To verify the prevailing Brevipalpus species in citrus orchards affected by leprosis in Argentina, specimens of this genus were collected mainly from ‘Valencia’ and ‘Hamlin’ varieties of sweet orange plants from experimental and commercial plantations at Bella Vista, Corrientes Province, Concordia, Entre Rios Province and Saens Peña, Chaco Province. Examinations under light microscopy and scann...

This study was carried out between 2017-2019 to determine the mite species found in tea gardens of Rize province (Türkiye). During study, surveys 9 districts (Ardeşen, Çayeli, Derepazarı, Fındıklı, Güneysu, İyidere, Kalkandere, Centre and Pazar) were May September with random sampling method, corresponding plant's 1st, 2nd 3rd shoot period. Studies conducted 73 first period, 107 period 97 plant...

Mites of the Brevipalpus genus are economically important due to their role as vectors plant viruses. Among them, B. yothersi is well studied because it recognized main vector citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C), causal agent leprosis, which one most damaging viral diseases in crops. However, studies several aspects biology still scarce, including its embryology. We performed a descriptive embryon...

Two new species of the genus Aegyptobia Sayed and 1 new species of Phytoptipalpus Trägårdh are described from Iran: A. bromi sp. nov. from Bromus tectorum (Poaceae); A. nazarii sp. nov. from Poa bulbosa L. (Poaceae); and P. kurdistaniensis sp. nov. from wild rose bushes, Rosa woodsii (Rosaceae). This is the first record of Phytoptipalpus from Iran. We also redescribe Aegyptobia beglarovi Livsch...

The flat-mite Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is considered important in citrus (Citrus spp.) and coffee plants (Coffea spp.) in Brazil, and is known as the leprosis and coffee ring spot mite, as being a vector of the Citrus Leprosis Rhabdovirus - CitLV and Coffee Ring Spot Virus - CoRSV. The objective of this work is to find out about the reproductive success of B...

Conservation biological control of pests may be achieved using a variety integrated strategies based on crop diversification. We investigated whether the insertion intercropped plants species (IPS) Inga edulis, Senna macranthera, and Varronia curassavica modified abundance mites, their feeding behavior, dissimilarity predator herbivore mites over gradient distance from IPS coffee. To accomplish...
