 ==Overview==
-Knemidocoptes are [[Burrowing Mites|burrowing mites]] of avian species. There are a number of important species infecting both production birds and pet animals. The mites tend to infect unfeathered areas of birds and so commonly cause scale as a clinical sign. Spread of these mites occurs from prolonged close contact between birds, such as occurs between a mother and unfeathered young.

 ==Identification==
-''Knemidocoptes'' are small round mites found in different locations on avian species dependent on the species of mite present. They have a stumpy legged appearance as their coxa are sunk into the body. Unlike other burrowing mites, that have pediculated suckers, the tarsal portions of ''Knemidocoptes'' mites have claw like structures and tactile hairs. They may look similar to ''[[Sarcoptes]] spp.'' however they lack pegs and have dorsal striations instead. The mites breath through their cuticles and therefore are astigmata. The presence of a terminal anus can also be used as a distinguishing feature.
+''Knemidocoptes'' are small round mites found in different locations on avian species dependent on the species of mite present. They have a stumpy legged appearance as their coxa are sunk into the body and a U-shaped chitinous bar found behind the head.
 ==Life Cycle==
@@ Line 32: / Line 34: @@
 ''Knemidocoptes'' mites have hexapod larvae. They burrow into the skin creating moulting pockets and undergo two nymphal stages before reaching maturity.
-*''K. gallinae''
+== Clinical Signs ==
-::This species is a depluming itch mite in poultry. The mite burrows into feather shafts and causes pain and pruritus causing birds to pull out their own body feathers.
+Signs are dependent on which mite is present:
-*''K. pilae''
+===''K. gallinae''===
-::This species is the cause of '''scaly face''' psittacine birds. The mite attacks the bare areas of the face, beak, cere and body causing scaliness but little pruritus.
