Biologist returned from Africa

Tony Goldberg, a professor of pathobiology in the US, recently returned from Africa, found that he had brought in his unique nose mite belonging to a previously unknown to science species. "When you realize that you have a nose mites requires a huge exposure, so as not to scratch his face - said Goldberg, a professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine. - But my discomfort were balanced scientific curiosity. "

Goldberg noticed an insect only three days after his return to the United States, and sent him with a pair of pliers, a flashlight and a mirror. Then he made a tick DNA and compared it to historical data stored in the collection of the National American University in Georgia (this university has the world's largest database containing information about the mite). However, he could not find a match with any of the previously known types. "Either this species of ticks known, but information about it has not been previously entered in the database, or a new unknown species of ticks" - Goldberg said in an interview with Science Daily.
