The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a global pest of free-living and farmed birds. As a blood-feeding ectoparasite, it particularly affects the welfare of farmed egg-laying hens. Under optimal conditions, especially in the summer, the life cycle of the parasites can be completed within a week, resulting in their population surges. Heavily infested farms display decreased egg production and economic losses for the poultry industry. The ability of mites to survive for extended periods outside of the host is a major challenge in controlling efforts in poultry houses. Integrated Pest Management strategies are deployed as countermeasures to curb the population of mites. Besides farmed poultry, D. gallinae is also a significant nuisance to pet birds, especially parrots and pigeons. In addition to its impact on avian health, this mite is a public health concern due to its role as a vector of pathogens, and its medical impact (gamasoidosis, also known as dermanyssosis) on humans.
