Control of Poultry Mites ( Dermanyssus )
Recent surveys and sample collection have conWrmed the endemicity of Dermanyssus gallinae in poultry farming worldwide. The reduction in number and eYcacy of many acaricide products has accentuated the prevalence rates of this poultry ectoparasite observed more often in non intensive systems such as free-range, barns or backyards and more often in laying hens than in broiler birds. The lack of ...
متن کاملSilicas for control of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae
Control of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae is a challenge for organic as well as conventional egg producers. In organic agriculture, control should be attempted by mechanically acting substances (e.g. oils or diatomaceous earth), before acaricides are applied. Diatomaceous earth (DE) without acaricides was at least as effective as DE supplemented with pyrethrum or essential oils and a...
متن کاملPoultry Mites
Aij^ CLASSES of poultry are subject to the attack of mites, some of which are bloodsuckers, while others burrow in the skin or live on or in the feathers and still others occur in the air passage and in the lungs, liver, and other internal organs. The total loss chargeable to poultry mites is large, since these parasites cause retarded growth, reduced egg production, poor condition, lowered vit...

متن کاملOpportunities for Integrated Pest Management to control the Poultry Red Mite, Dermanyssus gallinae
Dermanyssus gallinae is the most economically important ectoparasite of laying hens in Europe. Control of D. gallinae is already hampered by issues of pesticide resistance and product withdrawal and, with the prohibition of conventional cages in 2012 and the resulting switch to more structurally complex housing which favours red mite, the importance of managing this pest will increase. Integrat...
