Seasonal variations in a population of an amblyceran louse, Menacanthus eurysternus, infesting the common myna have been studied. Incidence of infestation, lice, index, and population structure of this species have been recorded in different months of the year; reasons for the population fluctuations are discussed.

Eggshell Morphology of Selected Indian Bird Lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera)
Entomological News, 2009Microtopography of the eggshell of eight phthirapteran species infesting different avian hosts was studied by SEM. Nature of the markings present on the egg chorion of species studied was compared to the eggshells of already described species. It was found that the markings present on the egg cases of avian lice could be used to differentiate the ...

Parasitic lice have unique mitochondrial (mt) genomes characterized by rearranged gene orders, variable genome structures, and less AT content compared to most other insects. However, relatively little is known about the mt genomes of Amblycera, the suborder sister to all other parasitic lice.

The chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera, Amblycera) of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
Parasitology International, 2018The Great Cormorant is a widespread bird species with almost worldwide distribution. Accordingly, its general biology has been investigated thoroughly. Less well known, however, are the chewing lice that live inside the plumage of this diving bird. We examined the two known species of Great Cormorant chewing lice, Eidmanniella pellucida (Rudow, 1869 ...

Redescriptions of three species in the louse genus Myrsidea (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Amblycera)
ZootaxaThree species of chewing lice in the genus Myrsidea are redescribed and illustrated. They are: Myrsidea aegithali Blagoveshtchensky, 1940 from Aegithalos caudatus alpinus (Hablizl, 1783); Myrsidea flavida (Piaget, 1880) from Eurylaimus ochromalus Raffles, 1822; and Myrsidea franciscoloi Conci, 1942 from Cinclus cinclus (Linnaeus, 1758).

The genus Fregata includes 5 species, with 3 recorded in Brazil, with Fregata magnificens being the most abundant. However, its ectoparasitic fauna is still little known. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of ectoparasites of F. magnificens residing along the coast of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo collected by 2 animal rehabilitation centers ...

Haematophagous behaviour of Menacanthus eurysternus (Mallophaga, Amblycera).
Angewandte Parasitologie, 1983Haematophagous nature of some mallophagan species is of great concern to the scientists working in the field. Such species cause harm to the host directly by reducing vitality and productivity and indirectly by acting as reservoir and transmitter of pathogenic strains of infectious diseases.

Eichler (1954: 52) briefly described the new genus Niethammerella to include two morphologically similar species of lice: Machaerilaemus cotingae Carriker, 1949 and M. tityrus (Carriker, 1903), designating the former as the type species. Carriker (1949: 298) had already commented that M. cotingae and M.

Understanding the life history characteristics of bird lice: Amblycera versus Ischnocera
Ecological EntomologyAbstract Permanent ectoparasites, adapted to living on their hosts, face limited survival abilities and food availability off the host body. We investigated the variance in survivability and the diet type preferences between bird lice from two different groups — Amblycera and Ischnocera.
