“…The direct and indirect monetary cost of damage caused by invasive invertebrates to the global economy has been calculated at hundreds of billions of dollars annually (Pimentel 2005(Pimentel , 2011Pimentel et al 2005;Hong et al 2006;Wheeler and Hoebeke 2009;Ananthakrishnan 2011;Canyon et al 2011;Roques 2011). Adventive and invasive Acari share this impact with other small arthropods such as scale insects, aphids, whiteflies, thrips and psyllids.…”

Because of their small size and tolerance to many of the control procedures used for a wide variety of commodities, Acari species have become one of the fastest, unwanted pest travelers since the beginning of this century. This special issue includes eleven studies on adventive and invasive Acari species affecting major crops and livestock around the world. The nucleus for this special issue is formed by the presentations in the symposium on invasive mites and ticks organized at the International Congress of Acarology in Recife, Brazil (ICA-13), in the summer of 2010. This special issue illustrates the increased concerns about domestic and international invasive mites and ticks worldwide.

“…There has been an upward trend in the establishment of non-indigenous species and large numbers of invasive species have been documented (Randall and Marinelli 1996;Vitousek et al 1997;Nico and Fuller 1999;Xie et al 2000). An adventive species can be transported intentionally or unintentionally by man (di Castri 1990;Wheeler and Hoebeke 2009). Intentional transport is the movement of organisms to a new area for an express purpose, such as the importation of ornamental or crop plants, or as biological control agents.…”

“…The term ''adventive species'' refers to alien or exotic species, subspecies, biotypes, races or strains introduced into an area outside its native range and includes many species that cause ecological or economic problems throughout the world (Wheeler and Hoebeke 2009). Adventive species, also called ''Invasive Alien Species'' (CBD 2002), are considered to be a direct driver of biodiversity loss across the globe and are causing enormous damage to valuable agricultural systems (McNeely et al 2001).…”

Adventive eriophyoid mites: a global review of their impact, pathways, prevention and challenges

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Eriophyoids have high potential as adventive mite species (AMS) because their small size make them difficult to detect, and can be easily distributed in world trade. Economic, social and environmental impact from adventive eriophyoid mites has been significant. Considerable attention has been given to adventive insect species while adventive mites have received little attention and little information is available for eriophyoids. This paper summarizes information on adventive eriophyoid mites, their impact, and the history of some important invasions. The status of adventive species of eriophyoids introduced as biological control agents of weeds is presented. A list of eriophyoid mites reported as invasive species worldwide is given. Pathways of concern and biosecurity actions to reduce the risk of eriophyoid mites are discussed. The need to raise public awareness of the risk and importance of these tiny organisms as AMS is emphasized. Scientific and technical challenges to deal with adventive eriophyoids are discussed.
