Ornithonyssus bursa, known as the "tropical fowl mite", is a hematophagous mite of domestic and wild birds, occasionally biting humans. Infestation on humans occurs mainly when the abandoned nests are close to homes, or by manipulation of infested birds by humans. In Brazil, this species occurs in the south and southeast of the country. In the present study we are reporting bites on humans, new localities records, host associations, and molecular information of O. bursa.
柏氏禽刺螨,又称“热带禽螨”,是一种寄生于家养和野生鸟类的吸血螨,偶尔也会叮咬人类。人类感染主要发生在废弃鸟巢靠近住所时,或人类接触受感染鸟类时。在巴西,该物种分布于该国南部和东南部。在本研究中,我们报告了柏氏禽刺螨对人类的叮咬、新的分布地点记录、宿主关联以及分子信息。
