1. The effect of infections with Dermanyssus gallinae (poultry red mite or chicken mite) and Ascaridia galli (roundworm) on the behaviour and health of laying hens was investigated. 2. Six groups of 15 pullets (Isa Brown) were kept in indoor pens from 18 weeks of age. Two groups were artificially infected with D. gallinae, two groups with A. galli and two groups were kept as uninfected controls. The hens were observed for behavioural reactions and physiological changes (weight gain and various…

Influence of Ascaridia galli infections and anthelmintic treatments on the behaviour and social ranks of laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus).
Assessment of fluralaner as a treatment in controlling Dermanyssus gallinae infestation on commercial layer farms and the potential for resulting benefits of improved bird welfare and productivity
TLDR
Fluralaner treatment eliminated mite challenge, leading to improved hen welfare and health, based on reductions in stress-related behaviours and restoration of the anaemia-inducing effects of mite blood feeding.
Survey on the prevalence of Dermanyssus gallinae in commercial laying farms in Portugal
TLDR
Results from the questionnaire show that insufficient monitoring, under-detection and late and suboptimal treatment may contribute to the maintenance of significant infestation levels and highlight the need for adequate monitoring and treatment optimization of D. gallinae.
Dermanyssus gallinae still poses a serious threat for the rearing of laying hens
TLDR
One of the actions which should be jointly implemented by specialists from various fields is the construction of sheds to hinder the settlement of the parasite and to facilitate its liquidation.
The influence of non-starch-polysaccharides on experimental infections with Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum in layer chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)
TLDR
In contrast to highly invasive intestinal nematodes, both parasites did not induce any systemic effects on spleen lymphocyte populations, which suggests that the immune response following A. galli and H. gallinarum infection is primary localized in the gut.
Reduction in Oviposition of Poultry Red Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) in Hens Vaccinated with Recombinant Akirin
TLDR
The results demonstrated the efficacy of the vaccination with Deg-AKR for the control of PRM by reducing mite oviposition by 42% following feeding on vaccinated hens and a negative correlation between the levels of serum anti-Deg- AKR IgY and mite Oviposition was obtained.
The acaricidal speed of kill of orally administered fluralaner against poultry red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) on laying hens and its impact on mite reproduction
TLDR
The demonstrated rapid speed of kill results in substantial depletion of the mites’ oviposition and suggests that fluralaner can be an effective tool in the control of D. gallinae, one of the most urgent problems in poultry farms.
Histopathological study of the mite biting (Dermanyssus gallinae) in poultry skin
TLDR
Findings reveal that mite biting induces local epidermal hyperplasia and is a prominent pathologic feature ensued due to vascular disturbances and resulted in loss of feather.
Control of Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer 1778) and other mites with volatile organic compounds, a review
TLDR
Pheromones and kairomones promoting attraction behaviour in D. gallinae and other mite species are presented, while VOCs from essential oils and plant extracts with repellent properties are explored.
The efficacy of flubendazole against different developmental stages of the poultry roundworm Ascaridia galli in laying hens.

Observations on the pathogenicity and pathology of Ascaridia galli.
TLDR
It was concluded that under the levels of inoculation employed during the study there were no significant effects of A. galli infections on blood protein values as well as p.c.v. and Hb.
Prevalence of the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, in different types of production systems for egg layers in Sweden.
TLDR
This study was undertaken between May and December 1994 to investigate the prevalence of hematophagous mites in Sweden and found the only mite species found was the red poultry mite, Dermanyssus gallinae.
The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, a potential vector of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae causing erysipelas in hens
TLDR
Findings imply that D. gallinae is a potential vector of E. rhusiopathiae and causes reoccurring mite problems in poultry facilities once afflicted by this parasite, allowing it to persist in the poultry house between flock cycles as a source of infection for the replacement pullets.
Ascaridia galli populations in chickens following single infections with different dose levels
TLDR
It is demonstrated that single infections with varying doses of A. galli eggs influenced the establishment rate, sex ratio, egg excretion, and worm size and weight but not the worm fecundity.
Prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in different poultry production systems.
TLDR
The results confirm the higher risk of helminth infections in free-range and backyard systems but prevalence may also be high in deep litter systems.
Mechanical transmission of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus by hematophagous mites (Acari).
TLDR
Studies were undertaken to determine whether two species of hematophagous mites could transmit Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus to suckling mice, and biological transmission of VEE virus was not demonstrated in either species of mite.
Temperature influence on life table statistics of the chicken miteDermanyssus gallinae (Acari: Dermanyssidae)
TLDR
An age-specific life table for the chicken miteDermanyssus gallinae (DeGeer, 1778) was based on various observations carried out at 25°C, and a nonlinear function was found satisfactory to describe the developmental rate of the different immature lifestages at temperatures below 40°C.
The Morphology and Life History of the Fowl Nematode Ascaridia lineata (Schneider)
TLDR
Study of the morphology of 220 mature male and female Ascaridia lineata from chickens at Manhattan, Kansas, U.S.A., and Cambridge, England found a small structure in one pole of the mature egg was found to be a solid, conical appendage of the vitelline membrane, free from the shell.
The effect of louse infestation, wet feathers, and relative humidity on the grooming behavior of the domestic chicken.
TLDR
The amount of grooming of chickens infested with Menacanthus stramineus was significantly different from that of non-infested chickens as demonstrated by the Mann-Whitney U test.
