The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, has been described for decades as a threat to the egg production industry, posing serious animal health and welfare concerns, adversely affecting productivity, and impacting public health. Research activities dedicated to controlling this parasite have increased significantly. Their veterinary and human medical impact, more particularly their role as a disease vector, is better understood. Nevertheless, red mite infestation remains a serious concern, particularly in Europe, where the prevalence of red mites is expected to increase, as a result of recent hen husbandry legislation changes, increased acaricide resistance, climate warming, and the lack of a sustainable approach to control infestations. The main objective of the current work was to review the factors contributing to this growing threat and to discuss their recent development in Europe. We conclude that effective and sustainable treatment approach to control poultry red mite infestation is urgently required, included integrated pest management.
家禽红螨（Dermanyssus gallinae）几十年来一直被视为对蛋鸡产业的一种威胁，引发了严重的动物健康和福利问题，对生产力产生不利影响，并影响公共卫生。致力于控制这种寄生虫的研究活动显著增加。人们对其在兽医和人类医学方面的影响，尤其是其作为疾病传播媒介的作用，有了更好的理解。然而，红螨侵扰仍然是一个严重问题，特别是在欧洲，由于近期母鸡饲养立法的变化、杀螨剂抗性增加、气候变暖以及缺乏控制侵扰的可持续方法，预计红螨的发生率将会上升。当前这项工作的主要目的是回顾导致这一日益严重威胁的因素，并讨论其在欧洲的最新发展情况。我们得出结论，迫切需要有效的可持续治疗方法来控制家禽红螨侵扰，包括综合虫害管理。
