Deformed wing virus type A, a major honey bee pathogen, is vectored by the mite Varroa destructor in a non-propagative manner

Scientific Reports, 2019
Honey bees, the primary managed insect pollinator, suffer considerable losses due to Deformed wing virus (DWV), an RNA virus vectored by the mite Varroa destructor. Mite vectoring has resulted in the emergence of virulent DWV variants. The basis for such

Effects of bean seed treatment by the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana on plant growth, spider mite populations and behavior of predatory mites

Biological control (Print), 2019
The fungal genera Metarhizium and Beauveria are considered as both entomopathogens and endophytes; they are able to colonize a wide variety of plants and can cause increased plant growth and protect plants against pests.

MITE Tracker: an accurate approach to identify miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements in large genomes

BMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are short, non-autonomous class II transposable elements present in a high number of conserved copies in eukaryote genomes. An accurate identification of these elements can help to shed light on the

Haemolymph removal by Varroa mite destabilizes the dynamical interaction between immune effectors and virus in bees, as predicted by Volterra's model

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
The association between the deformed wing virus and the parasitic mite Varroa destructor has been identified as a major cause of worldwide honeybee colony losses. The mite acts as a vector of the viral pathogen and can trigger its replication in infected

Effect of food type on biology and life table parameters on Blattisocius keegani (Fox) (Acari: Blattisociidae) [PDF]

Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology
This study assessed the impact of four diet sources on the biological performance and life-table parameters of the predatory mite Blattisocius keegani. The evaluated diets included castor-bean pollen Ricinus communis L.

The Negative Effects of Feces-Associated Microorganisms on the Fitness of the Stored Product Mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Feces have been suggested as a major source of microorganisms for recolonization of the gut of stored product mites via coprophagy. The mites can host microorganisms that decrease their fitness, but their transmission is not known. To address the role of

Varroa destructor reproduction and cell re-capping in mite-resistant Apis mellifera populations

Apidologie, 2019
Globalization has facilitated the spread of emerging pests such as the Varroa destructor mite, resulting in the near global distribution of the pest. In South African and Brazilian honey bees, mite-resistant colonies appeared within a decade; in Europe ...
