Beak condition and cage density determine abundance and spatial distribution of northern fowl mites, Ornithonyssus sylviarum, and chicken body lice, Menacanthus stramineus, on caged laying hens.
Adult White Leghorn hens (Hy-Line strain W-36) were inoculated with either northern fowl mites or chicken body lice, and the ectoparasite populations were monitored over periods of 9 to 16 wk. Two beak conditions (beak trimmed or beak intact) and 2 housing densities (1 or 2 hens per 25 × 31 cm suspended wire cage) were tested. Populations of both ectoparasites were at least 10 times lower on be...
متن کاملAcaricide resistance in northern fowl mite (Ornithonyssus sylviarum) populations on caged layer operations in Southern California.
Southern California caged layer operations were visited over 3 yr. Northern fowl mites from 26 field populations were tested for acaricide resistance using a capillary pipette and glass dish bioassay. One was a susceptible field population with no pesticide exposure for over 30 yr (reference site for resistance ratio calculation). Technical and commercial formulations of malathion, carbaryl (Se...
متن کاملActivity of selected anticoccidials as feed additives for control of the northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago).
Three levels (high, low and control) of northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago), were maintained on White Leghorn hens for 24 weeks. The hens were then treated with carbaryl to eradicate the mites, were induced to molt, and were reinfested with mites 9 weeks later. Subsequent levels of mites on the three groups showed that the degree of acquired immunity was related...
متن کاملDetection of fowl mites inside two hospital rooms.
Many mites were found on bookshelves near the windows in 2 rooms of the Department of Pediatrics on the 4th floor in the Tokai University Hospital. Fortunately, nobody reported being bitten by, or experiencing itching due to, the mites. The arthropods were tentatively identified as adults of the northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini et Frazago, 1877), commonly called "Torisash...
