“…The taxonomy of species within the genus was not clearly defined, until now [211]. Dermanyssus gallinae (poultry red mite) is very common in layer houses and is considered as the most damaging to laying hens worldwide [212]. The mite belongs to order Mesostigmata and mainly live at all stages in the environment, in cracks or crevices near the hosts' resting sites, feeding intermittently (every 2-4 days) for short periods (up to 1 h) on the birds during the dark hours [213][214][215].…”

The present study aimed to review the papers dealing with the biological activity of fungi and bacteria against some mites and ticks of veterinary interest. In particular, the attention was turned to the research regarding acarid species, Dermanyssus gallinae and Psoroptes sp., which are the cause of severe threat in farm animals and, regarding ticks, also pets. Their impact on animal and human health has been stressed, examining the weaknesses and strengths of conventional treatments. Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae are the most widely employed agents. Their activities have been reviewed, considering the feasibility of an in-field application and the effectiveness of the administration alone or combined with conventional and alternative drugs is reported.

“…Особую категорию стресс-факторов составляют биологические [1]. Так, например, паразитарные агенты являются одной из ключевых проблем, которые сопровождают птицу в промышленном секторе [2,4,5]. Особую угрозу для птицеводческой отрасли несет красный куриный клещ Dermanyssus gallinae, который вызывает у птиц токсический и анемический синдромы, истощение, зуд, потерю оперения, снижение продуктивности [4].…”

The paper discusses physiological and biochemical aspects of relations in the "parasite-host" system by the example of market Hy-Line laying hens and Dermanyssus gallinae. The hens of the experimental group were kept in a poultry house with a degree of D. gallinae infection at "+++"; this condition was considered as a stress factor for the birds. The control group had no parasitic agents. Blood was taken from 10 randomly selected birds from the experimental and control groups to determine physiological, biochemical and morphophysiological parameters. The complex of parameters was analyzed for carbohydrate-energy, protein and lipid metabolisms. The nature of metabolic processes in laying hens in dermanyssosis was assessed. The endocrine system supply of the hen’s organism with stress-associated hormones, in particular cortisol and triiodothyronine, was studied. The paper presents the results of molecular consequences of a stress reaction developed in hens in dermanyssosis. Stress in birds was accompanied by excessively activated lipid peroxidation, and a decrease in antioxidant defense. The trend to an increase in the content of Schiff’s bases, the end products of lipid peroxidation in the experimental hens, allows us to note the chronicity of stress reaction, which causes derangement of metabolism in hens in dermanyssosis. The third stage of stress reaction, the stage of exhaustion, was diagnosed in laying hens in dermanyssosis.

“…The third level of impact of a PRM infestation is impaired on poultry husbandries where high degrees of infection are related to a serious economic harm (Flochlay et al 2017 ). These can occur in form of production losses, treatment costs subsequent to the infestation, through increased mortality, decreased laying performance, reduced egg weight and quality (Flochlay et al 2017 ; Sparagano 2020 ). PRM control often relies on chemical acaricides (Beugnet et al 1997 ).…”

“…Thus, alternative control methods are needed, especially after the fipronil scandal in Europe in 2017 (Alves et al 2020 ), which, among others, result in a higher awareness-level of consumers, concerning applied chemical remedies in the food industry. Besides chemical agents, there are many other different control methods, including biological and physical measures (Maurer et al 2009 ; Sparagano et al 2014 ; Sparagano 2020 ). Nevertheless, Flochlay et al ( 2017 ) draw attention to the urgent need for an effective and sustainable method to control PRM.…”

In the present study, the acaricidal effects of cold atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on poultry red mites of different developmental stages have been investigated under laboratory conditions using a dielectric barrier discharge system. A total of 1890 poultry red mites and 90 mite eggs, respectively, were exposed to the plasma under various parameter settings with a single plasma pulse generated using the gas mixture of the ambient air at atmospheric pressure. The results showed that all developmental stages of the poultry red mite could be killed by cold atmospheric pressure plasma treatment. Plasma exposure to mite eggs resulted in a complete 100% hatch inhibition regardless of the parameter settings. Post-exposure mortality rates of larvae, nymphs and adults showed significant differences after utilization of plasma at 10 W for 1.0 s. In addition, the mortality rate increased with progressing time after plasma exposure. An average mortality rate of 99.7% was observed after 12 h in all mites exposed to plasma, regardless of the selected plasma parameter, developmental stage, and nutritional status of the mites. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma has an acaricidal effect on all developmental stages of Dermanyssus gallinae, suggesting that it could be developed to an effective method for the control of poultry red mites in laying hen husbandry.
