“…Despite their potential benefits, these technologies have not yet been widely adopted in practical use due to various drawbacks. Biological control agents, such as predatory mites [58][59][60] and nematodes [61], are often expensive and have limited effectiveness in large-scale applications. Physical methods [62][63][64], such as high-temperature treatment and vacuum cleaning, are time-consuming and labor-intensive.…”

Dermanyssus gallinae, a parasitic mite that subsists on the avian blood of chickens, poses a considerable threat to the poultry industry. D. gallinae infestation can result in a plethora of detrimental effects for the host birds, including decreased egg production and anemia. Pyrethroid pesticides have been the primary means of combating this issue and have demonstrated high levels of efficacy. However, in recent years, D. gallinae has exhibited resistance to these chemicals, resulting in a marked decrease in their mortality; thus, an integrated control strategy in addition to the chemical use should be required for the sustainable control of this mite. This study confirms that D. gallinae can be effectively controlled through the utilization of high-voltage impulse discharges and that various electrical parameters possess optimal values that are required for mite control. The alterations in the body surface of the mite caused by high-voltage impulses were akin to those caused by heat, but no alteration in the elemental composition of the body surface was observed, suggesting a change in organization caused by currents flowing inside the exoskeleton. Comparatively, the mite control efficacy of high-voltage impulse was found to be substantially superior to that of ultraviolet light or ozone, with up to 95% more mites being killed in as little as 30 seconds.

“…We note that soil gamase mites participate in the establishment of ecological equilibrium in biocenoses, using soil herbivorous nematodes as prey. The mite G. aculeifer is bred on a large scale in the countries of Europe, Asia and North America for use in biological control of harmful twoflies, thrips and mites [19]. The author found that the mite Ph.…”

The results of research conducted in the period 2002–2004 and 2019–2022 on the study of the ecology of gamasid mites living on biocenoses of cotton, wheat and melons in the northern regions of Turkmenistan are presented. In particular, 10 species of gamasid mites were identified in the listed biocenoses, including 3 new species for the fauna of the country. According to the selectivity of ecological niches, the discovered mites are classified as eurybionts and geophyllobionts. The importance of predatory gamasid mites in biocenoses is shown in regulating the number of herbivorous mites. Some insects and nematodes, the role of gamasid mites as the main component in the biocenosis, which ensures the functioning of the predator-prey relationship, is proved. Laboratory observations revealed the specificity of the choice of prey by predatory mites in the species B. tarsalis, Ph. plumifer and N. bicaudus. The specifics of the choice of prey by the tick Ph. plumifer in the laboratory in the optimum temperature range of +20 – +25°C and a humidity degree of 40-65%. They actively bred on tea rose leaves when C. pulcher was used as a mite victim. The results of observations under a stereomicroscope on the study of the ethological characteristics of the predatory mite N. bicaudus during its attack on its prey in the leaves of an apple tree are also presented. Researches have revealed the specificity of the choice of the herbivorous mite Siteroptes tameri by the predatory mite N. bicaudus as a prey. The active role of the latter in the spread of spores of the fungus N. gossypii has also been proven. Field observations revealed that predatory mites G. aculeifer, B. tarsalis and N. bicaudus feed on herbivorous mites in biocenoses. For predators, specific types of prey have been established, related to spider mites, acaroid and eriophyid mites. The role of gamasid mites in establishing the ecological balance of herbivorous mites in biocenoses has been proved.

“…Aggregation pheromones gather all non-feeding male and female mites of different life phases in one place to aggregate them and save them from the harsh environment (Mul et al, 2015;Carr and Roe, 2016;Chiluwal et al, 2020;Rueda-Ramírez et al, 2023). There are two main causes of mites showing aggregation behavior.…”

Dermanyssus gallinae (Poultry red mite) is known to be the most dangerous ectoparasite of poultry. Specifically, it causes vascular damage, loss of blood, skin rashes in the host, and sometimes leads to death. D. gallinae has animal health and welfare issues but it mainly affects eggs-production industry. Global annual loss due to D. gallinae is 3.92 billion USD. Different chemical compounds and pesticides are used to control poultry red mites in poultry farms. However, the emergence of drug resistance against different chemical compounds and harmful drug residues in meat and eggs limit chemical control. In this scenario, there is a dire need to find alternatives to chemical control. This review mainly highlights the alternates of chemical control i.e. volatile compounds, pheromones, and kairomones. Pheromones and kairomones attract D. gallinae and hamper the parasite growth. While certain volatile compounds and plant extracts exert repellent effects on D. gallinae leading to decreased or no growth. Finally, effective treatments against D. gallinae are required to control infestation in poultry. In the future, different devices that have been tested on species of the Acari genus can be used to control poultry red mites.
