Most of them are monophagous or oligophagous and closely associated with the olive tree, while the remainder have many to a few host plants in addition to olive, but have populations adapted to olive. Of the species covered, 16 are Homoptera, one Hemiptera, one Thysanoptera, five Coleoptera, four Diptera, seven Lepidoptera, six Eriophyoidea and one Tetranychoidea. The review shows that all species, except one, have a seasonal dormancy and for most of them diapause is certain or reasonably suspected to occur. Seasonal displacement does occur in a number of species, especially shortly before or after dormancy. Differences between authors in seasonal history are pointed out and conclusions drawn based on the most convincing papers.

Oxygen consumption was recorded at six temperatures for three subsequent days to determine the respiration rate-temperature relationship and to describe the acclimation process to constant temperature conditions. The response of the animals to temperature changes was also determined. Low respiration rates and Q(10) values, a relative thermal independence at temperature extremes and an acute response to temperature increase are the main metabolic characteristics of the animals.

The role of Demodex cati in the pathogenesis of otitis and acne is still obscure. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of O. cynoyis and D. cati infestations in clinically normal cats in northern Greece, to determine the factors that are associated with the probability and severity of infestation in the cat, and to examine the importance of these mites in the pathogenesis of feline acne. Samples from 161 cats were examined by flushing the ear canals and by taking skin scrapings of the chin and lip area. The results were combined with various factors (sex, age, living style, hair coat type and presence of pruritus, of ear discharge, of acne-like lesions) in order to carry out a risk analysis. Two separate logistic regression analyses were performed. One, on the infestation/non-infestation potential with O. cynotis and the other, on the degree of such infestation as mild-to-moderate (?5 mites/field) or severe (>5 mites/field). D. cati was not detected in any of the 161 cats. The prevalence of O. cynotis was estimated at 25.5\% (95\% confidence interval (CI) 19-32). The rate of mite infestation was higher with the presence of ear discharge (odds ratio 9, 95\% CI 3.3-24.5), periaural pruritus (odds ratio 3.6, 95\% CI 1.8-8) and acne-like lesions (odds ratio 3.3, 95\% CI 1.2-9). Cats with mild-to-moderate degree of infestation had 18 times higher chance of exhibiting an ear discharge than those with a severe infestation. The log-odds of mild-to-moderate parasitism were linearly related to the age. {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.}, keywords = {Acari, Cat, Demodex cati, Otodectes cynotis, PREVALENCE}, author = {Sotiraki, S.T. and Koutinas, A.F. and Leontides, L.S. and Adamama-Moraitou, K.K. and Himonas, C.A.} } @article {11963, title = {Cunaxid mites of Greece (Acari : Cunaxidae)}, journal = {International Journal of AcarologyInternational Journal of Acarology}, volume = {29}, number = {4}, year = {2003}, note = {Times Cited: 0ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 79750lz}, month = {DEC}, pages = {315-325}, abstract = {A nationwide survey of cunaxid mites of Greece revealed 14 species belonging to the genera Bonzia Oudemans (I species), Cunaxoides Baker and Hoffmann (4 species), Pulaeus Den Heyer (I species), Neocunaxoides Smiley (2 species), Cunaxa Von Heyden (4 species), Coleoscirus Berlese (I species) and Pseudobonzia Smiley (I species).

In Aegeon and Sparti the second most frequent species was T. amaliae, with 11\% and 6\% respectively, but in Preveza it was T. athenas, with 9\% frequency. The other species could be considered as scarce. One species of phytophagous mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, was found.

During 1983-1986, 11 620 tick specimens, belonging to 18 species and subspecies, were collected from cattle, sheep, goats and dogs, in 64 localities throughout Macedonia. Rhipicephalus bursa, the most common tick, and Hyalomma marginatum marginatum occurred in all bioclimatic zones, as well as the two one-host ticks, Boophilus annulatus and H. detritum scupense, which were present in fewer localities. R. turanicus, R. sanguineus, Ixodes gibbosus and H. anatolicum excavatum occurred essentially in the mesomediterranean bioclimatic zone. I. ricinus, Dermacentor marginatus and Haemaphysalis ticks (Hm. inermis, Hm. punctata, Hm. sulcata, Hm. parva) were found frequently in the biotopes of the attenuated mesomediterranean and submediterranean bioclimates. Rhipicephalus adults and the two-host Hyalomma ticks were active in the spring-summer period. Ixodes spp., Haemaphysalis spp., D. marginatus, as well as H. detritum scupense and the immature stages of R. bursa appeared during autumn and winter. Hyalomma and Boophilus ticks fed mainly on cattle. R. sanguineus almost exclusively parasitized dogs, which were also the only hosts from which I. hexagonus has been collected. The infestations were generally weak or moderate. Few heavy infestations were observed on cattle, especially in autumn. Most of the tick species showed a strong preference for some particular sites on the vertebrate body.

By contrast, ITS2 was shown to evolve much faster than COI between species of this genus. Furthermore, we found that these two species are polyphyletic for mtDNA but monophyletic for rDNA. Thus it appears that despite its biparental transmission and multiplicity of copies in the genome, nuclear rDNA has a smaller effective population size than mtDNA in these species. The conjunction of efficient concerted evolution and/or gene conversion in the rDNA cluster, the haplodiploidy of these species and their female-biased sex ratio could account for this apparent contradiction.}, keywords = {Acari}, author = {Navajas, M.} } @article {9061, title = {New and interesting mites from the Geneva Museum .49.

The infestation level of the colonies varied between 8\% and 35\%. Sealed brood cells (n = 8454) containing a healthy worker pupa older than the {\textquoteright}pale eyes stage or a resting adult were examined. The cells examined were singly infested by a fertile V. jacobsoni with normal offspring in 92\% of the cases. A total number of 3543 developing fertile V. jacobsoni female descendants (fd) was studied. During the mobile phases the losses of the parasite in the first, second and third fd were 2.8\%, 13.8\%, 30.4\%, respectively. Under natural conditions no death factors act against the first fd until it reaches the second immobile phase, or deutochrysalis phase (DCHR) in the worker brood cell. For the subsequent fd, malnutrition possibly plays the most important role during the pre-DCHR mobile phases. During the immobile phases the main losses of the first fd occur in the DCHR phase. On average, the death rates for the first, second and third DCHR were 6.2\%, 11.3\% and 14.2\%, respectively, in worker brood cells containing maturing pupae. Rates of losses for the DCHR of the three fd determined in cells containing the resting adult were 15.8\%, 37.1\% and 56.9\%, respectively. The general losses concerning all developing phases of the mite, i.e. pre-DCHR and DCHR, for the first, second and third fd in worker brood cells were 18.6\%, 50.9\% and 87.3\%, respectively. Death of the DCHR of V. jacobsoni in the worker brood cell of A. mellifera is connected with aging of the host. This is based on the following: (a), practically no death of DCHR was observed as long as the host retained its white body colour; dead DCHR appeared first when the aging worker pupa acquired yellow body colour; and (b), the death rate of DCHR increases as the worker pupa becomes older. The possible influence of different natural or artificial factors causing death of female DCHR is discussed.}, keywords = {Acari, Apis mellifera, bee, behavior, carnica, cerana fabr, colonies, death, defense, deutochrysalis, development, females, honeybee brood, host age, juvenile mortality, macedonica, natural conditions, ontogeny, oud, varroa jacobsoni}, author = {Ifantidis, M.

Under the long day photoperiod of LD 16:8 diapause was terminated in less than 20 days irrespective of the date of collection. These results indicate that by mid February photoperiodic sensitivity of females was lost and diapause was terminated.

The mean SCP of eggs was -27.6{\textdegree}C. The mean SCPs of different immature stages fed on pollens of Papaver rhoeas L. or Typha sp. enriched with {\^a}-carotene were similar and varied from -21.1 to -24.7{\textdegree}C. The mean SCPs of diapause females acclimated for 2 wk at 5{\textdegree}C or not acclimated, nondiapause females and males fed on pollens of P. rhoeas and Typha sp. were similar and varied from -22 to -24.3{\textdegree}C. When groups of diapause females were exposed temporarily to different subzero temperatures, the temperature-mortality curve followed the distribution of the SCPs, which indicates that the SCP is the lower limit of survival. More than 80\% of the diapause females died when exposed for 20 min to - 15{\textdegree}C, a temperature well above the SCP which indicates that they suffered prefreeze mortality. They survived considerably longer durations of exposure to - 15{\textdegree}C after a prior acclimation for 2 wk at different low temperatures. After certain acclimation treatments, diapause females that survived exposure to - 15{\textdegree}C laid a similar number of viable eggs as those not exposed to subzero temperatures, which indicates that cold stress may not affect fecundity.}, keywords = {Acari, cold hardiness, Euseius finlandicus, Phytoseiidae, Supercooling}, author = {Broufas, G.D. and Koveos, D.S.} } @article {4089, title = {Development, survival, and reproduction of the predatory mite Kampimodromus aberrans (Acari : Phytoseiidae) at different constant temperatures}, journal = {Environmental EntomologyEnvironmental EntomologyEnvironmental Entomology}, volume = {36}, number = {4}, year = {2007}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 197DTTimes Cited: 9Cited Reference Count: 43}, month = {Aug}, pages = {657-665}, type = {Article}, abstract = {Development, survival, and reproduction of the predatory mite Kampiraodromus aberrans Oudemans were studied at constant temperatures in the range from 15 to 35 degrees C under laboratory conditions. Larval developmental rate for both males and females increased gradually from 15 to 35 degrees C and decreased at higher temperatures. Lactin{\textquoteright}s nonlinear model described with adequate accuracy the relationship between developmental rate and temperature. The model predicted that lower and upper threshold temperatures for preimaginal development ranged from 9.8 to 11.8 degrees C and from 37.2 to 39.8 degrees C, respectively. The intrinsic rate of population increase (r(m)) at the different temperatures ranged from 0.0442 to 0.1575, with the highest value recorded at 25 degrees C. At 33 degrees C a negative r(m) value was estimated. The r values determined at different temperatures were fitted to Lactin{\textquoteright}s nonlinear model, and the lower and upper threshold and the optimal temperatures for population increase were 10.5, 32.4, and 27.6 degrees C, respectively. These data indicate that K. aberrans may be better adapted to intermediate temperatures around 27 degrees C and, therefore, could be a useful biocontrol agent of spider mites during spring and early summer when such temperatures are prevalent in northern Greece. The results could also be useful in developing a population model for K. aberrans under field conditions.}, keywords = {Acari, ANDERSONI CHANT, biology, development, EUSEIUS-FINLANDICUS ACARI, food, history, Kampimodromus aberrans, LIFE-TABLES, Phytoseiidae, POPULATION-GROWTH, reproduction, temperature effects, TETRANYCHIDAE, TYPHLODROMUS-PYRI SCHEUTEN, vineyards}, isbn = {0046-225X}, author = {Broufas, G.

Group I received no acaricide treatment while Group II was treated with 50 g menthol twice a year. There was no evidence that mites had transferred from infested Groups I and II to nearby non-infested Group III, and no difference in honey production between the groups was observed. There was a rapid decline in the infestation in all three groups, irrespective of treatment, with complete disappearance about seven months before the end of the experiment.}, keywords = {Acarapis woodi, Acari, Greece, Menthol, Seasonal variation, Tracheal mites}, author = {Bacandritsos, N.K. and Saitanis, C.J.} } @article {3111, title = {Mites associated with stored seed cotton and related products in Greece}, journal = {PhytoparasiticaPhytoparasitica}, volume = {30}, number = {4}, year = {2002}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 1Export Date: 6 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Bereen, J.M., The functional response of Cheyletus eruditus Schrank to changes in the density of its prey Acarus siro L.

Twenty-two mite taxa were found, with the predominance of mite species on each type of stored commodity differing significantly. Fifteen taxa were recorded in seed cotton, where the most abundant species were Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) and Tarsonemus waitei Banks. In contrast, only four species were found in cotton fiber, with T. putrescentiae being the dominant one. Nine taxa were recorded in the cottonseed samples, where the most abundant species was by far Lepidoglyphus destructor (Schrank). Caloglyphus sp. was the most abundant species in cotton gin trash, where a total of 13 taxa were found. Most mites were found in gin trash, followed by cottonseed and seed cotton; very few mites were detected in cotton fiber.}, keywords = {Acari, Cotton fiber, Cottonseed, Gin trash, Greece, mites, Stored cotton}, author = {Athanassiou, C.G. and Palyvos, N.E. and Eliopoulos, P.A. and Papadoulis, G.T.} } @conference {2360, title = {ECOLOGICAL NICHE SITES AND TAXONOMIC IDENTIFICATION OF YELLOW MITES (TYDEIDAE) IN FRUIT ORCHARDS OF NORTHERN GREECE}, booktitle = {12th International Congress on the Zoogeography, Ecology and Evolution of Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean}, year = {2012}, month = {18-22 June }, publisher = {Hellenic Zoological Society.}, organization = {Hellenic Zoological Society.}, address = {Athens, Greece}, keywords = {Acari, identification, niche, northern Greece, orchards, taxonomy, Tydeidae, yellow mites, ακάρεα, βόρεια Ελλάδα, εξειδίκευση, οπωρώνες, ταξινόμηση, ταυτοποίηση}, author = {Petros T.
