Since 2019, Arctic foxes from Canada (Nunavut) have been observed with fur loss inconsistent with natural shedding of fur. Adult lice were collected from Arctic foxes from Nunavut (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;n&lt;/jats&gt;&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;1) and Svalbard (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;n&lt;/jats&gt;&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;2; Norway) and were identified as sucking lice (suborder Anoplura). Using conventional PCR targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;cox1&lt;/jats&gt;), lice from Canada and Svalbard were 100% similar (8 pooled samples from Nunavut and 3 pooled samples from Svalbard), indicating that there is potential gene flow between ectoparasites on Scandinavian and North American Arctic fox populations. The &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;cox1&lt;/jats&gt; sequences of Arctic fox lice and dog sucking lice (&lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Linognathus setosus&lt;/jats&gt;) had significant differences (87% identity), suggesting that foxes may harbour a cryptic species that has not previously been recognised. Conventional PCR targeting the &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;gltA&lt;/jats&gt; gene for &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bartonella&lt;/jats&gt; bacteria amplified DNA from an unknown gammaproteobacteria from two pooled louse samples collected from Svalbard foxes. The amplified sequences were 100% identical to each other but were only 78% like &lt;jats italic=&quot;&quot;&gt;Proteus mirabilis&lt;/jats&gt; reported in GenBank (CP053614), suggesting that lice on Arctic foxes may carry unique microorganisms that have yet to be described.&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
