Dose-dependent efficacy of a novel dsRNA-based solution containing vadescana for Varroa destructor control. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...

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

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.

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.

Phytochemical profiling and insecticidal activity of Moricandia sinaica across growth stages: experimental and molecular docking insights

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Stored food products are highly vulnerable to infestation by insects and mites, resulting in significant postharvest losses worldwide. Plant‐derived bioactive compounds represent promising eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

Oikos, EarlyView.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

Reproduction of parasitic mites Varroa destructor in original and new honeybee hosts

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
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.

Gamasoidosis illustrated: from the nest to dermoscopy Gamasoidose ilustrada: do ninho à dermatoscopia

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2012
Gamasoidosis (acariasis, avian-mite dermatitis or bird-mite dermatitis) is a challenging diagnosis that is becoming more common because of the frequent use of window air conditioners in tropical countries. These devices may serve as shelters for nests of

Expressed sequence tag survey of gene expression in the scab mite Psoroptes ovis--allergens, proteases and free-radical scavengers [PDF]

, 2003
Psoroptes ovis, the causative agent of sheep scab, is an important ectoparasitic mite infecting sheep, goats and cattle. Infection is characterized by an extensive dermatitis, scab formation and intense itching.
