved include: * Acariformes * Trombidiformes * Trombicula species (Trombiculosis or chiggers) * Demodex species (Demodicosis) * Pyemotes tritici * Cheyletiella * Sarcoptiformes * Sarcoptes scabiei (Scabies) * Parasitiformes * Dermanyssus gallinae, Ornithonyssus bursa, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Gamasoidosis) * Liponyssoides sanguineus, Laelaps echidnina, Ornithonyssus bacoti (Rodent mite dermatitis) * Another candidate is Androlaelaps casalis. However, based on this mite's life style as a predator on other mite species (such as the previously-mentioned Dermanyssus gallinae), it is highly unlikely to be a cause of<unk> . Some of these reflect reports existing of human infestation by mites previously believed not to prey on humans.
