“…It is known to prey on other mites (Hughes 1976, Pekar and Hubert 2008, Cebolla et al 2009) and also feeds on eggs of Ephestia cautella Walker, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) (Nangia et al 1994), E. kuehniella Zeller (Athanassiou and Palyvos 2006), Tribolium confusum Duv. (Rizk et al 1979), T. castaneum (Herbst) (Cebolla et al 2009) and it attacks young larvae or nymphs of other insects (Yousef et al 1982;Sengonca et al 2004). Cheyletus malaccensis is associated with both grain mass and grain residues (Hubert et al 2006).…”

Reproduction, survival, and life table parameters of the predatory mite Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans were evaluated at six constant temperatures: 17.5, 20, 25, 30, 32.5 and 35°C, feeding on Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank). Preoviposition period of fertilized and virgin females varied with temperature from ca. 9 days at 17.5°C to ca. 1.5 day at 32.5°C and then increased to ca. 3 days at 35°C. Virgin female oviposition period was significantly shorter than for fertilized females at the temperatures examined with the exception of 17.5°C. The mean total number of eggs per fertilized (169.7 ± 6.6) and virgin female (60.7 ± 4.3) was highest at the temperature of 30°C. The data indicated a significant positive and nearly doubling effect of fertilization on female fecundity at the temperatures examined with the exception of 17.5°C. Age-specific fecundity was described by a temperature dependent model from which the maximum daily fecundity rate was estimated for fertilized and virgin females at 10.3 (at 30°C) and 6.8 (at 32.5°C) eggs/female, respectively. Virgin female longevity was significantly shorter than for fertilized females at 20, 30 and 32.5°C, and decreased from ca. 57 days at 17.5°C to ca. 17 days at 35°C. The Weibull function that was used to describe the age specific survival of fertilized and virgin females produced excellent fits to the survival data. Estimates of intrinsic rate of increase, net reproductive rate, mean generation time, doubling time and finite rate of increase, were obtained. The r(m) value increased with temperature from 0.03 (day(-1)) at 17.5°C to 0.21 (day(-1)) at 32.5°C, after which it decreased to 0.15 (day(-1)) at 35°C. These data indicate that C. malaccensis can reproduce at temperatures between 17.5 and 35°C and can be used for biological control of astigmatid mites within the temperature range where the pest occurs.

The control of ectoparasites is essential for maintaining biosafety in a poultry farm. This paper aimed to analyze the mite fauna associated to abandoned nests and commercial laying hens in the towns of Lajeado and Teutônia, Vale do Taquari, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Samplings were conducted from December 2010 to July 2011. A total of 11,757 mites belonging to 21 families and 31 species were found. Cheyletidae showed the highest number of species (4), followed by Blattisocidae (3 species). Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer) showed the highest number of individuals (5,689), followed by Megninia gynglimura Mégnin (2,175), and Chortoglyphus arcuatus Troupeau (1,488). Blattisocius tarsalis Berlese, C. arcuatus, and D. gallinae were found on traps, feathers, poultry farm nests without cages (free), and abandoned bird nests

“…Several species of Cheyletus found associated with and feed on mites, acarid eggs, stored grain and small insects such as eggs, young larvae or nymphs of moths and beetles (Zaher & Soliman, 1971;Hughes, 1976;Yousef et al, 1982;Sinha, 1988;Nangia et al, 1994Hubert et al, 2006and Cebolla et al, 2009. Therefore, the present work aimed to evaluate, C. malaccensis when fed on three types of food (eggs, immatures and adults) of T. cucurbitacearum at laboratory conditions, 32±2°C and 50±10% RH..…”

Developmental time, consumption rate and fecundity of Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans were studied on different stages (eggs, immatures and adults) of Tetranychus cucurbitacearum (Sayed) at laboratory conditions, 32±2°C and 50±10% R.H. Data analysis revealed a significant effect among different stages except for incubation period at both sexes. Life cycle of female was longer than of male. Duration of female was 28.7, 20.4 and 23.4 days and 17.79, 18.15 and 20.9 days for male when fed on the three preys, respectively. The adult longevity of female showed longer duration (52.4 days) when fed on eggs than male (18.9 days) fed on the same prey. The number of prey consumed and the fecundity were significantly lower when fed on T. cucurbitacearum ( immatures and adults) compared to eggs of the same prey.Data provide fundamental information for understanding the effect of different prey on development of C. malaccensis.
