The poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer, 1778): current situation and future prospects for control

C Chauve. Vet Parasitol. .

Abstract

The current importance of Dermanyssus gallinae, mainly in egg layer, in Europe is pointed out. The limits of conventional control methods are underlined (development of mite resistance--future insecticide legislation and animal welfare legislation). Alternative control methods such as feeding deterrents or biological control, are reviewed in the context of poultry pest management.
