Sarcoptic and psoroptic mange threaten the health of both animals and humans worldwide and result in enormous socioeconomic loss. Discovery of new lead compounds is a major goal for controlling this kind of disease. However, the methodological shortcomings of acaricidal tests against Sarcoptes and Psoroptes mites for screening active compounds in vitro troubles colleagues and should be given more attention.

The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor remains a great threat for the beekeeping industry, for example contributing to excessive winter colony loss in Canada. For decades, beekeepers have sequentially used the registered synthetic varroacides tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos, amitraz, and flumethrin, leading to the risk of resistance evolution in the mites. In addition to the widespread resistance to coumaphos and pyrethroids, a decline in amitraz efficacy has recently been reported in numerous beekeeping regions in Canada.

Tetranychus urticae Koch, commonly known as two spotted spider mites, is a major agricultural pest that causes significant economic loss. Predatory mites, such as Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot and Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) are important biological control agents for this pest. However, the efficacy of these predators can be compromised by pesticide application.
