Isolation of the mite Myocoptes musculinus Koch from the Spinifex Hopping mouse (Notomys alexis)

This paper reports on the isolation and identification of the fur-clasping mite, Myocoptes musculinus, from the faeces of the Spinifex Hopping mouse (Notomys alexis). This investigation adds to the sparse records of ectoparasites collected from native Australian murids.
