Two species of fleas, Nosopsyllus fasciatus Bosc d&amp;rsquo;Antic, 1800 and Ctenophthalmus nobilis Rothschild, 1898 , and one species of louse, Polyplax spinulosa Burmeister, 1839, were found. Of these, the fleas were the more frequent, found on 34% of the rats, whereas the occurrence of the single species of louse was only 3%. Of the fleas, N. fasciatus was the most common, found on 18 of the 23 the rats infected by fleas (78%), whereas the occurrence of C. nobilis was 48%. Both C.nobilis and P. spinulosa are new species for the fauna of the Faroe Islands; whereas N. fasciatus has been reported once before, then on a domestic cat (Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758). The finding of C. nobilis is both the most westerly and northerly finding of this species in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
