Figure 1. Macroscopic and microscopic lesions on the pericarps of healthy Tahiti lime fruits affected by phytophagous mites. A–C. Healthy fruit and tissue. A. Pericarp surface; B. Pericarp surface viewed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Stomata can be observed; C. Cross section of the pericarp, showing the exocarp (Safranina- Alcian blue). D–F. Fruit and tissues affected by Polyphagotarsonemus latus. D. Lesions on the pericarp; E. Detail of the lesions on the pericarp surface (white arrow) (SEM); F. Cross section of the pericarp, showing the lesion affecting the exocarp and the formation of the peridermis (Safranin-Alcian blue). G–I. Fruit and tissues affected by Phyllocoptruta oleivora. G. Lesions on the pericarp; H. Detail of the lesions on the pericarp surface (white arrow) (SEM); I. Cross section of the pericarp, showing the lesion affecting the exocarp and the formation of peridermis and melanin deposits (Safranin-Alcian blue); J–L. Fruit and tissues affected by Schizotetranychus hindustanicus. J. Lesions on the pericarp. Mites nests (white arrows) can be observed; K. Mites nests in SEM (white arrow). Spider web of nest formation can be clearly seen; L. Cross section of the pericarp, showing the lesion affecting the exocarpal layers (white arrow) (Safranin-Alcian blue).
