Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

Controlling house dust mites through ventilation: the development of a model of mite response to varying hygrothermal conditions

, 2001
There is clear evidence that house dust mite populations in many climatic regions can potentially be controlledby modifying temperature and humidity within dwellings.

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Interrelations between citrus rust mite, Hirsutella thompsonii and greasy spot on citrus in Surinam

, 1975
Counts of citrus rust mite (Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashm.)) on leaves and fruit of citrus rose to a peak in the two dry seasons, the build up taking 4-5 weeks.

Preliminary assessment of mite infestations on warmseason turfgrasses in Australia

, 2016
Phytophagous mites were first identified as a problem in warm-season turfgrasses in Australia around 80 years ago. In production turfgrass fields, slower growth and weakening of sod strength by mites can cause serious commercial losses through breakage ...

Inducible tomato defences persist in detached leaves, despite differential plant variety and gene‐dependent expression

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.

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

, 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.

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.

A new pest recorded in Italy: The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List
