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.
