Tropilaelaps spp. (Mesostigmata; Laelapidae) - T. clareae belongs to the tracheal mites and naturally infests A. dorsata colonies. T. clareae is not able to life longer than a few days on adult honey bees, but they are able to infest up to 90% of the brood. [1] The infestation of T. clareae on A. mellifera colonies leads to severe damage, that are similar to those of Varroa destructor. [2] Besides T. clarae, other tropilaelaps species, namely T. mercedesae and T. koenigerum' are native to Asia. [3]
Ethiopia: There is no information about a possible presence of Tropilaelaps spp. in Ethiopia.
