The blood-sucking mites ("red mite"), ("northern fowl mite"), and ("tropical fowl mite") stand out for causing infestations in commercial poultry farms worldwide, resulting in significant economic damage for producers. In addition to changes in production systems that include new concerns for animal welfare, global climate change in recent years has become a major challenge in the spread of ectoparasites around the world. This review includes information regarding the main form of controlling poultry mites through the use of commercially available chemicals. In addition, non-chemical measures against blood-sucking mites were discussed such as extracts and oils from plants and seeds, entomopathogenic fungi, semiochemicals, powder such as diatomaceous earth and silica-based products, and vaccine candidates. The control of poultry mites using chemical methods that are currently used to control or eliminate them are proving to be less effective as mites develop resistance. In contrast, the products based on plant oils and extracts, powders of plant origin, fungi, and new antigens aimed at developing transmission-blocking vaccines against poultry mites provide some encouraging options for the rational control of these ectoparasites.
吸血螨（“红螨”）、（“北方禽螨”）和（“热带禽螨”）因在全球商业家禽养殖场造成侵扰而格外突出，给养殖户带来重大经济损失。除了生产系统的变化，其中包括对动物福利的新关注，近年来全球气候变化已成为体外寄生虫在全球传播的一大挑战。本综述涵盖了有关通过使用市售化学品控制家禽螨的主要方式的信息。此外，还讨论了针对吸血螨的非化学措施，例如植物和种子的提取物与油、昆虫病原真菌、信息素、硅藻土和硅基产品等粉末，以及候选疫苗。事实证明，目前用于控制或消灭家禽螨的化学方法随着螨产生抗药性而效果越来越差。相比之下，基于植物油和提取物、植物源粉末、真菌以及旨在开发抗家禽螨传播阻断疫苗的新抗原的产品，为合理控制这些体外寄生虫提供了一些令人鼓舞的选择。
