Abstract: This study is based on results from a large project on the mite diversity in commercial laying hen systems in Brazil. It aims to identify potential biocontrol agents amongst mites present in poultry farms, with a focus on one feather mite pest Megninia ginglymura. A secondary goal is to provide an operational identification tool to help the development of biological control in poultry farms. Sampling was conducted from August 2013 to August 2014, with 43 sampling events, in three different laying hen managemen… Show more

“…The distinction between mite taxa was based on the binocular stereomicroscope morphospecies defined in Roy et al (2017) for sorting live mites. Astigmatic mites are ubiquitous microbivorous mites and are one of the most abundant taxa in poultry manure (Brady, 1970;Horn et al, 2018;Roy et al, 2017). In order to have a sufficient number of astigmatic mites for the experiment, a population of mites was extracted from the manure one month before the start of the experiment, kept pure and multiplied in the laboratory on yeast flakes.…”

“…Although this finding constitutes the second record in the country, it is expected to occur on other birds, considering the wide geographic distribution and host range of this mite (Mašán et al, 2014;Lareschi et al, 2017;Arce et al, 2018). Furthermore, this arthropod mostly inhabits the nests of birds and parasitizes chicks during rearing (Aramburú et al, 2003;Arrabal et al, 2012;Lareschi et al, 2017;Horn et al, 2018;Bassini-Silva et al, 2019), with lower prevalence over fledglings and adults (Arce et al, 2018;Mori et al, 2019). Keeping in mind that no chicks and nests were sampled, this biological trait would explain the low prevalence reported here (0.9%) when compared to that of other studies (~50%) (Arrabal et al, 2012;Santillán et al, 2015).…”

“…On the house sparrow, it has been found in Australia (Domrow, 1987), Brazil (Fonseca, 1948;Santos et al, 2020b), and North America (Fonseca, 1948). In spite of O. bursa being considered an important parasite of chickens in the Neotropics (Arrabal et al, 2012;Lareschi et al, 2017;Horn et al, 2018), there are no previous records on domestic fowl from Chile (Alcaíno & Gorman, 1999). However, it was recently recorded from the invasive monk parakeet in Central Chile (Briceño et al, 2021).…”

“…Recently, C. (H.) wellsi has been found on Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae) (Johann et al 2009;Da Silva et al 2020), on Malus domestica Borkh (Rosaceae) (personal communication), in ruber trees (Hernandes & Feres 2006), in bird nests (Silva et al 2018), in poultry systems (Horn et al 2018), and in natural environments of the Southern Pampa Biome (Toldi et al 2021). In this paper, we complement the description of C. (H.) wellsi, analyzing specimens collected in southern Brazil, presenting measurements of the structures that were not previously measured and described.…”
