The mite is 0.4 mm (0.016 in) in size, [2] approximately the size of a grain of salt, and can be seen with the naked eye. [5] It lives in the external ear canal of its host, and causes intense irritation leading to otitis externa. [2] The lifecycle of O. cynotis takes approximately three weeks. [1]

The mites are not a defined taxon, but is used for two distinct groups of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes.The phylogeny of the Acari has been relatively little studied, but molecular information from ribosomal DNA is being extensively used to understand relationships between groups.

The Phytoseiidae are a family of mites which feed on thrips and other mite species. They are often used as a biological control agent for managing mite pests. [1] Because of their usefulness as biological control agents, interest in Phytoseiidae has steadily increased over the past century.
Psoroptidae is a family of parasitic mites, [2] which are 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long and live on the surface of the skin, rather than burrowing into it. [3] These mites affect various species, including cats, dogs, rabbits, cattle, sheep, and horses, causing skin inflammation, scabs, crusting, and hair loss.
