Abstract
This work was conducted to survey the mite species associated with stored food stuff during the two successive years (2018 and 2019), in El-Sharqia Governorate. The obtained results indicated that thirty eight mite species were found in twenty four different stored products, as follows: wheat grain, wheat flour, wheat bran, rice grain, maize grain, garlic, hay, onion, pea, cumin, corn, pea, bread bean, animal feed, poultry feed, carrot, Egyptian clover, straw, okra seeds, grass, watercress, potato, house dust and barley were collected from El-Sharqia governorate, Egypt. The collected mites were found belonging to three suborders and 15 families in orderAcariformes. Suborder Acaridida (Astigmata) included 21 species belong to 6 families; suborder Actinedida (Prostigmata) included 12 species of 7 families, while suborder Oribatida (Cryptostigmata) included only five species of two families.
