Contributions to the knowledge of the diversity of the chewing lice fauna in Turkey
Turkish Journal of Zoology, 2022 The aim of the study was to identify the chewing lice which were sampled from the birds found dead during ornithological studies in the natural areas of Samsun, and transported to the laboratory of Ondokuz Mayıs University, Veterinary Faculty, Department of Parasitology, between 2018 and 2020. All samples were collected by ectoparasite examination. The
