Abstract
Biological and Ecological Studies were carried out on the grain mite Dermatophagoides farinae Hughus, when reared on three different food sources: dry yeast granules, crushed wheat and crushed rice under laboratory conditions of 25 and 30 C and 60±5% RH. Results obtained revealed that dry yeast granules was the most attractive and favored food for the mite D. farinae. It was suitable to some extent for mite survival and population build up. The generation period was completed in the shortest time when mites were fed on dry yeast at either temperatures. Female longevity required 28.6 and 22.8 days and deposited 65.2 and 55.9 eggs with a daily rate of 3.5 and 3.7 eggs when mites were fed on dry yeast at 25 and 30 C, respectively. Other diets led to a longer generation period and reduced egg deposition when the mites were reared at the above mentioned temperatures.
