Investigation of avian louse flies as potential vectors of protozoan and bacterial pathogens of veterinary importance [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAvian louse flies (Hippoboscidae: Ornithomyinae) are blood-feeding parasites with largely unexplored vector potential, although they have been implicated in the transmission of pathogens of medical and veterinary relevance, such as West-Nile virus ...

Louse flies of Eleonora's falcons that also feed on their prey are evolutionary dead-end hosts for blood parasites. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2019 Host shifts are widespread among avian haemosporidians, although the success of transmission depends upon parasite‐host and parasite‐vector compatibility. Insular avifaunas are typically characterized by a low prevalence and diversity of haemosporidians,

Effect of predation risk and ectoparasitic louse flies on physiological stress condition of the red-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon rubricauda) from Rapa Nui and Salas & Gómez islands [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Introduced predators at seabird colonies and parasites may have lethal and/or sub-lethal consequences for bird populations. We assessed the potential sub-lethal negative effects of these stressors in a native seabird listed as vulnerable in ...

Crataerina melbae louse flies are competent vectors of Trypanosoma sp. associated with nestling mortality in Alpine swifts (Tachymarptis melba) [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeHippoboscidae diptera or louse flies are widely distributed blood-feeding ectoparasites that can transmit blood parasites to their host. Four species are recognized within the Crataerina genus, which are parasites of the bird orders Apodiformes and ...

Louse Flies on the Fly: Host Macroecology Shapes Interspecific Variation in Ectoparasite Prevalence Among Migrating Birds [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe prevalence of ectoparasites is strongly affected by the host environment, which shapes not only host exposure, but also parasite transmission and survival.
