“…In Egypt, a report showed similar attacks on farm workers from Ornithonyssus mites (Mazyad and Abel El-Kadi 2005) while it was with D. gallinae in Israeli poultry workers (Rosen et al 2002). As D. gallinae is also feeding on synantropic birds, including pigeons and sparrows, more cases have recently been published on human attacks due to bird nests found in close proximity to private households (Rosen et al 2002;CaWero et al 2008), hospitals (Sexton and Barton 1975;Auger et al 1979;Regan et al 1987;Bellanger et al 2008) or oYces (CaWero et al 2007). Furthermore, the red mite can feed also on the wild birds (KristoWk et al 1996) or on other animals (Ramsay et al 1975;DeClercq and Nachtegaele 1993;Mignon and Losson 2008).…”

Recent surveys and sample collection have conWrmed the endemicity of Dermanyssus gallinae in poultry farming worldwide. The reduction in number and eYcacy of many acaricide products has accentuated the prevalence rates of this poultry ectoparasite observed more often in non intensive systems such as free-range, barns or backyards and more often in laying hens than in broiler birds. The lack of knowledge from producers and the utilisation of inadequate, ineVective or illegal chemicals in many countries have been responsible for the increase in infestation rates due to the spread of acaricide resistance. The costs for control methods and treatment are showing the tremendous economic impact of this ectoparasite on poultry meat and egg industries. This paper reviews the prevalence 1 C rates of this poultry pest in diVerent countries and for diVerent farming systems and the production parameters which could be linked to this pest proliferation.

“…Human cases have been also registered in Italy (Pampiglione et al 2001) and several Red Mite Dermatitis (RMD) cases have been recently documented in city-dwellers in some Italian regions (Cafiero et al 2007(Cafiero et al , 2008b as well as in other countries (Green et al 2007;Bellanger et al 2008;Sahibi et al 2008) and also on other animals (Ramsay et al 1975;DeClercq and Nachtegaele 1993;Mignon and Losson 2008). Dermanyssus gallinae causes irritation, anaemia, and in some cases even death, and may result in bloodstained eggs and weight losses.…”

Red mite field populations from seven naturally infested Italian caged laying poultry farms were investigated for their susceptibility to acaricide formulations available on the market, containing amitraz, carbaryl and permethrin. A minimum of 3,000 mites of all stages were collected from each farm and were tested with five acaricide concentrations (5, 10, 20, 50, 100%) plus an untreated control (0%). Field red mite populations were found to be tolerant even with the highest concentrations with carbaryl and permethrin for six (86%) and three (42%) of the investigated farms, respectively (P < 0.05). Furthermore, six (86%) of the investigated farms showed a red mite population susceptible to amitraz at any concentration. Out of the seven field populations tested with amitraz, one population is becoming less tolerant whereas another was the most tolerant to carbaryl and permethrin at any concentration. Data show that the lack of effectiveness of some acaricides is spreading in Europe and call for the adoption of alternative management strategies to avoid development of resistance.
