One hundred and twenty captive chukars (Alectoris chukar) and other hosts from a pheasant farm in Jinacovice (Czech Republic) were searched for chewing lice from July 2003 to April 2004.

Lice infestation and diversity in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia [PDF]
Background and Aim: Biting lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) are ectoparasites that play important roles in the transmission of disease agents that infect turkeys and impact turkey productivity.

Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice
Feather holes have traditionally been suggested to be feeding traces of chewing lice (mallophagans). There is controversy whether mallophagans are the real source of feather holes. We studied mallophagan infestations and holes in tail feathers of 528 rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta collected 2007–2012 in northeast Iceland.

River barriers and cryptic biodiversity in an evolutionary museum
We find strong genetic evidence that the Congo River has served as a barrier to both birds and their ectoparasitic lice. Our results indicate that contemporaneous, Pleistocene lineage diversification has occurred across the Congo River. Abstract The Riverine Barriers Hypothesis (RBH) posits that tropical rivers can be effective barriers to gene flow ...

To the fauna of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) of birds in the Lower Don region, Russia. Non-Passeriformes. Part 1 [PDF]
The fauna of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) of non-passerine birds was studied in Rostov Region of Russia for the first time. The material was collected from 2001 to 2017 in the vicinity of Rostov-on-Don city. As a result, 29 species of chewing lice from 85

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.
