Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2014 Global poultry production is plagued by a wide variety of arthropods. The problems associated with their chemical control have led to an increasing search for control alternatives, and entomopathogenic fungi seem to be a promising strategy.

Trophic structure in a seabird host-parasite food web: insights from stable isotope analyses [PDF]
, 2010 Ecological studies on food webs rarely include parasites, partly due to the complexity and dimensionality of host-parasite interaction networks. Multiple co-occurring parasites can show different feeding strategies and thus lead to complex and cryptic ...

Feather mites (Acari: Astigmata) of the Zoobotanical State Park in Teresina, Brazil
Acarologia, 2019 Feather mites are the most diverse avian ectoparasites. They mainly live on the plumage of birds, feeding on uropygial oil, and may occasionally cause skin irritation, especially on caged birds.

Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
, 2010 Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.

Ecological correlates of feather mite prevalence in passerines
Journal of Avian Biology, 2000 The relationship between host ecology and feather mite prevalence was analysed in birds. Feather mites are small arthropods (fam. Pterolichoidea and Analgoidea) commonly found on birds, although the nature of their interactions with the host (commensalism, mutualism or parasitism), still remains unclear.

Data from: DNA barcoding and minibarcoding as a powerful tool for feather mite studies [PDF]
, 2015 Feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) are among the most abundant and commonly occurring bird ectosymbionts. Basic questions on the ecology and evolution of feather mites remain unanswered because feather mite species identification is

Feather Mites Are Positively Associated with Daily Survival in Cliff Swallows [PDF]
, 2006 Feather mites (Acari: Astigmata) have been reported to be parasitic, commensal, and even mutualis-tic on the birds that serve as their hosts. We investigated whether there was a relationship between number of feather mites (Pteronyssoides obscurus ...

Different Scales of Spatial Segregation of Two Species of Feather Mites on the Wings of a Passerine Bird [PDF]
The ''condition-specific competition hypothesis'' proposes that coexistence of 2 species is possible when spatial or temporal variations in environmental conditions exist and each species responds differently to those conditions.
