Prey preferences and feeding-related behaviour of a Central European species of Scydmaeninae, Scydmaenus rufus, were studied under laboratory conditions. Results of prey choice experiments involving 22 identified species of mites belonging to 13 families of Oribatida and two families of Mesostigmata (Uropodina) demonstrated that this beetle feeds mostly on oribatid Schelorib­ atidae (60.38% of prey) and Oppiidae (29.75%) and only occasionally on uropodine Urodinychidae (4.42%) and oribatid Mycobatidae (3.39%); species belonging to Trematuridae (Uropodina), Ceratozetidae and Tectocepheidae (Oribatida) were consumed occasionally. The number of mites consumed per beetle per day was 1.42, and when Oppia nitens was the prey, the entire feeding process took 2.93–5.58 h. Observations revealed that mechanisms for overcoming the prey’s defences depended on the body form of the mite. When attacking oribatids, with long and spiny legs, the beetles cut off one or two legs before killing the mite by inserting one mandible into its gnathosomal opening.

  • Risk of Exposure of a Selected Rural Population in South Poland to Allergenic Mites
    Experimental and Applied Acarology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10493-019-00355-7 Risk of exposure of a selected rural population in South Poland to allergenic mites. Part II: acarofauna of farm buildings Krzysztof Solarz1 · Celina Pająk2 Received: 5 September 2018 / Accepted: 27 February 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Exposure to mite allergens, especially from storage and dust mites, has been recognized as a risk factor for sensitization and allergy symptoms that could develop into asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of mites in debris and litter from selected farm buildings of the Małopolskie province, South Poland, with particular refer- ence to allergenic and/or parasitic species as a potential risk factor of diseases among farm- ers. Sixty samples of various materials (organic dust, litter, debris and residues) from farm buildings (cowsheds, barns, chaff-cutter buildings, pigsties and poultry houses) were sub- jected to acarological examination. The samples were collected in Lachowice and Kurów (Suski district, Małopolskie). A total of 16,719 mites were isolated including specimens from the cohort Astigmatina (27 species) which comprised species considered as allergenic (e.g., Acarus siro complex, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Glycy- phagus domesticus, Chortoglyphus arcuatus and Gymnoglyphus longior). Species of the families Acaridae (A. siro, A. farris and A. immobilis), Glycyphagidae (G. domesticus, L. destructor and L. michaeli) and Chortoglyphidae (C. arcuatus) have been found as numeri- cally dominant among astigmatid mites. The majority of mites were found in cowsheds (approx. 32%) and in pigsties (25.9%). The remaining mites were found in barns (19.6%), chaff-cutter buildings (13.9%) and poultry houses (8.8%).

Abstract: Predatory soil-dwelling mites, Gaeolaelaps aculeifer (Canestrini) and Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae), are essential biocontrol agents of small soil arthropod pests. To understand the population characteristics of these two predatory mites, we investigated their development, survival, and fecundity under laboratory conditions. We used Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) as a food source and analyzed the data using the age-stage, two-sex life table. The duration from egg to adult for G. aculeifer was longer than that for S. scimitus, but larval duration was similar Citation: Park, J.; Mostafiz, M.M.; between the two species.

Accepted 15 February, 2013 The distribution and abundance of cattle tick species in Humbo woreda, Wolaita zone, was studied over a period of 6 months from November, 2011 to April, 2012. Adult ticks were collected from seven main body regions of 384 cattle which were under extensive management system. Out of the total of 384 cattle examined, 238 (61%) were found to be infested by one or more tick species. About 2,439 adult ticks were collected from the animal body parts and identified to genera and species level. Five tick species of three genera (Amblyomma, Boophilus and Rhipicephalus) were identified. The relative prevalence of each species was Boophilus decolaratus (30%), Rhipicephalus evertsi-evertsi (25%), Amblyomma varigatum (25%), A. cohaerence (11%), and A. lepidium (6%). The risk factors like sex and age of cattle did not show significant association with the infestation rate but there was association with both breeds and body conditions. The prevalence of tick infestation in medium body condition (78%), poor body condition (67%), and good body condition (57%) was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) among the three groups of body conditions.

Fine structure of receptor organs in oribatid mites (Acari) G. A l b e r t i Abstract: Receptor organs of oribatid mites represent important characters in taxonomy. However, knowledge about their detailed morphology and function in the living animal is only scarce. A putative sensory role of several integumental structures has been discussed over years but was only recently clarified. In the following the present state of knowledge on sensory structures of oribatid mites is reviewed. Setiform sensilla are the most obvious sensory structures in Oribatida. According to a clas- sification developed mainly by Grandjean the following types are known: simple setae, trichobothria, eupathidia, famuli and solenidia. InEupelops sp. the simple notogastral setae are innervated by two dendrites terminating with tubulär bodies indicative of mechanore- ceptive cells. A similar innervation was seen in trichobothria ofAcrogalumna longipluma. The trichobothria are provided with a setal basis of a very high complexity not known from other arthropods. The setal shafts of these two types of sensilla are solid and without pores. They thus represent so called no pore sensilla (np-sensilla).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gerald T. Baker for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on August 17, 1982 Title: Observations on the Morphology and Biology of Rhizoglyphus ro4W/claparede cari, Acaridae) Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: r -Dr. ,G. W. Krantz The cuticle of Rhizoglyphus robiniClaparede is about 1.6pM thick in the adult stage and has a lamellated procuticle and athin, complex epicuticle. Pore canals pass through the cuticle from the epidermis. Muscles are attached directly to the cuticle or are secured by a complex system of extracellular fibers and septate junctions. The myo-integumental attachment sites lack the oriented microtubules that exist in myo-cuticular junctions in insects. The skeletal muscles of R. robini have Z, I, and A bands, but lack the H and M bands that are found in other arthropods. The opisthonotal glands consist of a lipid-filled sac underlain by several specialized cells which differ from the epidermal cells beneath the cuticle. The digestive system has a basic acaridid form that is characterized by a well developed ventriculus, a pair of caeca, a colon and rectum, and a pair of Malpighian tubules. The male reproductive system is characterized by,a pair of testes and a large accessory gland while the female system consists of a pairof ovaries, receptaculum seminalis, and accessory glands. The central nervous system is comprised of a supra- and sub-oesophageal ganglia from which nerve trunks emerge to supply the mouth parts, legs, digestive and reproductive systems. The peripheral nervous system consists of mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors.
