“True ignorance is not simply a lack of ‘knowing’ something…but the reluctance for ‘learning’ anything.”

D. Gallinae Documented With Human Blood A research article published in 1958 which documented human blood was found inside the gut of the bird mite D. Gallinae, confirming human parasitosis from this bird mite. (Only the abstract summary is available.)

Human Health Risks Associated With D. Gallinae Comprehensive medical research journal article that examined both the person and the offending mites (D. Gallinae), which had ingested human blood. Tools included DNA, PCR, and IgE testing of blood samples from the individual and also the mites. Excerpts: “Depending on its plasticity, D. Gallinae can feed on non-avian hosts, such as mammal pets, horses, goats, and humans…it is not surprising that patients suffering from gamasoidosis caused by D. Gallinae were previously misdiagnosed as delusional parasitosis…the patient with clinical manifestations of gamasoidosis had significantly higher levels of anti-D. Gallinae IgE ”.

D. Gallinae And Medical Science An important medical journal article which documents how this mite can adapt and switch hosts in order to survive due to genetic plasticity; impacting many different mammals, including humans. Also, it is implicated in the transmission of various pathogens, such as Lyme disease. Excerpt: “The potential medical significance of D. Gallinae is exacerbated by the fact that these mites can carry and transmit zoonotic diseases of both bacterial and viral origin”.

Dermanyssosis from D. Gallinae Comprehensive European medical journal article describing the far ranging affect of D. Gallinae in the human environment. Excerpts: “When bird hosts are not available, mites search for alternative hosts and may migrate into nearby homes, where they bite humans…The problem is compounded by misdiagnoses and by the lack of diagnostic tools”.

D. Gallinae Dermanyssosis Medical journal article describing the difficulty for a proper medical diagnosis and treatment for people dealing with an infestation from the bird mite D. Gallinae.

Not Delusional…Gamasoidosis from D. Gallinae Medical journal article describing the how an incorrect diagnosis of delusional parasitosis was later confirmed to be gamasoidosis from the bird mite D. Gallinae. The PDF is available to read and downloaded.

D. Gallinae Parasitosis A comprehensive medical journal article from Greece describing a human infestation of bird mites by D. Gallinae. It also mentions that Borrelia Burgdorferi, the Lyme disease spirochete, is transmitted to humans from this mite.

D. Gallinae Human Parasitosis Medical journal article documenting the far ranging problem of D.Gallinae affecting humans worldwide; stating “Dermanyssus gallinae can also feed on some species of mammals, including humans, causing dermatitis and skin lesions.“

Human Infestation with D. Gallinae Medical journal article from research done in Iran, documenting human parasitosis from the bird mite D. Gallinae, and further documenting how far reaching this under – reported problem is worldwide.

Effectiveness of Spinosad and Essential Oils For D. Gallinae Research journal article documenting the effectiveness of Spinosad and various essential oils at different concentrations for the bird mite D. Gallinae. Excerpt: “Eucalyptus oil was the most toxic essential oil in all concentrations to D. Gallinae (87.6 -97.6% mortality at all four concentrations, and Spinosad demonstrates comparable efficacy at 95.6% mortality“.

Terpenes As Effective Miticides for D. Gallinae Entomology research article documenting which terpenes from essential oils were most effective for the bird mite D. Gallinae; and concluding that eugenol (from clove oil) was the most effective even at a low rate of application.

Neem Oil 20% To Eraducate D. Gallinae A research article detailing the efficacy of Neem Oil at 20% to eradicate the bird mite D. Gallinae. Only the abstract is available.

D. Gallinae Resists Desiccation The bird mite D. Gallinae, labeled in this article as the ‘poultry red mite’, is documented as resisting desiccation. So products such as DE (diatomaceous earth) and other desiccants will not be very effective due to the very small size of this mite.The article also documents that D. Gallinae can be a vector of various pathogens to humans, including the spirochete that causes Lyme disease.
