Pseudoparasitism of broiler chicks by mites of the family Uropodidae, genus Fuscuropoda.
Seven 6-day-old broiler chicks were presented dead and heavily infested with ectoparasites. Tentatively identified as Argas ticks, the parasites were later determined to be non-parasitic mites of the family Uropodidae, genus Fuscuropoda.
