A programme of study using hair follicle mites of man, dog, and other mammals is presented which has been successful in stimulating student interest in symbiosis. Brief background information on these mites, with illustrations, is provided as well as details of laboratory procedures for secondary school through college level classes. Suggestions for more advanced or independent studies using these mites are also made so that exceptional, career-oriented students and their teachers can explore adaptations to symbiosis in depth.
