“…The prevalence rate of PRM in Asia was similar to that in Europe (1) and Africa (39)(40)(41)(42). Although some studies reported a low prevalence of PRM and other mite species, it should be noted that these studies lacked random sampling and were largely limited to a few farms, which may not be representative of the countrywide situation.…”

The ubiquitous presence of hematophagous avian mites threatens the poultry industry in Asia and worldwide, adversely affecting the quality and quantity of eggs and poultry meat produced by affected flocks. This leads to considerable economic loss and welfare-related issues. The role of these blood-feeding arthropods as disease vectors is increasingly recognized as they may carry important zoonotic and epizootic pathogens. The poultry mites, Dermanyssus gallinae (Poultry Red Mite-PRM), Ornithonysus sylviarum (Northern Fowl Mite-NFM), and Ornithonyssus bursa (Tropical Fowl Mite-TFM) are endemic species across the Asian continent. In less frequency, scaly leg mite, depluming mite, and fowl cyst mite were documented. Considering global climate change and the popularity of backyard farming, the incidence of avian mite infestation is expected to increase as Asian production expands. The TFM may start to colonize subtropical nations where the seasonal temperature is comparable to tropical regions. Pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates, and macrocyclic lactones are licensed acaricides for use in China, Japan, and India. In recent years, the development of acaricide resistance has compromised the efficacy of chemical control measures. Several botanical acaricides based on plant and fungal constituents are being investigated. Judicious integration of multiple approaches to manage poultry mite infestation is advised. In this article, we review the prevalence, geographical distribution, zoonotic potential, and control measures of avian mites in poultry farms in Asia.

Cross-sectional seasonal prevalence and relative risk of ectoparasitic infestations of rodents in North Sinai, Egypt

et al. 2021

Background and Aim: Rodents are ubiquitous animals that host ectoparasites and transmit zoonotic diseases. We conducted a cross-sectional study on the seasonal variation, period prevalence (Pp), and relative risk of ectoparasitic infestations in rodents collected in North Sinai, Egypt, from September 2019 to August 2020. Materials and Methods: We captured 380 rodents during the study period. Rodents were euthanized to perform species identification, and 2930 external parasites were collected and identified using light microscopic examination with systemic keys depending on morphological characters. Results: Rattus norvegicus (brown rat), Rattus rattus frugivorus (white-bellied rat), Rattus rattus alexandrines (gray-bellied rat), and Mus musculus domesticus (house mouse) were captured at the highest frequencies during summer (n=186), followed by spring (n=84), fall (n=71), and winter (n=39), with a higher proportion of males captured in all seasons. Analysis of the infestation Pp revealed highly significant increases (p<0.01) in ectoparasites during the winter. Temperature, humidity, and dew point were significantly (p<0.01) correlated with the numbers of captured and infested rodents. Parasitological examinations showed the higher risks of flea (Echidnophaga gallinacea, Xenopsylla cheopis, and Leptopsylla segnis) and lice (Hoplopleura hirsuta, Hoplopleura ocanthopus, Hoplopleura oenomydis, and Polyplax spinulosa) infestations during winter and mite (Laelaps nuttalli, Dermanyssus gallinae, Ornithonyssus bacoti, and Myobia musculi) infestations during summer. Conclusion: We conclude that ectoparasitic infestation prevalence and risk varies with predominating macroclimatic conditions. Strict preventive and biosecurity measures should be applied to combat rodent-related problems.

“…Thus, it is important to study the ectoparasitic mite fauna associated with birds to control these mites that greatly impact our communities. In Egypt, acaricides are frequently used to control the poultry red mite D. gallinae, being the most common parasitic mite that attacks laying hen farms (Eladl et al, 2017). However, acaricide products have shown some limitations because of resistance development in mites.…”

Birds are attacked by a remarkable diversity of ectoparasites, mostly arthropods. After lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera), the richest group is mites (Arachnida: Acari). Several mite families, with about 2500 species (Proctor and Owens, 2000), live in close association with birds being less harmful, such as feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea, Pterolichoidea), or severe blood feeders (Dermanyssidae and Macronyssidae). The existence and feeding of parasitic mites may cause some pathological effects like irritation, anemia, allergy, transmission of pathogens, and death as well (Chirico et al., 2003). While surveying parasitic mites associated with Egyptian birds, we recognized the need for taxonomical and ecological information that could be useful for bird biologists, veterinarians, and ornithologists interested in studying bird-associated mites. Faunistic studies about mites of birds in Egypt are limited. First reports of mites from Egyptian birds were published by Wafa and Soliman (1968) for Prostigmata (Cheyletidae), by Rakha (1980) for Astigmata, and by Zaher (1986) for mites of various orders.
