Best Answer

Many pathogens can and are transmitted by mites and ticks. Some well known examples are Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Lyme disease, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of others. Mites are more famous for carrying pathogens that attack plants but there are some, such as scabies, that affect humans and animals. Some examples of the mite-borne plant pathogens are wheat mosaic, rye mosaic, Cherry mottle leaf, and Oat necrotic mottle.
