“…Both cis - and trans -octa-1,5-dien-3-ol isolated from the fungi, Trichothecium roseum , have been determined to be attractive to T. putrescentiae mites [138] (Table 7). It has been suggested that in the absence of a traditional food source, stored food mites may utilize xerophilic fungi as a source of nutrients [139]. Because xerophilic fungi prefer dry environments, they are likely to thrive while traditional food sources for stored food mites may be limited or absent.…”

The Acari are of significant economic importance in crop production and human and animal health. Acaricides are essential for the control of these pests, but at the same time, the number of available pesticides is limited, especially for applications in animal production. The Acari consist of two major groups, the mites that demonstrate a wide variety of life strategies, i.e., herbivory, predation and ectoparasitism, and ticks which have evolved obligatory hematophagy. The major sites of chemoreception in the acarines are the chelicerae, palps and tarsi on the forelegs. A unifying name, the “foretarsal sensory organ” (FSO), is proposed for the first time in this review for the sensory site on the forelegs of all acarines. The FSO has multiple sensory functions including olfaction, gustation, and heat detection. Preliminary transcriptomic data in ticks suggest that chemoreception in the FSO is achieved by a different mechanism from insects. There are a variety of laboratory and field bioassay methods that have been developed for the identification and characterization of attractants but minimal techniques for electrophysiology studies. Over the past three to four decades, significant progress has been made in the chemistry and analysis of function for acarine attractants in mites and ticks. In mites, attractants include aggregation, immature female, female sex and alarm pheromones; in ticks, the attraction–aggregation–attachment, assembly and sex pheromones; in mites and ticks host kairomones and plant allomones; and in mites, fungal allomones. There are still large gaps in our knowledge of chemical communication in the acarines compared to insects, especially relative to acarine pheromones, and more so for mites than ticks. However, the use of lure-and-kill and lure-enhanced biocontrol strategies has been investigated for tick and mite control, respectively, with significant environmental advantages which warrant further study.

The start of the grazing, rate of the consumption of fungi, mite population growth and humidity conditions were observed. Differences were found in regard to the attractiveness as well as to the nutritional value expressed by the population dynamics. Penicillium chermesinum and some strains of Penicillium claviforme seem to be the most suitable food, but also some Alternaria species and Mucor racemosus are very palatable for mites tested. The population explosion of bacteria associated with mites during the consumption of some fungi followed by the population increase of mites of the family Anoetidae were recorded. The total and irreversible destruction of some fungi tested was observed as a consequence of the mite grazing. Zusammenfassung Untersuchungen zur Nahrungsselektion einer Freilandpopulation von Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Acari, Acarida) Untersuchungskriterien waren der Beginn des Abweidens des Pilzrasens, die Verzehrungsrate, das Populationswachstum der Milbe sowie die Feuchtigkeitsbedingungen. Unterschiede konnten sowohl hinsichtlich der Attraktivität als auch des Nahrungswerts, ausgedrückt durch das Populationswachstum, festgestellt werden. Penicillium chermesinum und einige Stämme von Penicillium claviforme scheinen als Nahrung besonders geeignet zu sein, aber auch einige Alternaria‐Arten und Mucor racemosus sind für die getesteten Milben sehr attraktiv. Ein explosionsartiger Populationsanstieg von Bakterien, die mit den Milben vergesellschaftet sind, konnte beim Verzehr einiger Pilze im Zuge des Populationswachstums der Milben der Familie Anoetidae festgestellt werden. Eine vollständige und irreversible Zerstörung einiger getesteter Pilze konnte als Folge des Abweidens durch die Milben beobachtet werden.

“…However, experiments using dry fungi or solvent extracts of fungi [52] have highlighted the existence of an attractive effect on mites revealing the presence of semio-chemicals in living fungi. Indeed, studying Trichothecium roseum (Fungi imperfecti), Vanhaelen et al [58,59], isolated cis-and trans-octa-1,5-dien-3-ol which was shown to be a strong attractant of T. putrescentiae.…”

In the indoor environment, mites and fungi are two of the most important causes of asthma and rhinitis in people. Although these two subjects are often studied separately, to do so ignores the important ecological relationship between them. For example, fungi may be a source of nutrients, providing the sterols and vitamins required by one of the most important house-dust mites, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. In addition, two other mite species also found in the indoor environment, Acarus siro and Tyrophagus putrescentiae, are attracted by fungi and feed on some species of them. In return, these two mite species are capable of inoculating the micro-organisms into clean food commodities. This review is an attempt to highlight the complex interaction between mites and fungi and to give an overview of our knowledge of this microscopic world. It also hopes to give a clearer understanding of the mechanisms by which fungicides can control, or not, the development of domestic mite populations.
