title: Scanning electron microscopic studies of simian lung mites (Pneumonyssus santos-diasi, Zumpt and Till, 1954).
abstract: Scanning electron microscopy was used to study general morphological features of female Pneumonyssus santos-diasi, the most common lung mite found in the baboon (Papio cynocephalus), and its effect on host tissues. The technique provides an excellent three-dimensional correlation with light microscopic taxonomic identification and brings further insight to a detailed host parasite relationship.
