Mites (Suborder: Astigmata) are one of the most successful and diverse vertebrate groups. The species of veterinary importance are parasitic, although a few non-parasitic mites are also important, such as oribatid mites (intermediate hosts for [[Anoplocephala|''Anoplocephala'']] and [[Moniezia|''Moniezia'']]) and forage mites.

The taxonomy of mites is complex as there are over 8 families. In this section the families are split according to their location on the host into sub-surface (burrowing) and surface (non-burrowing) mites.
