[Life cycle, feeding and reproduction of Haemogamasus ambulans mites (Gamasoidea, Haemogamasidae)].
The mite Haemogamasus ambulans is characterized by a mixed type of feeding such as haematophagy, zoophagy and schizophagy with a prevalence of haematophagy. Maximum fecundity of females took place when they were kept on complex diet (blood and living objects). When fed only with blood mites exhibited pronounced cannibalism that resulted in the reduction of their progeny. In addition to gamogenesis parthenogenesis was noted.
