Ornithonyssus bursa (also known as the tropical fowl mite) is a species of mite.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is most often a parasite of birds, but also has been found to bite humans and two species of mammals.^[4] It usually lives in birds' feathers, but for laying its eggs, it more often uses their nests rather than their feathers. Tropical fowl mites undergo five stages during their development: egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph, and adult. During the last two stages, they suck blood from their host for food. They are often diurnal, whereas northern fowl mites are nocturnal in nature.^[5]
