Predicting the population dynamics of the house dust mite 'Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus' (Acari: pyroglyphidae) in response to a constant hygrothermal environment using a model of the mite life cycle [PDF]
, 2007 A generalised model of the life cycle of a house dust mite, which can be tailored to any particular species of domestic mite, is presented. The model takes into account the effects of hygrothermal conditions on each life cycle phase.
