The treatment of gamasoidosis is further complicated by pesticide resistance among avian mites and their diverse ecological behaviors, which require tailored treatment strategies. [10] Employing a variety of techniques, following a Integrated Pest Management approach, can reduce the likelihood of major re-infestations and limit the development ...
