Control of ectoparasitic infestation in country goats
Small Ruminant Research, 1990Abstract Goats have great significance in India, where the main breeds are the Jamunapari, Beetal, Barbari and Black Bengal. One of the reasons for their low productivity is parasitic infestation with ticks (predominantly Hyalomma and Boophilus ), mites and lice.

Ectoparasite infestations of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Hungary
Veterinary Parasitology, 2003A survey was carried out to investigate the ectoparasite infestations of 100 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Hungary. The overall prevalence of flea and tick infestation was high (62 and 86% with the dominance of the anthropophil Pulex irritans and Ixodes ricinus), but the number of parasites was low to moderate.

Cage Design for the Confinement of Deer and Goats Infested with Ectoparasites
The Journal of Parasitology, 1988The design for a cage for the confinement of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and goats (Capra sp.) for use in ectoparasite studies is presented. The cage was successfully used for the infestation of these hosts with Boophilus annulatus and may be useful for host/parasite studies using similar hosts and other ectoparasites.

The diagnosis and control of ectoparasite infestation
1997This chapter covers the diagnosis and treatment of ectoparasite infestation and associated dermatoses of domestic animals. It includes discussion of ectoparasite control and the more widely used types of ectoparasiticides, but not a comprehensive list of all ectoparasiticides available worldwide.

Ectoparasite infestation and sex-biased local recruitment of hosts
Nature, 1999Dispersal patterns of organisms are a fundamental aspect of their ecology, modifying the genetic and social structure of local populations. Parasites reduce the reproductive success and survival of hosts and thereby exert selection pressure on host life-history traits, possibly affecting host dispersal.

Immunomodulation of host responses to ectoparasite infestation – an overview
Veterinary Parasitology, 1984Immune reactivity stimulated by ectoparasites and other arthropods has received increased attention in recent years. It is clear that a broad range of host responses are elicited, and immune effector mechanisms appear to be active in limiting infestation with blood-feeding arthropods. Host immune responsiveness appears to be altered as a consequence of

Stress response of brown pelican nestlings to ectoparasite infestation
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010Measurement of corticosterone has become a useful tool for assessing the response of individuals to ecological stressors of interest. Enhanced corticosterone levels can promote survival of stressful events; however, in situations where a stressor persists and corticosterone levels remain elevated, the adrenocortical response can be detrimental.

Ectoparasites: Lice Infestation
Avian lice, which belong to the order Phthiraptera, are permanent ectoparasites infesting a wide range of domesticated birds. The chewing lice/bird lice (Amblycera & Ischenocera) are wingless, flat-bodied insects characterized by biting and chewing mouthparts. They primarily feed on the skin, feathers, hair, or scales of their host animals, butV. Gnani Charitha, C. Sreedevi

Ectoparasites: Fleas Infestation
The most overlooked ectoparasites in the Siphonaptera order are poultry fleas. An estimated USD 2.8 billion is lost economically each year in America alone as a result of flea infestations in various animal species. These are ectoparasites with hopping legs that have been laterally flattened.Pradeep Kumar +5 more
