(n.) A genus including many species of small mites.
Example Sentences:

(10) Three species of mites, Tyrophagus longior, Glyciphagus destructor, and Acarus farris have been isolated from the dust of barns of farms in Orkney.
(11) Populations of different species have been found (Acarus sp., Tyrophagus sp., Glycyphagus sp., Tyreophagus sp., Dermatophagoides sp., and others).
(12) Collections of fleas from terrestrial Sciuridae from New Mexico and Montana yielded 2 species of acarid mites: Acarus monopsyllus from Ceratophyllus ciliatus and Paraceroglyphus cynomydis n. sp.
(13) We obtained a sensibilization rate of 7% for Acarus siro (d70), 17% for Lepidoglyphus destructor (d71), 3% for Tyrophagus putrescentiae (d72) and 13% for Glycyphagus domesticus (d73).
(14) The five groups were formed: group A (10 allergic subjects either to aeroallergens or to foods, with exclusion of food allergens from diet); group 1B (similar group, which executed the food allergen's exclusion with weekly reintroduction of one food allergen with protection of DSCG); group 1C (allergic children either to aeroallergens or to food, who non executed the withdrawal of food allergens from diet: Control group); 2A group (allergic children only to aeroallergens, which executed only the acarus' removal from ambient); 2B group (allergic only to foods, which executed the removal of food allergens from diet).
(15) Twenty bisected grains of wheat infested with five pairs of the three commonest British grain-storage mites, Acarus siro L., Glycyphagus destructor (Shrank) and Tyrophagus longior (Gervais), were examined every week for 20 weeks.
(16) Modifications of spermatogenesis and anatomy of male reproductive tracts caused by radiation (fast electrons) are described in Acarus siro and compared with data from other arthropod taxa.
(17) Studies carried out by other authors around the world confirm the universal character of this acarus and its prevailing presence in house-dust biocenosis.
(18) Immature individuals of Acarus siro L. ingest a total of 0.1408 J of food energy, 58.5% of which is consumed by the deutonymph, 27.1% by the protonymph and only 14.1% by the larva.
(19) The incidence of skin test and RAST positivity for Dermatophagoides farinae and storage mites (Glycyphagus privatus, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Acarus siro, and Gohieria fusca) have been evaluated in children with bronchial asthma and positive prick test to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.
(20) 77 patients from rural districts, 48 of whom allergic to their own house dust, and 29 controls, were tested with mite extracts from Dermatophagoides pteronyssimus, D. farinae, Chortoglyphus arcuatus, Acarus siro, Glycyphagus destructor and Tyrophagus putrescentiae, and a house dust extract.
Scarus
Definition:
(n.) A Mediterranean food fish (Sparisoma scarus) of excellent quality and highly valued by the Romans; -- called also parrot fish.
Example Sentences:
(1) Clinical and epidemiological observations suggested that a complex toxic molecule is involved in the parrotfish flesh (Scarus gibbus) poisoning from Gambier Islands.
(2) Thyroid tissue in the Hawaiian parrotfish, Scarus dubius, is organized into two discrete lobes, one anterior to the first pair of afferent branchial arteries and the other between the first and second pairs.
