	Mites are the most diverse of all arachnids, and among the oldest of all terrestrial animals. Fossils date mites from the early Devonian, nearly 400 million years ago [1.] Belonging to the class Archnida, the term "mite" refers to the several groups in the subclass Acari, but it is not a clade, and excludes the ticks. Mites and ticks are similarly characterized by their bodies being divided into two parts, named the gnathosoma and idiosoma. The three major lineages of mites are recognized as Opilioacariformes, Acariformes and Parasitiformes [1]. 45,000 species of mites have been described, which is believed to be only small 5% of the number of species estimated to be alive today. Mites can be found throughout the planet in every kind of habitat from the sea to freshwater, and in all terrestrial habitats, including soil, tree canopy, rotting woods, tree hollows, nests of vertebrates, dung and anthills [8]. In most studies, the scientists use the Berlese-Tullgren funnel to extract microarthropods from soil samples ([[Soil Sampling Methods]]). The soil sample size is often about 5 cm in diameter and 5 cm depth. Most mites in native soils occur in the top [[Soil Horizons]] [8].

	Mite size varies from 0.1 mm to 10 mm in length. They are most closely related to spiders than insects. They have the same characteristics of jointed legs and a chitinous exoskeleton. Acari have an open circulating system, ventral nerve cord, alimentary canal and striated muscles and may also possess Malpighian tubules. Acari lack antennae and mandibles [4]. The acarine body is divided into gnathosoma and idiosoma. The gnathosoma is the part of the body of the Acari comprising the mouth and feeding parts, and the idiosoma bears the legs, the genital and anal openings, and an assortment of tactile and sensory structures.

	Acari have been variously ranked as a group made up of one to seven or more distinct orders. The orders comprise approximately half of the described arachnid diversity. Molecular information from ribosomal DNA is used to expose relationships between groups. The 18 S rRNA gene provides information on relationships among phyla and superphyla, while the ITS2, and the 18S ribosomal RNA and 28S ribosomal RNA genes, show relationships at deeper levels [2]. Recent research has suggested that Acari is polyphyletic [3]. ''A Manual of Acarology'' uses a system of six orders, grouped into three superorders to classify Acari [2]:		Acari have been variously ranked as a group made up of one to seven or more distinct orders.
