We studied the abundance of ectoparasites of young and adult bee-eaters and the arthropod fauna in their nests. The feather lice Meropoecus meropis and Meromenopon meropis were found on both adult and young bee-eaters while chicks were additionally parasitized by the fly Carnus hemapterus. The distribution of these parasites was characterized by a descending logarithmic curve. The nest fauna consisted mostly of parasitic mites and predaceous beetles. Mites were represented by a large number of Androlaelaps casalis, a facultative ectoparasite of birds. On the contrary, the blood-sucking mites Dermanyssus hirundinis, D. gallinae and Ornithonyssus sylviarum were little numerous and the occurrence of other mites was only occasional. Beetles were represented by a large number of the nidicolous staphylinide Haploglossa nidicola which was accompanied by a low number of the nidicolous histeride Gnathoncus buyssoni. Occurrence of H. nidicola and A. casalis was moderately positively correlated. Large numbers of Dermestes spp. larvae occurred in the nests, too. Other beetle species occurred occasionally in the nest holes. Ticks and fleas occurred sporadically and were probably introduced by adult birds. They did not develop there. On the contrary, some flies, whose larvae had suitable conditions, developed in some nests. Spiders, pseudoscorpions and bugs were recorded only in a small number of species and individuals.

During the joint zoological expeditions of the Comenius University Bratislava and the State University Ulan Bator and the Mongolian-German expeditions extensive collections of sucking lice were obtained from different mammal species in Mongolia. In total, 21 species of the genera Enderleinellus (3 species), Hoplopleura (5 species), Linognathus (1 species), Eulinognathus (4 species), Linognathoides (2 species), Neohaematopinus (1 species) and Polyplax (5 species) were found. 14 species were recorded in Mongolia for the first time. Within the lice species collected in Mongolia, Four species are distributed in the Holarctic region, 15 in the Palaearctic region, four among them penetrate also the Oriental region and two are cosmopolitan. A synthesis of data concerning hosts (mammals) of the lice species was also carried out.

A total of 4,532 sucking lice belonging to six species, viz. Polyplax gracilis, P. hannswrangeli, P. reclinata, P. serrata, P. spinigera, P, spinulosa were collected from 44,896 examined individuals of 28 small mammal species in Slovakia during 1964- 1999. P. serrata and P. spinulosa occur frequently throughout Slovakia. P. reclinata is relatively rare, occurring more often in lowland areas than mountains. P. spinigera is not common, occurring mainly in the lowlands and mountain basins. The distribution Centre of P. hannswrangeli lies in the Zapadne Tatry, Vysoke Tatry, Belianske Tatry and Nizke Tatry Mts. This louse sometimes occurs in the Popradska kotlina basin, Muranska planina plateau, the Oravske Beskydy, Kysucke Beskydy, Velka Fatra and Oravska Magura Mts at altitudes exceeding 700 m a.s.l., i.e. the 5(th) vegetation tier (fire-beech) and higher. P. gracilis is a very rare species found in Slovakia for the first time.
