家禽的嗜血性体外寄生虫，如森林刺鸟螨、北方禽螨（NFM）、鸡皮刺螨、家禽红螨（PRM）和热带禽螨（TFM）囊刺鸟螨在世界范围内流行。虽然家禽养殖是东南亚的主要产业，但只有少数报告涉及该地区禽螨的流行。在本研究中，我们对缅甸四个主要家禽养殖区的二十个农场进行了抽样。我们在六个农场检测到螨，它们显示出与NFM和TFMs的形态相似性。细胞色素C氧化酶亚基I的核苷酸序列表明，一些螨是NFM。这是第一份确认在缅甸家禽养殖场感染鸡的吸血螨中存在NFM和TFMs的报告。
Haematophagous ectoparasites of poultry, such as Ornithonyssus sylviarum, northern fowl mites (NFMs), Dermanyssus gallinae, poultry red mites (PRMs), and Ornithonyssus bursa, tropical fowl mites (TFMs) are prevalent worldwide. Although poultry farming is a major industry in Southeast Asia, there are only a few reports concerning the prevalence of avian mites in this region. In this study, we sampled twenty farms in four major poultry farming areas in Myanmar. We detected the mites on six farms, and they showed morphological similarities to NFMs and TFMs. The nucleotide sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I indicated that some mites were NFMs. This is the first report confirming the presence of NFMs and TFMs among the hematophagous mites infesting chickens on Myanmar poultry farms.
