: The mites (<i>P. fimetorum</i>) used in this study are invertebrates and, therefore, have not been subjected to animal ethics review. The study was conducted in a manner that avoided or minimized discomfort or distress to the laboratory animals, and efforts were made to ensure that the animals did not suffer unnecessarily at any stage of the experiment. The laboratory population of <i>P. fimetorum</i> used in this study have maintained at Kagawa University. This population has been maintained on the artificial medium in which nematodes as their natural prey reproduce. We reared this population at 25 °C, which is comfortable condition for this mite. All animals in the study were handled carefully.
