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 ...
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 bacoti (Hirst, 1913) commonly known as the tropical rat mite. A frequently occurring rat mite [2] that has a painful bite. Ornithonyssus benoiti Till, 1982; Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese, 1888) commonly known as the tropical fowl mite.

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.
The individual mites remain external to the epidermis within the follicle, but appear to be within the skin because they are below the general outer surface of the host. The mite Demodex canis is a common cause of demodicosis in dogs. Demodex mites are microscopic, cigar-shaped and have very short legs. These mites seem to feed on epidermal cells.

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.
