Examples of mite

• Rats, including the ears, were examined for ectoparasites (fleas, lice, mites and ticks) and collected by fine-toothcombing.

• Secondly, ballooning spider mites are strongly polyphagous and widely distributed in many types of habitats.

• The volatile blend induced in ginkgo by jasmonic acid was slightly attractive to predatory mites.

• As a direct result of this loss the scales shrink slightly, air-pockets thickly populated with mites are formed, and the whole bulb becomes flaccid.

• The species composition and the numbers of individuals and species of oribatid mites in the litter were affected by the size of the ferns.

• However, the low parasite intensity in this species makes the method unsuitable for growth of mites intended for the preparation of larger batches of antigen.

• The high frequency of application of insecticides has often resulted in the emergence of insects and mites resistant to the active ingredient.

• In spider mites, the ancestral state for the use of silk seems to have been to protect egg masses.
