鸡皮刺螨是一种吸血性体外寄生虫，可引起贫血、体重减轻、皮炎和产蛋量减少。鸡皮刺螨可能在调节宿主免疫系统中发挥作用，可能使宿主易患某些细菌感染，如衣原体病。这是一种重要的人畜共患病。人类通过吸入从受感染的鸟类散布的病原体而暴露于鹦鹉热衣原体。在这项研究中，在金丝雀的鸟舍观察到的综合征进行了调查。D.鸡的报道。同时，一个C.鹦鹉热感染在金丝雀中得到分子证实。综合治疗成功。C.鹦鹉热与检查螨已得到证实。因此，我们认为D.鸡群在C.金丝雀中的鹦鹉热感染此外，D.鸡可能通过诱发贫血和虚弱，在金丝雀发生衣原体病的易感性方面发挥了重要作用。控制螨在鸟舍可能是一个重要的感染，如衣原体病在鸟类和人类预防的关键步骤。
Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite responsible for anemia, weight loss, dermatitis and a decrease in egg production. Dermanyssus gallinae may play a role in the modulation of the host immune system, maybe predisposing the host to some bacterial infections such as chlamydiosis. This is an important zoonosis. Humans are exposed to Chlamydia psittaci through inhalation of the agent dispersed from the infected birds. In this study, a syndrome observed in an aviary of canaries was investigated. A heavy infestation by D. gallinae was reported. Simultaneously, a C. psittaci infection was molecularly confirmed in the canaries. Combined therapy was applied successfully. The association of C. psittaci with the examined mites has been confirmed. Therefore, we think that D. gallinae have played a role in the spreading of C. psittaci infection among the canaries. Moreover, D. gallinae could have played an important role predisposing the canaries to the development of chlamydiosis, by inducing anemia and debilitation. The control of mites in the aviaries may represent a crucial step for the prevention of important infection such as chlamydiosis in birds and humans.
