First record of Ibidoecus plataleae (Denny, 1842) (Ischnocera: Philopteridae) from the Black-faced Spoonbill, Platalea minor Temminck and Schlegel, 1849 (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae) in the Republic of Korea

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Chewing lice are highly host-specific, permanent ectoparasites of birds. This feature potentially places lice infesting endangered hosts at an even greater risk of extinction than the hosts themselves.

Identification of Ectoparasites Infesting Domestic Chickens and Evaluation of Control Practices Across Production Systems in and Around Dire Dawa, Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ectoparasites threaten poultry health and productivity by decreasing egg production, lowering meat yields, and transmitting diseases. This study is aimed at determining the prevalence and identifying the main species of ectoparasites, as well as assessing the current control practices in poultry production systems in Dire Dawa.

Chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) associated with vertebrates in Mexico

Zootaxa, 2018
The chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) of Mexico have been little studied and many publications include isolated records. This paper summarizes current knowledge of chewing lice recorded from Mexico resulting from an exhaustive search of the literature published from 1866 to 2017.

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

ILAE neuroimaging task force highlight: The utility of multimodal neuroimaging in diagnostic and presurgical workup of drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 439-450, June 2025.
Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force publishes educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy, consistent with ILAE's educational mission. In patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who are candidates for surgical intervention, the identification of structural abnormalities is a strong predictor of favorable ...
