Dear Acarologists,

I'm not acarologist but I have found some species of Rat ectoparasite ticks

Dear Acarologists
I am looking for an Acarology book which was recommended to me by a Swiss
Acarologist. I've tried several bookshops but can't find this book. If there
is anyone who can tell me if it's still available and where, I'd be very
grateful for your help:
HUGUES A. M., 1976
The mites of stored food and houses. Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food. Technical Bulletin 9. London. 400 Pages. ISBN 0 11 240 909 I*

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

The Hughes book has been out of print for some years.  You might be able to
find a copy by checking used book dealers.  I checked two web search
engines for used books in the USA but only found one copy of the 1961
edition of this work.
 The book is very useful for its discussions on the biology/ecology
of various species of stored product mites.  As a guide for identification,
it is not so useful any more.  The taxonomy is outdated, keys are
incomplete, and illustrations are not up to current standards.  Also, many
species which are restricted to warmer climates are not included.
 All the best - Barry

I am trying to complete a quick test of some chemicals to control dust
mites and need some help getting the mites from wandering off. After a few
weeks of experimenting, I have finally settled on rimming a regular glass
microscope slide with vaseline, putting some mites in the middle and
covering it with a glass cover slip. The idea would be that the cover slip
would be treated with the chemical.

Does this sound reasonable to you?

Thanks in advance for your help. I can be reached at dbs8@psu.edu. Please
respond to me and not the list.

Thanks again,

Subject:  Research information on the predatory habits of
Hypoaspis sps.

Dr. Zhang,
After review your website on Acarology, I thought perhaps you could
help me.  I am currently researching for an effective method of
bio-control for <I>Ophionyssus natricis</I>, the snake mite.  I have been
told that members of the species <I>Hypoaspis</> will in fact predate this
species. Therefore, I am attempting to gather information on the
predatory habits of <I>Hypoaspis</I>, specifically, whether or not they
will prey on <I>Ophionyssus</>, and especially their eggs. If you could
provide me with any information or source regarding this matter I would
greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time, John Crocker
