A mite of the family Phthiridae. Found in countries around the world. Originally, they parasitize the larvae and pupae of insects of the orders Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera. Sometimes, lice mites that emerge secondarily from these pests that infest grains and straw can bite people and cause severe itchy dermatitis. In Europe and the United States, they are often seen in people who handle pasture grass, and are called hay itch or grain itch. In Japan, they are well known as pests of silkworms, causing damage to silkworm farmers, and those that infest tatami straw can cause skin rashes.

シラミダニ科のダニ。世界各国に分布する。本来は鱗翅目,鞘翅目,膜翅目などの昆虫類の幼虫やさなぎに寄生する。ときには穀類やわら類に大発生したこれらの害虫から二次的に発生したシラミダニが人を刺して,かゆみの強い皮膚炎を起こすことがある。欧米では牧草を取り扱う人たちに多く被害がみられ,hay itchあるいはgrain itchなどと呼ばれている。日本ではカイコの害虫としてよく知られており,養蚕家の被害があるほか,畳のわらに発生したものから皮疹を生ずることがある。
