A hygrothermal model for predicting house dust mite response to environmental conditions in dwellings [PDF]

, 1999
House-dust mite antigens are a major contributor to allergic sensitisation. Since temperature and humidity are crucial to house-dust mite physiology, there is considerable interest in reducing mite populations by controlling the indoor environment.

Scabies Referrals to a New Zealand Dermatology Service: Recognition, Treatment and Persistent Symptoms

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Scabies remains an important public health issue in New Zealand, particularly amongst socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. This study evaluated scabies‐related referrals to a regional dermatology service, including treatment patterns, symptom persistence, and equity outcomes.

Fig mosaic transmitted by mite: First tree virus demonstrated to be transmitted by a mite found in studies on relationship of fig mite to fig mosaic

California Agriculture, 1957
The fig mite—Aceria ficus (Cotte) — was shown to transmit fig mosaic virus in experiments set up to determine whether or not mosaic symptoms would persist on fig plants in the absence of fig mite infestations.

Seasonal dynamics and environmental influences of phytophagous mites infesting tomato and pepper crops [PDF]

Archives of Agriculture Sciences Journal
The population dynamics of phytophagous mites infesting tomato and pepper plants in Qena Governorate, Egypt, were investigated over two consecutive seasons (2021/2022 and 2022/2023).

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 ...

A steady-state model for predicting hygrothermal conditions in beds in relation to house dust mite requirements [PDF]

, 2005
This paper describes the development, testing and validation of a simple steady-state hygrothermal bed model (BED) which predicts conditions of temperature and relative humidity within the bed core (the occupied space between mattress and covering ...

Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl Salicylate Differentially Modulate Direct and Indirect Defenses in Coffee Plants Against the White Mealybug

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
MeJA application strengthened both direct and indirect coffee defenses against the white mealybug Planococcus citri, whereas the effects of MeSA were variable and context‐dependent across the defensive traits examined. The combined application of both elicitors produced an effect similar to MeSA on direct defenses, but resembled MeJA when indirect ...

Mite Control and Sensory Evaluations of Dry-Cured Hams with Food-Grade Coatings

Meat and Muscle Biology, 2017
The ham mite, (Schrank; Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae), is the predominant pest of dry-cured pork during aging. This research was conducted 1) to determine the minimal concentrations of propylene glycol necessary for food grade coatings to control mites; and

Assessing the Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for Biological Control of Megaselia halterata on Mushroom Farms

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where
