Ornithomya biloba, Pseudolynchia garzettae and Pseudolynchia canariensis (Diptera: Hippoboscidae): three new United Kingdom colonists and potential disease vectors [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2023
A citizen science project found evidence that three species of louse fly, which had previously been considered to be vagrants, are now breeding in the United Kingdom. Pseudolynchia garzettae was found on Nightjars, Ornithomya biloba on Swallows and Sand Martins and free flying Pseudolynchia canariensis were found in London.

Clarifying the Taxonomy of the Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya Fringillina (Curtis) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) – An Analysis of Morphotypes [PDF]

Acta Parasitologica
Abstract Background The louse flies in the genus Ornithomya Latreille are avian ectoparasites. The patterns of alar microtrichia on the wings of the Ornithomyae are commonly used to help distinguish the various species, with the patterns in most species found to be constant between individuals.

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 Entomol
The Common or Bird Louse Fly Ornithomya avicularia, a vector of Haemoproteus sp. and trypanosomes, has undergone a major northwards range expansion in the United Kingdom since the 1960s. The Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya fringillina has also expanded its range northwards and westwards, and the Swallow Louse Fly Ornithomya biloba is now established in ...

Investigation of avian louse flies as potential vectors of protozoan and bacterial pathogens of veterinary importance [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Avian 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 ...

The first record of Promyialges uncus (Acariformes: Epidermoptidae) on the louse fly Ornithomya chloropus (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) in the subpolar Ural

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2021
The feather mite Promyalges uncus Vitzthum, 1934 is a permanent ectoparasite, all stages of which are located on the skin of its hosts. It has phoretic relations with louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) parasitizing birds.

A first report of the detection of Avipoxvirus genomic sequences in louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) [PDF]

Parasitology
The Hippoboscidae are ectoparasites of birds and mammals, which, as a group, are known to vector multiple diseases. Avipoxvirus (APV) is mechanically vectored by various arthropods and causes seasonal disease in wild birds in the United Kingdom (UK ...

Insect ectoparasites from wild passerine birds in the Azores Islands [PDF]

Parasite, 2020
A total of 266 wild passerine birds (Passeriformes) representing eight species and nine subspecies from three islands of the Archipelago of the Azores were examined for ectoparasites. Two species of louse-flies Ornithomya avicularia and Ornithoica turdi (
