In Vitro and In Vivo Effect of Amitraz on Honey Bee Drone Sperm Quality

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bee hive infestation by the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has been a major cause of declining populations. Treating such infestations is important for sustainability. Knowledge about the sub‐lethal effects of commonly used acaricides on drone reproductive health, particularly sperm quality, is limited. The effect of in vitro and

How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

The sensitivity of Demodex canis (Acari: Demodicidae) to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia – an in vitro study

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020
The essential oil of the Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betche) (tea tree oil) has been effective in previous studies, in the treatment of infestation by Demodex mites in humans.

Evaluation of counterattack efficiency against predators in Schizotetranychus brevisetosus using small glass beads and phytoseiid eggs

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The web‐nesting spider mite Schizotetranychus brevisetosus Ehara attacks predators outside the nest, but the effectiveness of this behaviour is unknown. Spreading predator‐mimicking glass beads over the web induced intense patrolling behaviour in females, which even captured and attacked beads.

Honey bee populations surviving Varroa destructor parasitism in Latin America and their mechanisms of resistance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The honey bee (Apis mellifera) parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is considered one of the main causes of colony losses in European honey bee (EHB) populations around the world.

The salivary gland transcriptome of Varroa destructor reveals suitable targets for RNAi‐based mite control

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
RNAseq and differential expression analysis identified 15 salivary gland genes encoding secreted proteins with putative anti‐bacterial, anti‐fungal, cytolytic, digestive and immunosuppressive function. The three most highly transcribed genes were selected to study their functional importance by reverse genetics, using a non‐invasive approach of dsRNA ...

Comparative immune responses against Psoroptes ovis in two cattle breeds with different susceptibility to mange [PDF]

, 2015
The sheep scab mite, Psoroptes ovis, is a major problem in the beef cattle industry, especially in Belgian Blue (BB) cattle. This breed is naturally more predisposed to psoroptic mange but reasons for this high susceptibility remain unknown.

Evaluation of Trap Crops and the Presence of the Predator Nabis americoferus for the Management of the Tarnished Plant Bug in Strawberries

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 3, Page 372-383, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The polyphagous tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), inflicts substantial damage to strawberries and to several other valuable crops, impacting both yield quantity and quality. Effective control strategies are crucial to mitigate these losses. This study aimed to elucidate TPB host preferences
