This study investigates the survival of Tropilaelaps mercedesae on various matrices, finding it can survive over 144 hours on decomposing pupae and adults, suggesting transmission routes beyond brood.

This study assesses Tropilaelaps mercedesae resistance to synthetic miticides and finds resistance to all tested chemicals except Amitraz, which showed 64% efficacy.

The paper compares field and laboratory methods for detecting Tropilaelaps mites, finding that novel methods are more effective than existing ones.
