Hair cortisol concentration and body mass in moose (Alces alces) infested with deer keds (Lipoptena cervi) [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2020
The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi), a hematophagous ectoparasite of cervids, is currently spreading in Scandinavia, and the moose (Alces alces) is its main host. However, little is known about the impact of deer keds on moose.

Immunofluorescence analysis reveals no increased seroprevalence of anti-Bartonella schoenbuchensis-IgG antibodies in German forest workers [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bartonella schoenbuchensis is suspected to cause deer ked dermatitis and febrile diseases in humans. Deer keds (Lipoptena cervi), which infest cervids (e.g., roe deer, fallow deer), are discussed as potential vectors for B.

Morphological variation between populations of the expanding ectoparasitic deer ked Lipoptena cervi (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) in Fennoscandia [PDF]

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015
We examined morphological and genetic differences among Fennoscandian deer ked (Lipoptena cervi L, Hippoboscidae) populations with varying expansion history: the eastern population (Finland) has expanded rapidly, whereas the western population is divided

First record of Lipoptena cervi (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) among goats in Bulgaria

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The investigation was conducted on 4,599 goats from eight breeds, naturally infected with ectopara-sitic insects. The visit to the farms was paid after the owners alarmed for signs of considerable dis-comfort and itching among the animals.

Molecular detection of Trypanosoma spp. in Lipoptena cervi and Lipoptena fortisetosa (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) and their potential role in the transmission of pathogens. [PDF]

Parasitology, 2020
AbstractThe family Hippoboscidae is a less known group of blood-sucking flies. Deer ked are particularly important for animal health; they may act as potential vectors of disease to ungulates, and may transmit pathogens to animals and humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) DNA in deer keds using ...

Comparison of Skin Lesions Caused by Ixodes ricinus Ticks and Lipoptena cervi Deer Keds Infesting Humans in the Natural Environment. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2020
Background: The territorial expansion and increased population size of haematophagous arthropods (i.e., the castor bean tick Ixodes ricinus (Ixodida: Ixodidae) and the deer ked Lipoptena cervi (Diptera: Hippoboscidae)) has enhanced the risk of human ...

Molecular Detection of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> s.l. (<i>Borreliella</i>) and <i>Chlamydia</i>-Like Organism DNA in Early Developmental Stages of Arthropod Vector Species. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) is spirochetes transmitted by ticks and known to cause Lyme disease. Chlamydia‐like organisms (CLOs) comprise a large group of bacteria that can lead to serious health disorders, including miscarriage. Recently, CLOs have been found in ticks and patient skin biopsies.

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy). [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Exploring the vector potential of <i>Lipoptena cervi</i> (Diptera: Hippoboscidae): first record of <i>Setaria cervi</i> (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) DNA in deer keds. [PDF]

Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis
Setaria cervi is a filarial nematode that infects both wild and domestic ungulates. It is primarily transmitted by mosquitoes, although the possible role of other hematophagous insects is still uncertain. We investigated 83 wingless deer keds (Lipoptena spp.) from red and fallow deer in northern and eastern Slovakia, as well as 43 red deer liver ...
