Cnemidocoptic Mite Infestations in Wild Birds

open access: yesBulletin of the Wildlife Disease Association, 1966
During 1965 many wild birds were examined for the lesions of “scaly leg” disease, caused by mites of the genus Cnemidocoptes. Mite infestation was found in redwinged blackbirds (Agelaius phocnicus), common grackles (Quiscalus versicolor), cowbirds (Molothrus ater) and in two new hosts for the mite, a black-capped chickadee (Parus atricapillus) and a ...
