From September 1978 through Februrary 1979, dispersal of uncontrolled, naturally occurring populations of the northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago), and the chicken body louse, Menacanthus stramineus (Nitzch) was studied on 30 strains of egg-type pullets reared to 20 weeks old on four growing rations before being housed for egg production. Hens representing all 30 strains and each of the four feeding regimens had mites. The northern fowl mite spread from initial infestations down the entire length of the house in 1 month; after four months, the chicken body louse had spread approximately two-thirds the length of a cage row in the house. Populations of the northern fowl mite increased from very light to extra heavy within 1 month and then began a slow decline.
从1978年9月到1979年2月,对30个蛋用型小母鸡品系进行了研究,这些小母鸡在四种生长日粮喂养下饲养至20周龄,然后进入产蛋舍,观察了北方禽螨(Ornithonyssus sylviarum,Canestrini和Fanzago)以及鸡体虱(Menacanthus stramineus,Nitzch)不受控制的自然发生种群的扩散情况。代表所有30个品系以及四种饲养方案中每种方案的母鸡都感染了螨虫。北方禽螨在1个月内从最初的感染点扩散到鸡舍的整个长度;四个月后,鸡体虱已经扩散到鸡舍中一排笼子长度的大约三分之二处。北方禽螨的种群数量在1个月内从非常少增加到极多,然后开始缓慢下降。
