Some Biological Aspects and Life Table Parameters of Caloglyphus manuri Eraky & Osman (Acaridida: Acaridae) Fed on Different Kinds of Food

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Life History of Caloglyphus manure, Sancassania (caloglyphus) berlesei and Tyroghagus putrescentiae (Acari:Acaridae) Feeding on Root-Knot Nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita .

“…Generally, male immature had shorter life cycle than females . Similar results were obtained by Osman and Eraky (2008) who reared C.manuri on eggmasses of Meloidogyne spp. and found that life cycle durated 10.4 and 8.1 days for female and male, respectively .…”

“…He also found ( 2003), that its fecundity average 237.4 eggs when reared on buckwheat sprouts . Also in Eraky and Osman (2008) reported that C.manuri female of laid 601.4, 535.0 and159.1 eggs and lived for 15.7, 11.6 and 17.8 days when reared on yeast, dry cheese and root knot nematode respectively .…”

Temperature Influence on Development and Life Table Parameters of the Acarid Mite, Caloglyphus manuri Eraky & Osman Reared on the Root-Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne sp.

“…Similar results were obtained by Eraky (1987) when reared Caloglyphus berlesei (Mich.) on yeasted Drosophila, as life cycle durated 7.5 day at 26 º C, Woodring (1969) stated that life cycle of Caloglyphus anomalus averaged 6.5 days at 23 º C whereas, Walia and Mathur (1998) indicated that Tyrophagous putrescentiae (Schrank) female life cycle durated 13.12 days when reared on juveniles of root the knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica). Chmielewski (2000) reported that female C. berlesei life cycle was 19.90 when feed on bee-bread; while in 2003, he found that its life cycle decreased to 17.7when reared on buckwheat sprouts at 20 º C, and 95-100% R.H. Also, Eraky and Osman (2008) reported that female and male life cycle of C. manure was 10.40 and 8.10, respectively when reared on Meloidogyne sp. at 25 º C. …”

“…Among these mites, Caloglyphus manuri Eraky & Osman has been reported preying on plant nematodes; Eraky and Osman (2008). Therfore present work aims to study the different biological aspects of C. manuri when fed on the egg mass of Meloidogyne spp.…”

Effects of temperature on the life-history traits of Sancassania (Caloglyphus) berlesei (Acari: Astigmatina: Acaridae) feeding on root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. (Nematoda: Meloidogynidae)

“…when fed nematodes as compared to yeasts. Eraky and Osman (2008) observed developmental times of Sancassania manuri Eraky & Osman to range from 5.9 to 10.4 days depending upon the food regime (yeast, dry cheese or Meloidogyne sp. egg masses).…”
