Tetranychus bastosi Tuttle, Baker and Sales (Acari: Tetranychidae) has been observed in more than 36 host species it is considered a potential pest mite for several crops, however its occurrence still restricted to Brazil. The present study determined the biological, reproductive parameters preference of T. three plant species: Morus rubra L. (Moraceae); Ipomoea batatas (Convolvulaceae); Psidiu...

Two iolinid predatory mites were studied in the laboratory as potential biological control agents of tomato russet mite, Aculops lycopersici (Acari: Eriophyidae). The development, reproduction and predation capacity Pronematus ubiquitus Homeopronematus anconai Iolinidae) on A. investigated. Developmental time from egg to adult at 25 °C averaged 9.59, 9.31 9.52 days for P. lycopersici, Typha ang...

Dermanyssus gallinae, a parasitic mite that subsists on the avian blood of chickens, poses considerable threat to poultry industry. D. gallinae infestation can result in plethora detrimental effects for host birds, including decreased egg production and anemia. Pyrethroid pesticides have been primary means combating this issue demonstrated high levels efficacy. However, recent years, has exhibi...

The present work is a study on the post-embryonic development of oribatid mite Striatoppia milii from family Oppidae. specimens were reared under laboratory conditions at relative humidity 80±2% and temperature 27±2 °C. During time, both adult immature forms S. fed microfungus Trichoderma harzianum. total developmental duration life stages egg to was 21.4±1.5 days with five active instars: larv...

Roundup Ready soy contains the CP4-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (CP4 EPSPS) protein. Serum IgE from two distinct populations of soy-allergic patients were recruited to determine their IgE-binding specificity. One population consisted of 10 adult patients from Europe, whose primary diagnosis was soy food allergy with some also having mite allergy. In addition, 6 primarily mite-aller...

Abstract Background The blood feeding poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae , causes substantial economic damage to the egg laying industry worldwide, and is a serious welfare concern for hens house workers. In this study we have investigated temporal gene expression across 6 stages/sexes (egg, larvae, protonymph deutonymph, adult male female) of neglected parasite in order understand as...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are dangerous pests, causing serious losses to the world’s agricultural crops. As soil-dwelling predaceous mites known as potential biological control agents against many we investigated interactions between cunaxid mite, Cunaxa capreolus (Berlese), and two plant parasites (root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid White) citrus Nematode, Tylenchulus sem...

The present study deals with the side effect of four entomopathogenic fungi EPF, Metarhizium anisoplia (Metchnikoff), Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo), Paceliomyces fumosoroseus(Vassiljevsky) and Cladosporium cladosporiodes (Fresen), which used mainly against insect pests spider mites, on phytoseiid predatory mite, Cydnoseius negevi(Swirski Amitai) in laboratory.  Spore suspensions LC50 (1x106=106 ...

We studied the life cycle of the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) (Prostigmata: Tarsonemidae), on 2 cultivated jute species (Corchorus olitorius L. and Corchorus capsularis L.; Malvales: Malvaceae) and 5 wild species (Corchorus aestuans L., Corchorus pseudo-olitorius Islam & Zaid, Corchorus fascicularis Lamarck, Corchorus tridens L., and Corchorus trilocularis L.) under laboratory ...
