A Gamasid Mite Annoying to Man

The Journal of Parasitology, 1920
On two occasions during the summer of 1919 the writer has encountered a small gamasid mite that gets on the skin of the legs, and for that matter on any part of the body, and causes a considerable annoyance and a "creepy" sensation by running about over the skin.

Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Opportunities for integrated pest management to control the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

, 2011
Dermanyssus gallinae is the most economically important ectoparasite of laying hens in Europe. Control of D. gallinae is already hampered by issues of pesticide resistance and product withdrawal and, with the prohibition of conventional cages in 2012 and

A hygrothermal model for predicting house dust mite response to environmental conditions in dwellings [PDF]

, 1999
House-dust mite antigens are a major contributor to allergic sensitisation. Since temperature and humidity are crucial to house-dust mite physiology, there is considerable interest in reducing mite populations by controlling the indoor environment.

A steady-state model for predicting hygrothermal conditions in beds in relation to house dust mite requirements [PDF]

, 2005
This paper describes the development, testing and validation of a simple steady-state hygrothermal bed model (BED) which predicts conditions of temperature and relative humidity within the bed core (the occupied space between mattress and covering ...

Controlling house dust mites through ventilation: the development of a model of mite response to varying hygrothermal conditions [PDF]

, 2001
There is clear evidence that house dust mite populations in many climatic regions can potentially be controlledby modifying temperature and humidity within dwellings.

Control methods for Dermanyssus gallinae in systems for laying hens: results of an international seminar [PDF]

, 2009
This paper reports the results of a seminar on poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae. Eighteen researchers from eight European countries discussed life cycle issues of the mite, effects of mites on hens and egg production, and monitoring and ...

A hydrothermal vent mite (Halacaridae, Acari) with a new Corynophrya species (Suctoria, Ciliophora), description of the suctorian and its distribution on the halacarid mite [PDF]

, 2010
Copidognathus nautilei Bartsch, 1997, from a hydrothermal vent field of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at about 13 degrees N, 45 degrees W and 4090 m depth, was infested with the suctorian Corynophrya abyssalis n. sp., with up to 58 epizoans per mite.

Biological control of fruit-tree red spider mite [PDF]

, 1976
During the last decade, integrated pest control systems have been developed for several crops. One of the main fields of research in integrated control has been the control of orchard pests. Experience with modified spraying programmes in apple orchards,

Application of a transient hygrothermal population model for house dust mites in beds: assessment of control strategies in UK buildings [PDF]

, 2011
This article discusses the capabilities and the application of an innovative combined hygrothermal and population model to assess the impact of building design and occupant behaviour on house dust mite populations in a mattress. The combined model is the
