“…D. gallinae locates its hosts using a combination of temperature stimuli, chemical signals, and responses to vibration and carbon dioxide (55, 56,128). Once on a host, mites feed for short periods of up to an hour, doing so every 2-4 days and typically (although not exclusively) during periods of darkness (79,93). Larvae do not feed, and though adult males may, they are thought to do so only intermittently (21).…”

“…Similarly, it may be possible to use specific wavelengths to target D. gallinae during normal dark periods without disrupting these periods for hens. Even if such measures could be implemented, evidence suggests that any effect of lighting regimen would weaken over time, with mites willing to feed under light conditions even when unforced (88,93). In addition, as studies are often conducted at a higher intensity of light than one would expect commercially, a reduced effect might be expected under conditions representative of poultry facilities.…”

The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, poses a significant threat to poultry production and hen health in many parts of the world. With D. gallinae increasingly suspected of being a disease vector, and reports indicating that attacks on alternative hosts, including humans, are becoming more common, the economic importance of this pest has increased greatly. As poultry production moves away from conventional cage systems in many parts of the world, D. gallinae is likely to become more abundant and difficult to control. Control remains dominated by the use of synthetic acaricides, although resistance and treatment failure are widely reported. Alternative control measures are emerging from research devoted to D. gallinae and its management. These alternative control measures are beginning to penetrate the market, although many remain at the precommercial stage. This review compiles the expanding body of research on D. gallinae and assesses options for its current and future control. We conclude that significant advances in D. gallinae control are most likely to come through an integrated approach adopting recent research into existing and novel control strategies; this is being combined with improved monitoring and modeling to better inform treatment interventions.

“…From these refugia D. gallinae locate their hosts using a combination of temperature stimuli, chemical signals and responses to vibration and carbon dioxide [ 27 - 30 ]. Once upon a host, mites feed for short periods of up to an hour, doing so every 2–4 days and typically (though not exclusively) during periods of darkness [ 31 , 32 ]. Larvae do not feed and though adult males may, they are thought to do so only intermittently [ 10 ].…”

Should the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae be of wider concern for veterinary and medical science?

The poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae is best known as a threat to the laying-hen industry; adversely affecting production and hen health and welfare throughout the globe, both directly and through its role as a disease vector. Nevertheless, D. gallinae is being increasingly implemented in dermatological complaints in non-avian hosts, suggesting that its significance may extend beyond poultry. The main objective of the current work was to review the potential of D. gallinae as a wider veterinary and medical threat. Results demonstrated that, as an avian mite, D. gallinae is unsurprisingly an occasional pest of pet birds. However, research also supports that these mites will feed from a range of other animals including: cats, dogs, rodents, rabbits, horses and man. We conclude that although reported cases of D. gallinae infesting mammals are relatively rare, when coupled with the reported genetic plasticity of this species and evidence of permanent infestations on non-avian hosts, potential for host-expansion may exist. The impact of, and mechanisms and risk factors for such expansion are discussed, and suggestions for further work made. Given the potential severity of any level of host-expansion in D. gallinae, we conclude that further research should be urgently conducted to confirm the full extent of the threat posed by D. gallinae to (non-avian) veterinary and medical sectors.

The incidence of the parasitism of chicken mites Dermanyssus gallinae parasitizing and propagating on chickens day and night was observed in a chicken farm. The incidence of the parasitism was induced by the artificial inoculation of protonymphs hatched from eggs of chicken mites parasitizing in the daytime on chickens.Furthermore, their life cycle was clarified.1. It was observed in a chicken farm that the parasitism of northern fowl mites occurred on chickens, subsequently northern fowl mites and chicken mites were found on the same chickens and finally the chickens were parasitized with chicken mites alone. Chicken mites parasitized and propagated on the chickens day and night without leaving the chickens before daybreak.2. The parasitism of chicken mites on chickens even in the daytime was established irrespective of the presence or absence of parasitic northern fowl mites when the protonymphs of chicken mites parasitizing in the daytime were inoculated artificially on chickens.The number of chicken mites parasitized on the chickens increased when the chickens were parasitized preliminarily with northern fowl mites.3. The life cycle of the chicken mites parasitizing and propagating on the chickens day and night was the same as that of common chicken mites which sucked blood from chickens at night and left them before daybreak.(Jpn. Poult. Sci., 34: 240-247, 1997) Keywords:parasitism, chicken mite, northern fowl mite, chicken mite parasitizing and propagating day and night, life cycle
