Department of Acarology
Department of Acarology was founded in 1978 on a base of laboratory
of acarology being existing from 1968 under the leadership of Igor A. Akimov). During
this period the collective of scientists carried out the wide range of investigations
on fauna, ecology, morphology and physiology of mites on the territory of Ukraine
and other regions (Middle Asia, Far East and so on). Many years researches of collaborators
of Acarological Department resulted on widening of knowledge on many mite and tick
taxonomic groups that are theoretical and economic importance.
The numbers of projects have been directed on the decision of some
problems of fundamental and applied acarology. The Department of Acarology is the
coordinator center of acarological investigations in academic and non academic scientific
institutions. It makes an approbation of theses of postgraduate students and collaborators
from different institutes of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and another scientific
establishments in Ukraine and outsides too.
The Department of Acarology is generally recognized as one of the
world centers of acarological investigations.
