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.
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.

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

Mites that infest and parasitize domestic animals cause disease and loss of production. Mites are small invertebrates, most of which are free living but some are parasitic. Mites are similar to ticks and both comprise the order Acari in the phylum Arthropoda. Mites are highly varied and their classification is complex; a simple grouping is used ...
The life cycle of the mite is an important method of diagnosis. [10] Avian mites, like D. gallinae , are temporary parasites that hide in dark spaces during the day. Their life cycle, from egg to adult, can be completed in seven days in warm conditions. [ 14 ]
Mites are small crawling animals related to ticks and spiders.Most mites are free-living and harmless. Other mites are parasitic, and those that infest livestock animals cause many diseases that are widespread, reduce production and profit for farmers, and are expensive to control.
Mesostigmata is an order of mites belonging to the Parasitiformes.They are by far the largest group of Parasitiformes, with over 8,000 species in 130 families. Mesostigmata includes parasitic as well as free-living and predatory forms.
