Slow-Release Toxicity Resulting from Fumigation with Selected Essential Oils Against Fungivorous Mite, Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Acari: Acaridae) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and PathologyThe fungivorous mite, (Tyrophagus putrescentiae Schrank) is an important pest infesting several economic stored grain products. The efficacy of essential oils against the fungal-feeding mite were evaluated by the evaporation method, at the laboratory of ...

Insect Protein-Based Diet as Potential Risk of Allergy in Dogs
Animals, 2021 Before insects can be used widely as an alternative source of dietary protein, their allerginicity should be investigated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the potential adverse reactions of the immune system of dogs against Tenebrio molitor

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.

Verified and potential pathogens of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
, 2008 Several species of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae), including species of the genera Amblyseius, Galendromus, Metaseiulus, Neoseiulus, Phytoseiulus and Typhlodromus, are currently reared for biological control of various crop pests and/or as model ...

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
, 2010 To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...

Presence and diversity of Chlamydiae bacteria in Spinturnix myoti, an ectoparasite of bats
Parasite, 2020 Chlamydia spp. and Chlamydia-like organisms are able to infect vertebrates such as mammals, reptiles and birds, but also arthropods and protozoans. Since they have been detected in bats and bat feces, we expected Chlamydiae bacteria to also be present in

Influence of Test Temperature and Test Frequency on Fatigue Life of Aluminum Alloy EN AW‐2618A
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The influence of test temperature and test frequency on the fatigue life of EN AW‐2618A is investigated. High‐cycle fatigue tests are performed at different test temperatures and frequencies on the 1000 h/230°C overaged state. Both test parameters reduce fatigue life due to time‐dependent damage mechanisms.

Ecology and Evolution of Gall-Inducing Arthropods: The Pattern From the Terrestrial Fossil Record
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Insect and mite galls on land plants have a spotty but periodically rich and abundant fossil record of damage types (DTs), ichnotaxa, and informally described gall morphotypes.

Eriophyoid mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea) from the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean): new reports and a preliminary check-list [PDF]
, 2008 In the 20th Century, about 20 species of eriophyoids were listed for the Maltese Islands but these reports were entirely based on plant gall surveys.
