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.
Species implicated include the red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae), [15] tropical fowl mite (Ornithonyssus bursa) [7] and northern fowl mite (Ornithonyssus sylviarum). [15] These mites typically infest birds such as canaries , [ 16 ] sparrows , starlings , pigeons , [ 17 ] and poultry .
Originally a parasite centered on the nest of its host, this species has become a major pest in commercial poultry houses. A similar genus is Ornithonyssus; O.bursa, the tropical fowl mite, and O.sylvarium the northern fowl mite cause similar problems in poultry production.
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.
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.
