A Mathematical Analysis and Evaluation of Varroa mite Control Methods for a Mite-infested Honey bee Colony [PDF]
In this paper, we present a mathematical model for the interaction between honey bees and mites. The dynamics of a mite-infested honey bee colony and the evaluation of the commonly used mite-control strategies (traditional, mechanical and chemical) are studied.

An Uncommon and Severe Clinical Case of Sarcoptes scabiei Infestation in a Cat
The burrowing mite Sarcoptes scabiei causes sarcoptic mange in dogs and other mammals, including humans. Despite S. scabiei infests several animals, little is known about the epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment of sarcoptic mange in cats.

Some Tetranychoid Mites of Michigan [PDF]
Excerpt: Tetranychoid mites are plant feeders, and many of them are of considerable economic importance. Prior to the present study, only seven species of these mites were known from Michigan; Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor) (McGregor, 1931); Tertranychus ...

Thermal equilibrium of a macroscopic quantum system in a pure state [PDF]
We consider the notion of thermal equilibrium for an individual closed macroscopic quantum system in a pure state, i.e., described by a wave function. The macroscopic properties in thermal equilibrium of such a system, determined by its wave function, must be the same as those obtained from thermodynamics, e.g., spatial uniformity of temperature and ...

Screening for broad mite susceptibility in Rhododendron simsii hybrids [PDF]
Broad mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus, is a key pest of pot azalea (Rhododendron simsii Planch hybrids). No information on variation in susceptibility or potential tolerance within these plants is available to date.

A C2-tilde-lattice that is not residually finite [PDF]
We construct the first example of a lattice on an irreducible Euclidean building that is not residually finite. Conjecturally, the normal subgroup theorem extends to this lattice making it virtually simple.

Macroscopic and Microscopic Thermal Equilibrium [PDF]
We study the nature of and approach to thermal equilibrium in isolated quantum systems. An individual isolated macroscopic quantum system in a pure or mixed state is regarded as being in thermal equilibrium if all macroscopic observables assume rather sharply the values obtained from thermodynamics.

Isolation of Psoroptes scab mite microsatellite markers (Acari: Psoroptidae) [PDF]
Nine microsatellite markers have been isolated from the scab mite,Psoroptes ovis. These markers have been tested for polymorphism in individual Psoroptes mites originating from two hosts, the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, and sheep, Ovis ...

A Southwestern United States Pilot Investigation of Triatomine–Mite Prevalence
Background: Chagas disease is a leading cause of cardiac failure in Latin America. Due to poor safety profiles and efficacy of currently available therapeutics, prevention is a priority for the millions living at risk for acquiring this clinically ...
