Aceria tosichella

Aceria tosichella
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Division:	Arthropoda
Class:	Arachnida
Order:	Prostigmata[1]
Family:	Eriophyidae[2]
Genus:	Aceria
Species:	tosichella

Aceria tosichella, commonly known as the wheat curl mite (WCM),^[3][4] is a global cereal pest^[5] and a vector for spreading and transmission of viruses like wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV)^[6][7] and wheat mosaic virus (WMoV)^[8][9]

Distribution

The distribution of this eriophyid mite is observed mostly in the wheat producing areas of Europe, North and South America^{[10][11][12][13]}
