Acarology (from 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 sub-discipline of the field of zoology. A zoologist specializing in acarology is called an acarologist.
Look, Wikipedia has provided some unhelpful things. Especially since anybody can come an edit it. But THIS? Jesus. This is really unhelpful. It doesn't tell what exactly acarologists do. What??? Not to mention that its super short. Welp, my teachers did always tell me Wikipedia is unreliable. Guess they were right.
