Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan [PDF]
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Birds in arid regions have depauperate louse communities: Climate change implications? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.Environmental factors are known to affect the distribution of free‐living organisms. We surveyed parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) of 500 birds and found that parasite diversity is also influenced by the environment. We found that birds in arid Utah had substantially lower louse diversity (prevalence, abundance, and richness) than birds in humid ...

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Chicken Body Louse, Menacanthus cornutus, and Evolutionary Patterns of Extensive Gene Rearrangements in the Mitochondrial Genomes of Amblycera (Psocodea: Phthiraptera) [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2022 Animal mitochondrial (mt) genomes are typically double-strand circular DNA molecules, but diverse structural variations have been widely found in multiple groups.

Vulture News, 2023 The Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) is a social species which breeds in colonies and feeds in groups. This can facilitate horizontal transmission of ectoparasites between conspecifics. In 2015, in the province of Guadalajara, Spain, 28 vultures from a wild

Diversity, 2023 Patterns of prevalence in chewing lice (Phthiraptera) on wild birds are poorly known, as are the underlying factors that influence these patterns. Here, we analyze a data set consisting of published prevalence data of lice on shorebirds, as well as new ...
