Ornithonyssus sylviarum (also known as the northern fowl mite) is a haematophagous ectoparasite of poultry. [1] In both size and appearance, it resembles the red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae . [ 2 ] They primarily infect egg laying chickens.
Gamasoidosis occurs after human contact with blood-feeding gamasid avian mites of the genera of Ornithonyssus (Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae) and Dermanyssus (Mesostigmata: Dermanyssidae). [14] Species implicated include the red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae), [15] tropical fowl mite (Ornithonyssus bursa) [7] and northern fowl mite (Ornithonyssus ...

Ornithonyssus benoiti Till, 1982; Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese, 1888) commonly known as the tropical fowl mite.

Dermanyssus gallinae (also known as the red mite) is a haematophagous ectoparasite of poultry.It has been implicated as a vector of several major pathogenic diseases. [1] [2] Despite its common names, it has a wide range of hosts including several species of wild birds and mammals, including humans, where the condition it causes is called gamasoidosis.
Ornithonyssus bursa (also known as the tropical fowl mite) is a species of mite. [1] [2] [3] It is most often a parasite of birds, but also has been found to bite humans and two species of mammals. [4] It usually lives in birds' feathers, but for laying its eggs, it more often uses their nests rather than their feathers.
These mites remain external to the true outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) which also lines the tube of the hair follicle. However, the mites appear to be deep within the skin in the sense of being below the general outer surface of the host. The mites fit in the narrow space between the hair and the tube of the follicle.
Many factors must be considered in successful litter management including time of the year, depth of the litter, floor space per bird, feeding practices, disease, the kind of floor, ventilation, watering devices, litter amendments, and even the potential fertilizer value of the litter after it is removed from the house.
