The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a parasite of layers in Europe. In order to improve our understanding of the host-searching behaviour of these mites their sensitivity to slowly increasing temperatures was studied under laboratory conditions. Temperatures increasing as slowly as 0.005 degrees C/s (over a one min period) were effective in activating the mites. The speed of the temperature change is more important than the temperature change itself for this activation process. This knowledge of the host-searching process could facilitate the development of new control strategies.
禽刺螨（Dermanyssus gallinae）是欧洲蛋鸡的一种寄生虫。为了更好地了解这些螨虫寻找宿主的行为，在实验室条件下研究了它们对缓慢升温的敏感性。以低至0.005摄氏度/秒的速度升温（在1分钟内）就能有效激活螨虫。对于这种激活过程，温度变化的速度比温度变化本身更重要。对寻找宿主过程的这一认识有助于开发新的控制策略。
