International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Louse flies (Diptera, Hippoboscidae) are ectoparasites often found on birds. As they spend most of their life on their host, they are not often collected or studied. Hence, little is known about their species richness and prevalence on raptors in Canada.

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolThe Hippoboscidae (Diptera) are a family of obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of birds (louse flies) and mammals (keds) that are known to vector pathogenic agents. Citizen scientists collected 4365 hippoboscids of 12 species, from 117 host species, in

Microorganisms, 2023 Birds are one of the most species-diverse vertebrate groups and are susceptible to numerous hematophagous ectoparasites. Migratory birds likely contribute to the circulation of these ectoparasites and their associated pathogens. One of the many migration

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 EntomolChanges in climate may cause changes in the ranges, phenology and interactions of insects with other species and lead parasites to switch host species.

Louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) of Romania: New records and novel host-parasite and hyperparasites associations. [PDF]
Int J Parasitol Parasites WildlThis study presents records of ectoparasitic flies from the family Hippoboscidae collected in Romania between 2022 and 2024. A total of seven species were recorded, with Pseudolynchia canariensis (Macquart in Webb and Berthelot, 1839) representing a new record for the fauna of Romania.

Louse (Insecta : Phthiraptera) mitochondrial 12S rRNA secondary structure is highly variable [PDF]
, 2002 Lice are ectoparasitic insects hosted by birds and mammals. Mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequences obtained from lice show considerable length variation and are very difficult to align.

Identification of a sex-linked SNP marker in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) using RAD sequencing [PDF]
, 2013 The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837)) is a parasitic copepod that can, if untreated, cause considerable damage to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) and incurs significant costs to the Atlantic salmon mariculture ...

A new Ornithoctona (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) species from Baikal State Nature Reserve (Russia)
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023 Louse flies from the family Hippoboscidae parasitise birds and mammals. Both males and females feed on the blood and carry many dangerous diseases. Representatives of the genus Ornithoctona are full-winged, widely specialised parasites of birds.

Arsenophonus and Sodalis Symbionts in Louse Flies: an Analogy to the Wigglesworthia and Sodalis System in Tsetse Flies. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2015 ABSTRACT Symbiosis between insects and bacteria result in a variety of arrangements, genomic modifications, and metabolic interconnections. Here, we present genomic, phylogenetic, and morphological characteristics of a symbiotic system associated with Melophagus ovinus , a member of the blood-feeding ...
