The Acari are identified in acarology as a taxon of arachnids that contains mites and ticks. They are an example of something an acarologist would study.

Acarology (from Ancient Greek ἀκαρί/ἄκαρι, akari, a type of mite; and -λογία, -logia) is the study of mites and ticks,[1] the animals in the order Acarina. It is a subfield of arachnology, a subdiscipline of the field of zoology. A zoologist specializing in acarology is called an acarologist. Acarologists may also be parasitologists because many members of Acarina are parasitic. Many acarologists are studying around the world both professionally and as amateurs.[2] The discipline is a developing science and research has been provided for it in more recent history.[2]
