1. Title: Magnified Majesty: The Red or Poultry Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) Revealed through Scanning Electron Microscopy 2.. Witness the intricate world of the Red or Poultry Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) as it is unveiled in this stunning Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image. This minuscule arthropod, a member of the Acari order, Acarina family, and Dermanyssidae subfamily, is a common parasite found in poultry houses and other bird habitats. Adult mites, when engorged with blood, exhibit a distinctive red coloration, but they appear black, grey, or white when unfed. Females, measuring approximately 1mm in length, can be seen in this image, showcasing their eight legs and the intricate structures of their exoskeletons. The Red Mite, also known as the Chicken Mite or the Poultry Mite, is an important pest in the poultry industry, causing anemia, reduced egg production, and even death in severe infestations. These mites are not only detrimental to poultry but can also pose a threat to humans, as they can transmit diseases. The magnification provided by the SEM offers a unique perspective, revealing the intricate details of the mite's body, including the setae (hairs) on its legs and the pores on its exoskeleton. This image not only serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world but also highlights the importance of continued research into the biology and control of poultry mites and other parasitic arthropods. 3.
