      abstract = {The history of biological control of harmful organisms by  mites is marked by outstanding achievements with a few  natural enemies. The focus has been mostly on mites of the  family Phytoseiidae for the control of plant feeding mites.  This is an important family of acarine predators of plant  pest mites, which are effectively used in agriculture  worldwide. Besides the vast knowledge in several species in  this family, there are as well many opportunities for other  biological control agents, represented in an array of  organisms which are constantly found by researchers  worldwide. This has resulted in an increasing interest in  predatory mite species within other families of the Acari  orders Mesostigmata and Prostigmata, among others. This  book compiles important developments with predatory mite  species within the families Ascidae, Blattisociidae,  Melicharidae, Laelapidae, Macrochelidae, Phytoseiidae,  Stigmaeidae, Erythraeidae and Cheyletidae, which are  emerging as important tools for integrated pest management.  Pathogenic organisms attacking mites and the improvement of  management techniques are also a subject of this book. The  potential and gaps in knowledge in biological control using  predatory mites and mite pathogens are addressed.},
