Abstract: Given that 14 out of the 25 currently described species of Dermanyssus Dugès, 1834, are morphologically very close to each another, misidentifications may occur and are suspected in at least some records. One of these 14 species is the red fowl mite, D. gallinae (De Geer, 1778), a blood parasite of wild birds, but also a pest in the poultry industry. Using molecular phylogenetic tools we aimed to answer two questions concerning host specificity and synanthropicity: (1) is D. gallinae the only species infesting… Show more

“…Some species that had previously been considered to have a very broad host range turned out to be more specific than thought, likely due to previous misidentifications [10]. Roy et al [10,11] highlighted an opposition between two main clades, which seemed to be correlated with the level of host specificity. On one hand, there was the D. gallinae clade with generalist species (nine different bird orders), including diverse lineages, of which some may by potentially cryptic species.…”

“…On one hand, there was the D. gallinae clade with generalist species (nine different bird orders), including diverse lineages, of which some may by potentially cryptic species. On the second hand there was a clade of four specialist species ( D. hirundinis , Passeriform hosts, a single bird family in France, D. longipes , Passeriform hosts, 2 bird families, D. carpathicus , id., and D. apodis , Apodiform host, a single bird genus) [10]. Moreover, D. gallinae is the only synanthropic species (encountered in bird farms).…”

“…Based on a recent inquiry among farmers, the total costs from damage and control measures to the whole egg industry in The Netherlands are estimated to be 11 million Euros per year (Emous et al 2005). This underestimates real costs because poultry red mites may vector disease agents of poultry (Valiente Moro et al 2005, 2007 and they are a source of allergens causing dermatological problems to farmers and veterinarians (Rosen et al 2002;Beck 1999).…”
