This means that the program will include workshops in Introductory, Soil, Agricultural, and Medical-Veterinary Acarology. Please note that the addition of Agricultural Acarology has also caused some rearrangements in the Soil Acarology workshop.

From: Joanne Lello <joanne.lello@stir.ac.uk> To: "'acarology@nhm.ac.uk'" <acarology@nhm.ac.uk> Date: 3/15/02 1:19AM Subject: Orbatid Emergency!! I am a final year PhD researcher at the University of Stirling, Scotland. My project includes the study of two rabbit cestodes for which mites are intermediate hosts. We have recently discovered that our attempts to infect Caloglyphus berlesei have failed and that we really need to use orbatids. We are desperately trying to find a source of 'clean' mites. The problem is that the lengthy life cycle of the orbatids, precludes our collecting mites from the field to breed clean colonies. I am keenly hoping that someone on this list may have (or know of a source of ) orbatids that I could use. The species named as possible intermediates from an early study are: Xenillus tegeocranus Scutovertex minutus (the most commonly infected) Cepheus cepheiformis Trichoribates incisellus Scheloribates laevigatus However this is not necessarily an exhaustive list. The key seems to be that the mites mode of cestode egg consumption should NOT normally be to take them whole.

I'm a PhD student working on the acaricidal effect of sulphur on Tetranychus urticae. I would like to make some histology on these mites in order to see what is (are) the target(s) of sulphur. I would like to know what is the method used to prepare such mites (coloration, fixation...). Does somebody can help me? After, I would also like to make electron microscopy to see if mitochondrion are affected by sulphur, so if you got informations on this subject ... Thank you in advance.

We have generate thousands of EST sequences and number of Protein fingerprint profiles. But I do not know whether there are some pioneer scienctists have revealed the genome size of mite and initiate a pilot study of genome sequencing project for acari. Because of the lack of genomic sequence information, the proteomics study is realy difficult. Does anybody can encourage us to propose a project for the proteomics of one model mite for the benefit of world-wide interested acarologist? Is there any necessary to establish the network of acari genomics like other genome program in order to understand the functioanl biology of acari at the molecaular level? Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Subject: About snail mites
Dear all:
I'm work on oribatids, but some people that have snail farms (Helix
aspersa) brougth to me some mites that affect their farming. I identified
them as Ricardoella, probably limacum. The question of farmers is:
Are
there any effective control of these mites?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely
Pablo

Lieber Dr. Blümel,
Unsere Abteilung 'Diagnostiek' von unseren Dienst ist spezialisiert
in die
Identifikation von Schadorganismen und Parasiten/Predatoren. Gerne
wollen
wir Sie helfen mit die Bestimmung von Milben von Beeren und Erdbeeren.
Für
die Arbeit mussen wir aber Kosten in Anrechnung bringen. Erstmals müssen
wir
weissen wieviel Proben mit welcher Anzahl Milben zu bearbeiten gibt
bevor
wir die kosten bestimmen können.

Onderwerp: fwd: mite identification request to EURAAC
Hello acarologists,
I got the following mail and ask everybody who might be able to help
to
contact

Dear Dr. Weigmann,
I would like to contact you on behalf of your position as president
of
EURAAC.
Together with several collegues form different Europena countries, who
are participating in the WG5 COST 836 Action "Integrated research in
Berries" we have identified at our last meeting several arthropod pests
for which biological control measures which should be developed and/or
tested.
Amongst other arthropod pests phytophagous mites (mainly "spider mites"
and tarsonemids) are classified as important pests; for their control
predatory mites should be further tested as biocontrol agents.
However most collegues face the problem that they cannot identify
themselves both the phytophagous and/or the predatory mite species
present on e.g starwberries.
As I have taken over the task to contact acaralogist specialist
orgainsations, I would like to ask, whether within EURAAC are collegues
who are wolling to carry out the identification of mites samples
for
pre-assessment of species composition in trial areas (of course
conditions, fess etc . should be known).
Would you be so kind to help with the distribution of our request, or
to
help me with a list of collegues in EURAAC which I could contact with
my
request.
For your help thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely Yours
