Extract

This mite was reported by Hirst in 1923 to be causing damage to poultry in Bedfordshire. He states that, although it had previously been found in pigeons, it had not before been recorded as a pest of fowls in this country. In the United States of America it has frequently occurred, and is regarded as a dangerous parasite, but Hirst's record seems to be the only one of its occurrence as a pest in the British Isles.
