Abstract Birds of prey harbor a wide spectrum of various parasites, mostly with a heteroxenous life cycle. However, most reports on their parasites come from Europe. Although the Harris's hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) is a widespread species in America, parasitological surveys on this hawk are mostly focus...

Abstract Comparative studies of parasites in sympatric bird species have been generally scarce. Parasitic infection/transmission can be spread in a number of ways that suggests possible direct and indirect, horizontal transmission between avian hosts. In order to determine whether two sympatric icterids ...

Sublethal effect of Abamectin in the functional response of the predator Phytoseiulus persimilis (Athias-Henriot) on Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Phytoseiidae, Tetranychidae)

Monjarás-Barrera, J I; Chacón-Hernández, J C; Cerna-Chávez, E; Ochoa-Fuentes, Y M; Aguirre-Uribe, L A; Landeros-Flores, J.

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019

Abstract The biological control used for the control of Tetranychus urticae (Koch) is the predator mite Phytoseiulus persimilis (Athias-Henriot). It is important to the know the effects of acaricides on the biological behavior the Abamectin on the functional response of P. persimilis. The functional res...

Biological performance of the predatory mite Neoseiulus idaeus (Phytoseiidae): a candidate for the control of tetranychid mites in Brazilian soybean crops

Reichert, M B; Toldi, M; Rode, P A; Ferla, J J; Ferla, N J.

Braz. j. biol; 77 (2), 2017

Abstract The soybean (Glycine max (L.): Fabaceae) is considered the most important agricultural crop in Brazil. Phytophagous tetranychid mites as Mononychellus planki McGregor, Tetranychus ludeni Zacher and T. urticae Koch have been considered pest in soybean crops. Neoseiulus idaeus Denmark & Muma (...

Reproductive parameters of Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) fed with Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Phytoseiidae, Tetranychidae) in laboratory

Souza-Pimentel, G C; Reis, P R; Bonatto, C R; Alves, J P; Siqueira, M F.

Braz. j. biol; 77 (1), 2017

Abstract Predatory mites that belong to the Phytoseiidae family are one of the main natural enemies of phytophagous mites, thus allowing for their use as a biological control. Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks, 1904) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is among the main species of predatory mites used for this purpose. T...

Physicochemical and nutritional alterations induced by two-spotted spider mite infestation on strawberry plants

Livinali, Emanuele; Sperotto, Raul Antonio; Ferla, Noeli Juarez; Souza, Claucia Fernanda Volken de.

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (5), 2014

Background Strawberry is a pseudofruit mainly cultivated in temperate climate regions. Considering its high levels of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds, the consumption of strawberry fruit can be beneficial to health. The Brazilian strawberry production revolves around 3000 tons per year, significantl...

Phoretic mites identified on andean hummingbirds (Trochilidae) of Caldas, Colombia

Lopez-Orozco, Natalia; Cañon-Franco, William Alberto.

Rev. bras. parasitol. vet; 22 (2), 2013

Within the bird-plant-mite system, the relationship between hummingbirds, flowers, and mites remains poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the degree of association between nasal mites and eight species of Andean hummingbirds in Colombia (Amazilia saucerrottei, A. tzacatl, Chalybura buffonii, Ch...
