The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a worldwide threat to egg production and animal and human welfare. This mite is also a potential vector for several significant diseases. EU regulation that forbids the use of conventional cages for egg-laying hens may favour the growth of D. gallinae, a species known to thrive in more complex housing systems. Current control measures emphasize the use of chemical acaricides, which may have limited efficacy on D. gallinae considering its temporary blood-feeding behaviour. In integrated pest management (IPM), two or more compatible measures targeting physical, environmental, and/or biological aspects could be judiciously combined to enhance the effectiveness against D. gallinae infestation. To inform current and future IPM for D. gallinae, a compatibility matrix is proposed to guide the selection of control measures for field application.

家禽红螨Dermanyssus gallinae对鸡蛋生产以及动物和人类的福祉构成了全球性威胁。这种螨也是几种重大疾病的潜在病媒。欧盟法规禁止将常规笼子用于产蛋母鸡，这可能会有利于D. gallinae的生长，而D. gallinae是已知在更复杂的住房系统中繁盛的物种。当前的控制措施强调使用化学杀螨剂，考虑到其暂时的采血行为，其对D. gallinae的功效可能有限。在有害生物综合治理（IPM）中，可以明智地将针对物理，环境和/或生物学方面的两个或多个兼容措施结合起来，以增强针对D. gallinae的效力。侵扰。为了告知当前和将来的D. gallinae IPM，提出了一个兼容性矩阵来指导现场应用控制措施的选择。
