Experiments conducted using var. canis mites, showed that female mites placed on a metal wire (1 mm in diameter, positioned perpendicular to and touching the host) at varying distances from the host walked along the wire toward the host [18]. More than 68% of female mites tested moved towards the host when placed 4.9 cm (1.93 in.) away from it while 100% moved in this direction when placed 4.2 cm (1.65 in.) away. About 20% of the test mites migrated to the host when placed 11.2 cm (4.41 in.) away. Thus, the ability to perceive and respond to a host diminishes with increasing distance from the source. In these experiments, the host stimulus that induced the response could have been body odor and heat emanating from the host and/or CO2 in exhaled breath.
