Using a kinetic description to analyze wave propagation in dusty plasmas, taking into account the fluctuation of the charge of the dust particles due to inellastic collisions with electrons and ions, we consider the case of propagation of waves exactly parallel to the external magnetic field and Maxwellian distributions for the electrons and ions in the equilibrium, and investigate the phenomena of mode coupling which may occur due to the presence of the dust.
