Egg Production of the Citrus Red Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Lemon and Mandarin Orange

Environ.Enlomol.17(4): 715-721 (1988) ABSTRACT The suitability of lemon, Citrus limon (L.) Burm. cv. Lisbon, for egg production by the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor), was compared with that of mandarin orange, Citrus unshiu Markovitch cv.

Partial Purification and Properties of a Cysteine Protease from Citrus Red Mite Panonychus citri

Several studies have reported that the citrus red mites Panonychus citri were an important allergen of citrus-cultivating farmers in Jeju Island. The aim of the present study was to purify and assess properties of a cysteine protease from the mites acting as a potentially pathogenic factor to citrus-cultivating farmers. A cysteine protease was purified using column chromatography of Mono Q anio...
