IOBC: Predatory mite (Typhlodromus pyri)
IOBC: Predatory mite (Typhlodromus pyri)
The IOBC: Predatory mite (Typhlodromus pyri) assesses the effect of a substance on mortality of mite protonymphs, and the reproductive performance of adult mites. Protonymphs are exposed to the test substance dried onto glass plates or leaves, and mortality is assessed on day 7. Subsequent egg and larval hatching are measured at intervals over a further 7 days to assess reproductive performance.

As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
