Chromosome-level genome of the poultry shaft louse Menopon gallinae provides insight into the host-switching and adaptive evolution of parasitic lice [PDF]
GigaScienceAbstract Background Lice (Psocodea: Phthiraptera) are one important group of parasites that infects birds and mammals. It is believed that the ancestor of parasitic lice originated on the ancient avian host, and ancient mammals acquired these parasites via host-switching from birds.

A note on the haematophagous nature of poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallinae (Amblycera: Phthiraptera). [PDF]
J Parasit Dis, 2017 An analysis of the crop contents of the poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallina indicates that 67 % of adult males and 72 % of the adult females examined carried red content compatible to host blood, along with feather barbules. The percentage of nymphal instars carrying red content in the crop was quite low.

Rate of population increase of poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallinae in vivo condition. [PDF]
J Parasit Dis, 2016 Attempts were made to determine the rate of expansion of Menopon gallinae by releasing 10 healthier looking adult lice on each of the twelve similar aged fowls and delousing two fowls fortnightly (up to 90 days). The experiments were performed in the months of summer as well as in the months of winter.

Efficacy of citronella and ginger essential oil combinations against chicken lice (<i>Menopon gallinae</i>) and mites (<i>Ornithonyssus bursa</i>): Chemical characterization, contact toxicity, and <i>in vivo</i> validation. [PDF]
Vet WorldBackground and Aim: Ectoparasites, such as Menopon gallinae (chicken lice) and Ornithonyssus bursa (chicken mites), have a significant impact on poultry health and productivity, resulting in substantial economic losses and potential zoonotic risks. Conventional synthetic pesticides, though effective, pose health and environmental concerns. Hence, plant-

Journal of Mountain Research, 2021 The digestive and tracheal system of a poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallinae (Phthiraptera: Amblycera) has been studied in greater details. Alimentary canal of louse was dissected out along with crop under stereozoom binocular microscope. Entire alimentary canal of M. gallinae was found more or less straight and has three basic parts (fore-gut, mid-gut
