Since treatment for Varroa destructor started using vapours rather than
contact poisons, Acarinapis woodii which live within the trachea have been
exposed to the treatment. As the treatment are acaricides the tracheal mites
are also killed.

Nowadays the mite Acarapis woodii is very rarely mentioned. Why?
Has it been seen off by the chemicals used against Varroa ?
