Efficacy of the d-phenothrin/pyriproxyfen association against mites in naturally co-infested rabbits
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the d-phenothrin/pyriproxyfen association against Psoroptes ovis, Cheyletiella parasitivorax, and Leporacarus gibbus infestations in naturally co-infested rabbits.

Perspectives and therapeutic implications in treatment of scabies [PDF]
Limited effective treatments are emerging for treatment of scabies. There was an impression that ivermectin would be always (or almost always) effective, but as it should be expected, resistant strains are being found.

Reproduction of parasitic mites Varroa destructor in original and new honeybee hosts
The ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, shifted host from the eastern honeybee, Apis cerana, to the western honeybee, Apis mellifera. Whereas the original host survives infestations by this parasite, they are lethal to colonies of its new host.

Deep Learning Beehive Monitoring System for Early Detection of the Varroa Mite
One of the most critical causes of colony collapse disorder in beekeeping is caused by the Varroa mite. This paper presents an embedded camera module supported by a deep learning algorithm for the process of early detecting of Varroa infestations.
