Overview
- The first time that so many scientists working on Dermanyssus gallinae are confronting their results under field conditions or in laboratories to summarise what has been done in as many countries
- Research papers focus on biocontrol methods using plants, dust, predators, fungi or vaccines while other contributions will analyse the genetic diversity of poultry mite populations and its susceptibility/resistance to existing acaricides
- Some papers are focusing on a more preventative approach using the HACCP method to monitor and manage this pest on poultry farms

About this book
This book summarises worldwide research activities at laboratory and farm levels to control the poultry red mites. 43 experts from 11 countries have been drawn into to present new control methods based on plants, predators or vaccine developments alongside updated chemical, physical and managerial approaches to tackle this ubiquitous ectoparasite which is responsible for economic costs for the poultry industry and for human health-related problems. Genetic and metabolomic diversity within the mite populations highlight the needs for an integrated approach for the poultry industry. Readers will understand the state-of-art in new research lines which could bring this worldwide and emerging ectoparasite under control.
