Chewing Lice From the Wings of Migrating Shorebirds: Diversity, Host Specificity, and Associations With Host Body Condition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated the diversity, prevalence, and abundance of chewing lice in 1403 individuals representing 20 migratory shorebird species from the families Charadriidae and Scolopacidae, identifying 26 louse species through microscopy and DNA barcoding.

New record of the chewing louse Myrsidea dissimilis (Kellogg, 1896) (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) parasitizing a Purple Martin, Progne subis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Passeriformes: Hirundinidae) in Amazonas, Brazil

Entomological Communications, 2023
The chewing lice are obligatory ectoparasites of birds and mammals distributed worldwide. From an expedition to Comaru Island, Brazilian Amazon, a chewing louse parasitizing a Purple Martin [Progne subis (Linnaeus, 1758)], a Neotropical migrant, was ...

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Detection of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Haematopinus suis: Evidence for a Potential New Sylvatic Cycle of ASFV Involving Lice and Domestic Pigs

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal and highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild pigs, listed as a notifiable disease to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). In the absence of any credible commercially available vaccine, the economic losses to the global pig industry inflicted by ASF is insurmountable.

Insect ectoparasites from wild passerine birds in the Czech Republic

Parasite, 2008
Wild passerine birds (Passeriformes) from northeastern part of the Czech Republic were examined for ectoparasites. Three species of louse-flies of the genus Ornithomya (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), two species of fleas of the genera Ceratophyllus and ...

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 664-674, December 2025.
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence
