“…Nevertheless, the number of immature stages is relatively low indicating a low reproductive capacity under these circumstances. In the present work, T. neiswanderi populations have shown intrinsic rates of increase much higher than the populations of this mite feeding on different species of plants (Czajkowska et al 1988;Czajkowska and Kropczynska 1991; the comparison was made by transforming the r m per week provided by these authors to r m per day, as calculated here). The reproductive capacity of T. neiswanderi populations feeding on fungi might be more similar to the values obtained on an ideal diet like the brewer's yeast than those obtained on plants.…”

“…On the other hand, although the capacity of increase of T. neiswanderi has been evaluated by Czajkowska and Kropczynska (1991) in four different host plants (freesia and crocus corms, tulip and hyacinth bulbs), these data cannot be extrapolated to the situation found in stored products, where the availability and quality of the food may be much higher than those occurring in the crops that T. neiswanderi is able to infest. Because of that, it is necessary to study the reproductive parameters of T. neiswanderi under optimal nutritional conditions in order to evaluate its maximum potential increase as an approximation to the situation found in stored food.…”

The astigmatid mite Tyrophagus neiswanderi Johnston and Bruce is mainly considered a pest of ornamental and horticultural crops. However, this mite has been found infesting Cabrales cheese in Spain, though its population density is low compared to Acarus farris, the prevalent species of astigmatid mite encountered in Cabrales cheese maturing caves. One of the factors that might be influencing this differential abundance is temperature. In the present study the effect of temperature on reproductive parameters and longevity of T. neiswanderi was examined at six constant temperatures, ranging from 10 to 31 degrees C, and a relative humidity of 90 +/- 5%. Preoviposition period, fecundity and daily fecundity were adversely affected by extreme temperatures while the oviposition period increased as temperature was reduced. Male and female longevity increased as temperature decreased, but males showed significantly greater longevity than females. Additionally, this difference was greater as temperature decreased. The effect of temperature on the intrinsic rate of natural increase of T. neiswanderi populations was described by the non-linear Lactin model. The optimum temperature for development was predicted at 26.6 degrees C. At this temperature, the population doubling time is 2.8 days. The lower and upper thresholds for T. neiswanderi populations were calculated at 7.4 and 31.7 degrees C, respectively. According to these results, the influence of temperature on the low population density of this mite found in Cabrales maturing caves compared with A. farris is discussed.

[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] En los productos almacenados se han identificado diferentes especies pertenecientes a las órdenes Astigmata, Cryptostigmata, Prostigmata y Mesostigmata. La primera de estas, contiene las especies de mayor incidencia económica, al infestar una amplia gama de alimentos almacenados, tales como, granos, frutos secos, queso, carne y derivados cárnicos, entre otros.…”

<p>Los ácaros, pertenecientes al orden “Astigmata”, son uno de los problemas más importantes que afectan a la industria cárnica dedicada a la fabricación de productos secos y curados, principalmente al jamón, ocasionando incalculables pérdidas económicas en este renglón de la economía. Considerados una plaga, ocasionan alteraciones organolépticas e incluso la putrefacción del producto, además de ser fuente potencial de bacterias alterantes y/o patógenas. De esta forma, el control de los ácaros debe suponer el uso de un método que permita controlar su actividad o erradicarlos, sin embargo, se debe tener en cuenta la naturaleza de estos productos cárnicos para evitar causar alteraciones físicas, químicas u organolépticas al producto final o ir en contra del proceso de elaboración del Jamón.</p><p> </p>
