Two new species of chewing lice in the genus Melinirmus (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Philopteridae) from Australian honeyeaters (Passeriformes, Meliphagidae) [PDF]
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”Two new species of the genus Melinirmus Mey, 2017, are described from Australian honeyeaters (Meliphagidae). These are: Melinirmus coromandelica n. sp. ex Ptilotula penicillatus penicillatus (Gould, 1837) and Melinirmus palmai n. sp.

Host and Parasite Interactions Among Three Symbionts: Pocket Gophers, Chewing Lice, and Endosymbiotic Bacteria. [PDF]
, 2000 This study investigates the patterns of cophylogeny documented between pocket gophers (Rodentia: Geomyidae) and their ectoparasitic chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae). The first two chapters investigate the mechanisms that reinforce cospeciation

Feather holes of rock ptarmigan are associated with amblyceran chewing lice [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2017 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.

Biogeography Explains Cophylogenetic Patterns in Toucan Chewing Lice [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2004 Historically, comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies have concentrated on cospeciation. However, many of these comparisons have demonstrated that the phylogenies of hosts and parasites are seldom completely congruent, suggesting that phenomena other than cospeciation play an important role in the evolution of host-parasite assemblages.

Low levels of chicken body louse (Menacanthus stramineus) infestations affect chicken welfare in a cage-free housing system [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground The chicken body louse is an obligate ectoparasite of domestic chickens. Chicken body lice feed on feathers, and infestation with this louse is linked to decreases in egg production, hen weight, and feed conversion efficiency.
