Dermanyssoidea is a superfamily of mites, including most of the mites which parasitise vertebrates.
== Families == Dermanyssoidea contains 21 families: Dasyponyssidae Dermanyssidae Entonyssidae Haemogamasidae Halarachnidae Hirstionyssidae Hystrichonyssidae Ixodorhynchidae Laelapidae Larvamimidae Leptolaelapidae Macronyssidae Manitherionyssidae Omentolaelapidae Pneumophionyssidae Raillietiidae Rhinonyssidae Spelaeorhynchidae Spinturnicidae Trichoaspididae Uronyssidae Varroidae The familial composition is debated. For example, a 2010 analysis found Spelaeorhynchidae and Spinturnicidae to be more closely related to Eviphidoidea than to Dermanyssoidea.
