Abstract

This is a literature and vistas on Egyptian acarology, from Linnaeus to September 2025. The bibliography includes references to 2868 published books and papers on all aspects of acarology in Egypt, including taxonomy, ecology, agriculture and pest management, and medical and veterinary sciences. References were collected from a search of online databases, from printed books and papers, from information provided by personal communications with acarologists in Egypt and all the world, and from a search of national and international conferences. Most of the publications were written by Egyptian authors, but we also include some publications by international authors that make an important contribution to studies of the Egyptian fauna. The resulting bibliography will provide a resource to support all future studies of Egyptian mites. The bibliography will allow international colleagues to include information from Egypt in their large-scale acarological research programs in a way that has not been possible before.
