Ornithonyssus sylviarum (also known as the northern fowl mite) is a haematophagous ectoparasite of poultry.[1] In both size and appearance, it resembles the red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae.[2]
This blood-feeding parasite is broadly distributed, and has been reported on 72 host species of North American birds in 26 families. The mites have been a major pest of the poultry industry since the early 1900s.[3][4]
