Advances in Non-Chemical Tools to Control Poultry Hematophagous Mites
The blood-sucking mites <i>Dermanyssus gallinae</i> (“red mite”), <i>Ornithonyssus sylviarum</i> (“northern fowl mite”), and <i>Ornithonyssus bursa</i> (”tropical fowl mite”) stand out for causing infestations in commercial poultry farms worldwide, resulting in si...

| description | The blood-sucking mites <i>Dermanyssus gallinae</i> (“red mite”), <i>Ornithonyssus sylviarum</i> (“northern fowl mite”), and <i>Ornithonyssus bursa</i> (”tropical fowl mite”) stand out for causing infestations in commercial poultry farms worldwide, resulting in significant economic damage for producers. In addition to changes in production systems that include new concerns for animal welfare, global climate change in recent years has become a major challenge in the spread of ectoparasites around the world. This review includes information regarding the main form of controlling poultry mites through the use of commercially available chemicals. In addition, non-chemical measures against blood-sucking mites were discussed such as extracts and oils from plants and seeds, entomopathogenic fungi, semiochemicals, powder such as diatomaceous earth and silica-based products, and vaccine candidates. The control of poultry mites using chemical methods that are currently used to control or eliminate them are proving to be less effective as mites develop resistance. In contrast, the products based on plant oils and extracts, powders of plant origin, fungi, and new antigens aimed at developing transmission-blocking vaccines against poultry mites provide some encouraging options for the rational control of these ectoparasites. |
