Abstract
Methods are described for the laboratory colonization of the chigger mite, Trombicula alcamushi. The larvae were fed upon chicks and white rats. The eggs of the collembolan, Sinella curviseta Brook, served as food for the post larval stages. A sack for the attachment of the larval mites to the wings of chicks is described and a capsule for the attachment of larvae to rats is described and illustrated. Apparatus for housing chicks while the larval mites are feeding is illustrated and briefly described. A description is also given of methods for the rearing of S. curviseta.
