SIBAC (Simpósio Brasileiro de Acarologia) em tempos de conectividade

Abstract

Although not readily recognizable by humanity (mainly due to their small size), mites are found in many environments, directly or indirectly affecting humans. The study of mites in Brazil has become a topic of great relevance. Acarologists periodically meet at SIBAC (Brazilian Symposium of Acarology) events to exchange experiences and professional debates. So far, seven symposia have been held. The last one has just been held in a virtual format, involving the participation of 292 subscribers, coming from 24 federative units in Brazil and 17 other countries.
