Oriental insect, 2022
The biological and ecological factors experienced across the lifespan by the bird hosts affect the seasonal dynamics of their ectoparasites. The seasonal population of Columbicola columbae which infests the domestic pigeon Columba livia domestica, in ...

Canadian Entomologist, 2022
Canada geese, Branta canadensis (Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae), and mallards, Anas platyrhynchos Linnaeus (Anseriformes: Anatidae), are infested by several species of chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae, Philopteridae).

Lice are obligatory, permanent parasitic insects belonging to order Phthiraptera, which have a developed proboscis to suck blood from capillaries (suborder Anoplura) of mammals, or chewing mouth pieces, adapted to eat hairs and feathers, and sometimes also the skin and blood of birds and mammals (suborders Amblycera, Ischnocera, and Rhynchophthirina ...

Distribution of Chewing Lice upon the Polygynous Peacock Pavo cristatus
The Journal of Parasitology, 1996An opportunistic survey of louse distribution upon the peacock Pavo cristatus was undertaken following a cull of 23 birds from an English zoo. After complete skin and feather dissolution, 2 species of lice were retrieved, Goniodes pavonis and Amyrsidea minuta. The distribution of both louse species could be described by a negative binomial model.

Journal of Parasitology
Cospeciation has been observed multiple times between parasites and their hosts. Here we compare the phylogeny of 2 different groups of chewing lice (Phthiraptera), one known for being host specific (Amblycera: Myrsidea) and one known for including many ...

Annals of parasitology, 2022
The reed bunting is a passerine bird of the Palearctic region, some subspecies suffer a decline in their populations. Four species of lice have been cited in reed bunting, but lice studies have not been carried out in the Iberian Peninsula.

Cospeciation of Pocket Gophers (Geomys) and their Chewing Lice (Geomydoecus)
Journal of Mammalogy, 1993Comparison of independently derived phylogenies for pocket gophers ( Geomys ) and their chewing lice ( Geomydoecus ) from Texas and Louisiana indicates a history of widespread cospeciation in this host-parasite assemblage. Inference of cospeciation is supported by statistical comparison of genetic-distance matrices for gophers and lice based on ...

Chewing lice (Phtiraptera) on the Bonelli's Eagle Aquila fasciata in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain)
Ornis HungaricaBonelli's Eagle is an endangered species with little information on its ectoparasites. We studied their chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) infestations by visually searching the plumage of 64 wild and captive specimens.

Pocket gophers and chewing lice: a test of the maternal transmission hypothesis
Molecular Ecology, 1998The life‐history traits of pocket gophers and their chewing lice suggest that there is little opportunity for transmission of parasites among pocket gophers, with the exception of transmission from mother to offspring. Herein, we test the hypothesis that lice are transmitted maternally by using an indirect approach that compares the distribution of ...

: Chewing lice infesting avian hosts can significantly affect host health and fitness. Here, we present quantitative data on host body condition and louse abundance observed from 121 Rough-legged Hawks (Buteo lagopus) sampled across the North American ...
