Abstract
A model based on a time-varying distributed delay with attrition was developed for simulating the population dynamics of the chicken mite Dermanyssus gallinae (DeGeer, 1778). The model was parametrised according to cohort life table studies conducted under constant temperature conditions and was validated with two independent data set obtained in an experimental poultry house. The predicted mite densities and the stage-structure of the population corresponded to the values observed during experimental periods of 32, and 11 weeks, respectively. Temperature and a poultry house-specific density effect were determined to control the population development.Entities:
