Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence

A circumpolar parasite: Evidence of a cryptic undescribed species of sucking louse, Linognathus sp., collected from Arctic foxes, Vulpes lagopus, in Nunavut (Canada) and Svalbard (Norway)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 656-664, December 2023., 2023
Since 2019, Arctic foxes from Canada and Svalbard have been observed with fur loss inconsistent with natural shedding of fur. Adult lice were collected from Arctic foxes with fur loss and conventional PCR targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) revealed that fox lice from Canada and Svalbard were 100% similar, but were ...

Host‐related and environmental factors influence long‐term ectoparasite infestation dynamics of mouse lemurs in northwestern Madagascar

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
The study revealed significant yearly changes in ectoparasite infestation for (a) Haemaphysalis spp. (ticks), (b) Schoutendenichia microcebi (mites), (c) Lemurpediculus spp. (lice), and (d) ectoparasite species richness. Displayed is the proportion of ectoparasite occurrence (yes: in black, no: in gray, a–c) and the distribution of the ectoparasite ...

Bartonella spp. detection in ticks, Culicoides biting midges and wild cervids from Norway

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 941-951, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Bartonella spp. are fastidious, gram‐negative, aerobic, facultative intracellular bacteria that infect humans, and domestic and wild animals. In Norway, Bartonella spp. have been detected in cervids, mainly within the distribution area of the arthropod vector deer ked (Lipoptena cervi).
