Lesser mealworm or darkling beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus are common insect pests of broiler houses throughout the world.
As they can function as vectors for a large number of avian diseases and parasites and can carry food borne diseases, large lesser mealworm populations pose significant threats to broiler flock health and the production of safe food.
