He is an authority on sarcoptiform and trombidiform mites parasitic on Australian and Malaysian vertebrates. By invitation in the 1960s Domrow spent time unit at the Institute of Medical Research in Kuala Lumpur working on potential acarine vectors particularly of the Australasian, Malaysian and oriental regions. In his many publications he described 13 new genera and over 300 new species of Australian mites, extending the known range of some species and recording others from Australia for the first time. Between 1988 and 1992 he published three extensive checklists with keys of mites parasitic on Australian vertebrates. The Queensland Museum holds approximately 14,000 specimens of mites collected by Domrow, one of Australia's most significant such collections. 1949 1952 Career position - Cadet (later Assistant), Queensland Institute of Medical Research 1952 1961 Career position - Research Officer, Queensland Institute of Medical Research 1954 1954 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Queensland 1958 1958 Education - Bachelor of Arts (BA), University of Queensland 1961 1965 Career position - Research Officer Division 1, Queensland Institute of Medical Research 1965 1988 Career position - Research Entomologist (later Senior Entomologist (Acarology)), Queensland Institute of Medical Research 1988 1988 Life event - Retired 1988 1990 Career position - Honorary Associate, Queensland Museum Queensland Institute of Medical Research, State of Queensland (1945 - 2013)
