Sažetak
Dermanyssus gallinae, also known as the Poultry Red Mite (PRM) is the most debilitating blood-feeding arthropod attacking birds and mammals. It costs circa 230 million euros per year to the European poultry industry and has a prevalence around 80% in many European countries. Since the first paper published 90 years ago on Dermanyssus we have seen over 85 countries publishing on such pest with many papers targeting control methods. As in other pest arthropods, resistance against some pesticides (esp. some of the authorized acaricides) were recorded in some PRM populations. Besides, due to the specific biology of this mite (which spends almost its whole life in the environment at a distance from the host), the efficiency of most sprayed substances is insufficient due to the product not reaching the largest part of the PRM population. Many countries have worked on approaches linked to their national legislation and what products were available and legalised or depending of the research priorities their national funding bodies were interested to support. Such national approach created fragmented data and a lack of potential replication and comparability between countries. Fortunately, since 2014 a new EU initiative from the COST scheme under the COREMI FA1404 Cost Action (www.coremi.eu) has developed a strong network (28 countries and over 300 members) to work together. In recent years the research focus has been towards new control methods including organic/biological approaches, antigen candidates for potential vaccines or understanding the vector capacity, reproduction or detoxification of Dermanyssus gallinae and many more. Such collaborative work has created new knowledge on such pest, increasing co-authorship of scientific publications between the COREMI members. The authors would like to thank the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST Action (FA1404 – COREMI)“Improving current understanding and research for sustainable control of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae” ).
