We document in detail the morphology of adults of the beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style of the beetle in the fur of the beaver. Platypsyllus displays numerous structural specializations which ensure mechanical stabilization, firm anchorage on the host, and ...

Based on 254 published records, we use species interaction networks to illustrate what is known about avian louse hitchhiking on hippoboscid flies. We then propose a protocol for obtaining new records by finding flies carrying lice on bird carcasses followed by species‐level sorting of all flies and lice with cost‐effective NGS barcodes.

Seasonal changes in the population of Menacanthus cornutus (Phthiraptera: Amblycera) [PDF]
The chicken body louse, Menacanthus cornutus (Menoponidae s.l.) completes its whole life cycle on the body of Gallus gallus domesticus. The louse exploits the microclimate developed by host skin temperature and feather cover. The weekly visual examination has demonstrated the pronounced response on the population fluctuation of M.

Patterns in the Distribution of Avian Lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) [PDF]
The frequency distributions of 15 species of avian lice among individuals within host populations are described and 12 previously described distributions are reviewed. All of these distributions were aggregated, but some of them do not conform to the negative binomial model (4 at P

Prevalence of chewing lice species on migratory birds in Razzaza lake [PDF]
Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera and Amblycera) are permanent, obligate, and host-specific ectoparasites commonly found in birds. This study detects the types of chewing lice on living migratory birds.

In vitro biology of pigeon louse Colpocephalum turbinatum (Amblycera: Phthiraptera)
In vitro rearing of amblyceran Phthiraptera is a challenging task. A look on the literature reveals that negligible information exists on the in vitro bionomics of avian Amblycera. Present report furnishes information on the in vitro biology of an amblyceran louse, Colpocephalum turbinatum, reared at 35 ± 1?C, 75-82% Relative Humidity, at feather diet.
