Stored grains and seeds have been known to be prone to contamination by mites for well over 100 years [1], but it was not until 1993 that the fi rst documented case of anaphylaxis to mite-contaminated fl our was reported [2]. To our knowledge, no studies on mite contamination of fl our samples have been reported from New Zealand, although storage mites have been previously observed in a fl our ...

House dust mites have been shown to be strongly associated with allergic respiratory diseases such as, bronchial asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis in the world. The climatic conditions of Bandar-Abbas, which is located in a coastal area and has a humid subtropical climate, provide a suitable place to proliferate mites. The aim of this study was to determine the contamination rate and analy...

ninteen samples of dust from wool and carpet-weaving places around tabriz were collected. dust mites of wool and carpet-weaving places were separated and identified based on morphological characteristics. genus and species of mites per gram of dusts, were determined. the results showed that dominant population of mites were:dermatophagoides farinae (64%), dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (21.5%),...

The Varroa mite, Varroa destructor, is an acarine ecto-parasite on Apis mellifera. It is the worst pest of Apis mellifera, yet its reproductive biology on the host is not well understood. In particular, the significance of the phoretic stage, when mites feed on adult bees for a few days, is not clear. In addition, it is not clear whether the preference of mites for nurses observed in the labora...

Mites can establish ecologically mutualistic and/or commensal relationships with stingless bees. In the present study, we evaluated acarine diversity associated colonies of three bee species (Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata, Scaptotrigona bipunctata and Tetragonisca fiebrigi) in seven localities southern Brazil. A total 1458 mites from 18 species/morphospecies were sampled. The Melipona ...

The distribution and dynamics of natural-mediated zoonosis (Lyme disease) in the Carpathian region have been studied measures for its prevention developed. It is established that vectors Lyme disease are Ixodes mites. transmitted transmissible through adhesion mites to human body. In mites, transovarian (through eggs) transphase larvae nymphs) transmission pathogens.
 data obtained indicat...

We demonstrated that Demodex canis was transferred to skin xenografts of a dog and a hamster onto severe combined immunodeficiency mice. After the transfer of mites, the number of eggs, larvae, nymphs and adult mites per gram of canine and hamster xenografts increased, whereas no live mites were detected on murine allograft. These results indicate that D. canis proliferates in hair follicles of...
