House dust mites activate nociceptor-mast cell clusters to drive type 2 skin inflammation
Nature Immunology, 2019 Allergic skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, are clinically characterized by severe itching and type 2 immunity-associated hypersensitivity to widely distributed allergens, including those derived from house dust mites (HDMs).

Use of predatory mites in commercial biocontrol: current status and future prospects
Acarologia, 2018 Predatory mites play the leading role in commercial augmentative biological control. They are mainly used in protected vegetable and ornamental cultivation systems to control phytophagous mites, thrips and whiteflies.

An Intimate Relationship Between Eriophyoid Mites and Their Host Plants – A Review
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Eriophyoid mites (Acari Eriophyoidea) are phytophagous arthropods forming intimate relationships with their host plants. These mites are associated with annual and perennial plants including ferns, and are highly specialized with a dominant monophagy ...
