[Palpal sensory organ in the chicken mite Dermanyssus gallinae (Acari: Dermanyssidae)].
Palptarsus of the chicken mite bears 5 single-wall upper-pore (SW-UP) chemo-mechanoreceptor sensilla (type A); 4 double-wall upper-pore (DW-UP) chemosensitive sensilla (type B), and 6 no-pore (NP) mechanoreceptor sensilla (type M). The author assumes that sensilla of the type A participate in perception of the aggregation pheromone; of the type B, in perception of trophic stimuli; and of the type M, in determination of mechanical properties of the substrate.
