Molecular phylogeny reveals Varroa mites are not a separate family but a subfamily of Laelapidae [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVarroa mites, notorious for parasitizing honeybees, are generally classified as Varroidae. Their extremely modified morphologies and behaviors have led to debates regarding their phylogenetic position and classification as an independent family.

The salivary gland transcriptome of Varroa destructor reveals suitable targets for RNAi-based mite control. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolRNAseq and differential expression analysis identified 15 salivary gland genes encoding secreted proteins with putative anti‐bacterial, anti‐fungal, cytolytic, digestive and immunosuppressive function. The three most highly transcribed genes were selected to study their functional importance by reverse genetics, using a non‐invasive approach of dsRNA ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 631-646, December 2023., 2023 Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...
