| morphological diagnosis of the eggs of stored-products mites. | eggs of 13 species of common, economically important stored-product pest mites (acarus siro, a. gracilis, tyrophagus putrescentiae, t. brevicrinatus, tyroborus lini, aleuroglyphus ovatus, caloglyphus redikorzevi, c. oudemansi, lepidoglyphus destructor, glycyphagus domesticus, aeroglyphus robustus, chortoglyphus arcuatus and carpoglyphus lactis) from four families (acaridae, glycyphagidae, chortoglyphidae, carpoglyphidae) were studied in order to build a diagnostic key. the morphological study de ... | 2009 | 19252823 |
| the importance of starch and sucrose digestion in nutritive biology of synanthropic acaridid mites: alpha-amylases and alpha-glucosidases are suitable targets for inhibitor-based strategies of mite control. | the adaptation of nine species of mites that infest stored products for starch utilization was tested by (1) enzymatic analysis using feces and whole mite extracts, (2) biotests, and (3) inhibition experiments. acarus siro, aleuroglyphus ovatus, and tyroborus lini were associated with the starch-type substrates and maltose, with higher enzymatic activities observed in whole mite extracts. lepidoglyphus destructor was associated with the same substrates but had higher activities in feces. dermato ... | 2009 | 19480003 |
| the effect of chitin metabolic effectors on the population increase of stored product mites. | the study tested the effect of the chitin metabolic effectors, teflubenzuron, diflubenzuron, and calcofluor, and a combination of a chitinase and soybean trypsin inhibitor (sti) on the population growth of eight species of stored product mites under laboratory conditions. the compounds were incorporated into the diets of the mites in concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 50 mg g(-1). the final populations of mites were observed after 21 days of growth in controlled conditions. diflubenzuron and ca ... | 2010 | 20229097 |
| comparative analyses of proteolytic activities in seven species of synanthropic acaridid mites. | microplate assays with 96 wells were optimized to screen proteolytic activities in mite homogenates. whole-mite extracts of acarus siro, aleuroglyphus ovatus, tyrophagus putrescentiae, tyroborus lini, carpoglyphus lactis, lepidoglyphus destructor, and dermatophagoides farinae exhibited non-specific proteolytic activity in buffers from ph 2 to 12, and three peaks of highest activity at ph 3, 5-6, and 10 were distinguished. the reducing agent tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride decreased g ... | 2010 | 20936642 |
| assessment of bacterial communities in thirteen species of laboratory-cultured domestic mites (acari: acaridida). | house dust mites (hdms) and stored-product mites (spms) of various species inhabit human homes and stored agricultural products. these mites are carriers and hosts of microorganisms that enable their survival. the bacteriome from 13 species of spms and hdms was analyzed and compared by 454 pyrosequencing of partial 16s rrna gene amplicons. altogether 128,052 sequences were obtained and assigned to 71 operational taxonomic units (otus) at the 97% identity level. the number of sequences in the otu ... | 2016 | 27122496 |
