Cytodites nudusinfestation of chickens

Abstract: SUMMARYRespiratory disease in adult chickens of free range flocks was reported in Victoria, Australia. Affected birds had dyspnoea, gasping, coughing and lethargy. Post mortem lesions were granulomatous pneumonia and air sacculitis, with numerous Cytodites nudus mites in the air sacs and bronchial passages. A treatment trial indicated that the individual administration of malathion by aerosol could cause clinical remission and prevention of further cases. No effective method of demonstrating mites in live bird… Show more

“…Certain parasites can also cause respiratory disease in fowl, such as Syngamus trachea (commonly known as gapeworm), duck leeches (Theromyzon tessulatum), streptocariasis, (Streptocara spp), and air sac mites (Cytodites nudus). [71][72][73] If upper airways are affected, animals present gasping for air or open-mouth breathing, coughing, or retching. Diagnosis is based on identification of the parasites (adult forms, ova, or larvae).…”

“…O ácaro C. nudus infesta os sacos aéreos das aves, entretanto, também pode ser encontrado nos brônquios, nos pulmões e nos ossos pneumáticos (McORIST, 1983;AYROUD & DIES, 1992). Este parasita já foi descrito em frangos, perus, faisões, pombos e canários em diversos países (AYROUD E DIES, 1992;TORO et al, 1999).…”

“…Identificou-se C. nudus nos sacos aéreos e no muco traqueal por observação direta ao microscópio (Figura 1C), comparando-se a morfologia visualizada com aquela descrita na literatura (REIS & NÓBREGA, 1956;McORIST, 1983), que relata ácaros arredondados, com ventosas tarsais, garras reduzidas e patas curtas, medindo 0,4 a 0,5mm de diâmetro.…”
