| dispersion statistics and sample size estimates for house fly (diptera: muscidae) larvae and macrocheles muscaedomesticae (acari: macrochelidae) in poultry manure. | the precision of the density estimate for a given population depends upon the population's density and degree of clumping and upon sampling characteristics, such as the number and surface area of the quadrats. the parameters k of the negative binomial distribution and b of taylor's power law (s2 = a mean b) were determined for third instars of the muscaedomesticae (scopoli), which were sampled by random quadrats at two shallow-pit, caged-layer poultry houses. most calculated values of k were < 1 ... | 1994 | 7966177 |

| phoretic and parasitic mites infesting the new world screwworm fly, cochliomyia hominivorax, following sterile insect releases in libya. | during the screwworm eradication programme in libya in 1991, trapped specimens of cochliomyia hominivorax (coquerel) were found infested with phoretic mites, macrocheles muscaedomesticae (scopoli), or parasitic mites, trichotromidium muscarum (riley). the possible sources of infestation and potential effects of mites on screwworm flies are discussed. | 1992 | 1421506 |
| phoretic association between macrocheles muscaedomesticae (acari: macrochelidae) and flies inhabiting poultry manure in peninsular malaysia. | the phoretic association between macrocheles muscaedomesticae and flies that inhabited poultry manure in a poultry farm in sungai buloh, selangor, malaysia was studied. the effects of temperature, relative humidity and fly abundance on phoretic rates also were investigated. the most abundant fly species found was musca domestica; musca sorbens, chrysomyia megacephala and ophyra chalcogaster were present in relatively large numbers. representatives of ten families of mites were found on collected ... | 1990 | 2279455 |
| observations on the mite fauna associated with adult stomoxys calcitrans in the u.k. | adult females of the blood-sucking muscid stomoxys calcitrans sampled between june and september 1993 from a cattle farm (n = 839) and from a pig farm (n = 542) in north-west england were examined for mites. twelve species of mites from ten families and three orders were identified as follows. in the prostigmata, eryenetes sp., family ereynetidae and pediculaster mesembrinae, family pygmephoridae. in the astigmata, procalvolia zacheri family saproglyphidae, acarus farris, family acaridae, bonomo ... | 1997 | 9226646 |
| mite choice generates sex- and size-biased infection in drosophila hydei. | heterogeneities in parasite infection among conspecific hosts often manifest as sex- or size-biased infections, which are typically attributed to differential host susceptibility and exposure. since parasite fitness is often tied to host quality, host preference by parasites is likely to be under strong selection. we test the hypothesis that host preference is sufficient to generate variability in infection rate among conspecifics. specifically, we ask whether the mite macrocheles muscaedomestic ... | 2016 | 26997035 |
| experimental evolution of infectious behaviour in a facultative ectoparasite. | parasitic lifestyles have evolved many times in animals, but how such life-history strategies evolved from free-living ancestors remains a great puzzle. transitional symbiotic strategies, such as facultative parasitism, are hypothesized evolutionary stepping stones towards obligate parasitism. however, to consider this hypothesis, heritable genetic variation in infectious behaviour of transitional symbiotic strategies must exist. in this study, we experimentally evolved infectivity and estimated ... | 2017 | 29282821 |
| mitey costly: energetic costs of parasite avoidance and infection. | parasites reduce host fitness via perturbations to host energy allocation, growth, survival, and reproduction. here, we investigate the independent effects of parasite exposure and infection on host metabolic rate. our study focuses on drosophila hydei and a naturally occurring ectoparasitic mite, macrocheles muscaedomesticae. we use flow-through respirometry to measure the metabolic rate of flies during the period of exposure (preinfection) and during mite attachment. flies were exposed to mite ... | 2017 | 28414262 |
