Ectoparasites of Cattle

Veterinary Clinics of North America - Food Animal Practice, 2020
Diverse groups of ectoparasitic arthropods cause significant morbidity and mortality in most of the approximately 1.49 billion head of cattle worldwide. Hematophagous ectoparasites (ie, blood-feeding flies, myiasis-causing flies, lice, mites, ticks) are the most important in cattle.

Epidemiology of Ectoparasites (Ticks, Lice, and Mites) in the Livestock of Pakistan: A Review

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Ectoparasites, including lice, ticks, and mites, inhabit the host skin and depend on their host for sustenance, maturation, and multiplication. Among these, ticks are more prevalent in various regions of Pakistan because of favorable climatic conditions,

Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Bat‐Associated Bartonella spp. in Bat Ectoparasites Collected From Ratchaburi Province, Thailand [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Introduction Bats are known to harbour Bartonella bacteria, which can be found in several species of bats. Various ectoparasites can infest bats and harbour the bacteria, serving as important vectors for diverse Bartonella species.

Human Ectoparasites Are Highly Prevalent in the Rural Communities of Northwest Ethiopia: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Environmental Health Insights, 2021
Background: Ectoparasites are organisms which inhabit the skin or outgrowths of the skin of another organism (the host). Many ectoparasites are known to be vectors of pathogens, which the parasites typically transmit to hosts.

Diversity of obligate ectoparasites and parasitism patterns in wild birds of the Balearic Islands: new chewing lice records for Spain [PDF]

Parasitology
Ectoparasites are commonly found on wild birds and might play an important role as vectors of pathogens. The Balearic Islands archipelago (Spain) is an ecological hotspot for wild birds due to its geographical location and habitat diversity. Although the

Ectoparasite Diversity and Infection Burden on Two Sympatric Bat Species, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Parasites are an abundant and diverse group of organisms that are often excluded from biodiversity surveys, limiting our understanding of host–parasite relationships and parasite diversity. Parasites are dependent on their hosts for survival and parasite

Alteration in gills, skin, and fins of snakehead fish (Channa striata) due to ectoparasite infection: a macropathological and histopathological approach [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2022
Snakehead fish (Channa striata) is a freshwater fish with high economic value both as ornamental and consumed fish. However, the ability to adapt to fluctuating environmental states prompts snakehead fish to be susceptible to parasites, ectoparasites ...

Identification of species, intensity, and prevalence of Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) ectoparasites in traditional ponds North Gorontalo

Depik Jurnal, 2023
Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) production continues to decline due to parasitic attacks on ponds in North Gorontalo Regency. Ectoparasites are one of the factors that can cause failure in the cultivation of vannamei shrimp.
