Abstract
    A field experiment was carried out in order to study the population density of palm dove,Streptopelia senegalensis egyptica (L.) and it associated ectoparasites in the Experimental farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, AL – Azhar University, Assiut branch, during 2011. One hundred and Twenty-five palm dove nests and fifty adult stages were collected from the study area. The results revealed that, high percentages abundance of palm dove were recorded during April and July. The lowest ones were found during May and September. The associated ectoparasites were also studied. The results revealed the presence fifteen of mite species belonging to fourteen genera, eleven families and three orders. Seven families of mites belonging to the order Mesostigmata
(Macronyssidae,Rhinonyssidae,
Phytoseiidae,Ascidae,Digmasellidae, 
Otopheidomenidae and Laelapidae), three families belonging to order Prostigmata (Bdellidae, Cheyletidae and Caligonellidae) and a single family belonging to order Metastigmata
(Ixodidae) were extracted from
bodies and nests of palm dove bird.  On the other side, the results revealed the presence two of insect species are associated also with nests and adult of this bird.
The ectoparasites encountered in this study are considered to be of medical and veterinary importance, therefore attention should be repaired.
