i5K Comments for Dermanyssus gallinae
The poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae is a hematophagous mite frequently present in breeding facilities, but especially in laying hen facilities. This arthropod can be responsible for anemia, dermatitis, weight loss and a decrease in egg production. It is difficult to eradicate due to its particular biological characteristics in poultry farms; short life cycle, high resistance to starvation, numerous available hiding places and suspected resistance to pesticides. In addition to poultry species, this mite is able to parasitize a wide range of other birds and can also bite mammals such as horses, rodents and humans. This hematophagous ectoparasite is also involved in transmission of many pathogenic agents responsible for serious diseases in both animals and humans. Concerning the genetic material, we already have thousand of specimens in our lab from different place in france en europe, and are able to collect more using our network. Lionel Zenner
