The Scientific Collection of parasitic mites at the Natural History Museum of the Federal University of Bahia (MHNBA) had its first record in October 2020, through the species Rhipicephalus sanguineus, removed while it was parasitizing the snake Bothrops leucurus. The collection was stopped for the following years and only restarted recently, in 2023. It is a small collection, where only 10 lots from
locations in the state of Bahia are currently listed, with data organized in an Excel spreadsheet.
