The New Haplotypes of Bartonella spp. and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Identified in Lipoptena spp. (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) Collected in the Areas of North-Eastern Poland [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Deer keds are hematophagous ectoparasites (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) that mainly parasitize Cervidae. These flies are particularly important for animal health due to the occurrence of numerous pathogenic microorganisms.

Detection of Bartonella schoenbuchensis (sub)species DNA in different louse fly species in Saxony, Germany: The proof of multiple PCR analysis necessity in case of ruminant-associated bartonellae determination. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The overall detection rates for Bartonella spp. were 100.0%, 59.1%, 24.6% and 75.0% in Melophagus ovinus, Lipoptena cervi, Lipoptena fortisetosa and Hippobosca equina, respectively. All the identified bartonellae belong to the Bartonella schoenbuchensis complex.

Factors affecting deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) prevalence and infestation intensity in moose (Alces alces) in Norway [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi), a hematophagous ectoparasite of Cervids, is currently spreading in Scandinavia. In Norway, keds are now invading the south-eastern part of the country and the abundant and widely distributed moose (Alces alces ...

Cross-Species Transmission at the Wildlife-Livestock Interface: A Case Study of Epidemiological Inference From Mule Deer GPS Collar Data. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mycoplasma bovis is bacterial pathogen of cattle that is rarely detected in wildlife. Our intensive monitoring of free‐ranging mule deer led to the discovery of Mycoplasma bovis as the cause of death in an animal that had recently selected for use of a dairy premise.

Citizen scientists mapping the United Kingdom's and Republic of Ireland's flat flies (louse flies) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) reveal a vector's range shift. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
The Common or Bird Louse Fly Ornithomya avicularia, a vector of Haemoproteus sp. and trypanosomes, has undergone a major northwards range expansion in the United Kingdom since the 1960s. The Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya fringillina has also expanded its range northwards and westwards, and the Swallow Louse Fly Ornithomya biloba is now established in ...

First report of Lipoptena axis Maa, 1965, from captive cervids in Thailand, based on morphological and molecular data [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Deer louse flies (Lipoptena spp.) are hematophagous ectoparasites of cervids. The genus Lipoptena comprises 32 species, some of which are of veterinary importance as vectors of various pathogens, and are also known to attack human hosts.

Colour Preference of the Deer Ked Lipoptena fortisetosa (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Lipoptena fortisetosa, a deer ked native to Japan, has established itself in several European countries and was recently recorded in Italy. This hippoboscid ectoparasite can develop high density populations, causing annoyance to animals and concern regarding the potential risk of transmitting pathogens to humans. No monitoring or control methods for L.

Deer keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) as potential vectors of bacterial and protozoan pathogens in Slovakia. [PDF]

Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis
Deer keds are ectoparasitic flies of wild ruminants and are increasingly recognised as potential vectors of various pathogens. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of selected vector-borne pathogens in wingless deer keds collected from 13 red deer and 2 fallow deer, as well as in host-seeking keds across multiple localities in Slovakia.

Pigeon Louse Fly or Pigeon Fly, Pseudolychia canariensis (Macquart) (Insecta: Diptera: Hippoboscidae)

EDIS, 2023
The pigeon louse fly, Pseudolychia canariensis (Macquart), is a common ectoparasite of pigeons and doves. The louse flies (Hippoboscidae) are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of birds and mammals.

Molecular detection of Bartonella spp. in deer ked pupae, adult keds and moose blood in Finland [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 2014
SUMMARYThe deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) is a haematophagous ectoparasite of cervids that harbours haemotrophic Bartonella. A prerequisite for the vector competence of the deer ked is the vertical transmission of the pathogen from the mother to its progeny and transstadial transmission from pupa to winged adult.
