Acaridae (lat.) Is a family of ticks from the suborder of the carapace (Oribatida) of the sarcoptiform order (Sarcoptiformes), with more than 110 genera and 400 species [1] . Most of them are very small, sometimes microscopic in size, and live either in water, in ice, on decaying substances, or parasites on other animals, by the way, and on humans. Propagate with the help of testicles, from which individuals, first unlike the animals that produced them, emerge. Of the genera of this family, the Acarus genus, with a soft, fluffy body living on rotting substances, is better known. Such, for example, Acarus scabiei , found on old cheese [2] .
