Description
Storage mites are common pests of stored food and other processed agricultural products and an infestation can occur at any point throughout the supply chain; this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date study of mites associated with these products, covering core concerns including the mites of cheese, ham and sausages, mushrooms and vegetable fibres.

The presence of storage mites is associated with serious hygienic implications and economic loss and can be harmful to the health of humans and animals. Numerous species belonging to different families are described and illustrated in addition to the inclusion of general chapters on:
  • Systems of Acari
  • Classification of mites of stored food
  • External and internal morphology
  • Bio-ecology
  • Collecting and detecting, preserving, preparing and rearing
  • Damage and control.
Written by an experienced author within the field, this is an important resource for researchers, laboratory scientists and students involved in acarology, agricultural entomology, pest management, and food preservation, science and safety.
