Aceria ilicis causes felt-like galls (erinea), which are a patch of glandular hairs, caused by gall mites of the family Eriophyoidea. The bulge is 2–3 mm high on the upperside of the leaf of holm oak (also known as evergreen oak) and the depression below is several mm wide; there are usually several on a leaf.
Aceria chondrillae [1] (chondrilla gall mite, skeletonweed gall mite) is a gall-forming deuterogynous eriophyid mite. It is often used as a biological control of the noxious weed Chondrilla juncea (rush skeletonweed), [ 2 ] a highly competitive herbaceous perennial composite found in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.
Eriophyidae is a family of more than 200 genera of mites, which live as plant parasites, commonly causing galls or other damage to the plant tissues and hence known as gall mites. About 3,600 species have been described, but this is probably less than 10% of the actual number existing in this poorly researched family.
Aceria is a genus of mites belonging to the family Eriophyidae, the gall mites.These tiny animals are parasites of plants.Several species can cause blistering and galls, including erineum galls. [1]
Eriophyes is a genus of mite that forms galls, mainly on the leaves of deciduous plants. Some are called blister mites. The blue butterfly Celastrina serotina has been reported to feed on these galls and also on the mites, making it one of the uncommon carnivorous Lepidoptera. [1] Whereas other mites have four paired legs, Eriophyes have only ...
The mites are resistant to chemical treatments, [2] because once symptoms are visible, the mites have already entered leaf and flower buds, which afford them protection. [5] Products that contain abamectin or spirodiclofen provide some control, [ 4 ] though repeated applications at four-day intervals may be necessary to break the mite life ...
Aculops rhois, the poison ivy gall mite, is a species of Eriophyid mite found in North America. They form galls in poison ivy as well as other members of North American Toxicodendron and some species of Rhus (including fragrant sumac [ 1 ] ).
Mites form numerous capsule galls, greenish-yellow in color, between leaf veins of Ash trees in the genus Fraxinus, including Fraxinus americana, Fraxinus latifolia, Fraxinus nigra, and Fraxinus pennsylvanica. [3] [4] The mites stay in the galls until late summer when host leaves mature. [5]: 50 The life cycle is a form of alternation of ...
