English title: Diversity of chewing lice in seven duck species and three geese species inhabiting Chile

Anatids (ducks, geese) host a great lice diversity. However, there is scarce knowledge about the lice diversity in Chilean ducks, geese, and swans. Here, we describe the lice species parasitizing seven species of duck and three species of geese inhabiting Chile. Among all sampled anatid species, we found eight lice species. The Yellow-billed Pintail (Anas georgica) and Upland Goose (Chloephaga picta) hosted a higher richness of lice species (n = 4). The Blue-winged Teal (Spatula discors) and Chilo\é Wigeon (Mareca sibilatrix) hosted only one species of louse each. The lice Anaticola crassicornis and Trinoton querquedulae parasitized the higher number of anatid species (six and five, respectively). The records of Acidoproctus rostratus and Holomenopon leucoxanthum are new for Chile. We identified sixteen new lice-anatid associations, eight of which are new worldwide. In addition, our findings allow us to extend the geographic distribution of five species of lice previously recorded in Chile.

\  The birds and chewing lice relationship depends on environmental conditions that cause morbidity by feeding on feathers, irritating them, hence affecting their economic importance. In the present work, the statistical taxonomical analysis of the chewing lice was done using the population distribution, prevalence and host-parasite interaction. The chewing lice (Phthiraptera) were planned to study the population burden and infestation rate in ducks and geese in local water bodies in Sindh. The study was conducted between September 2018 and August 2021. Total of 124 birds, including Anas acuta, A. crecca, A. platyrhynchos, A. querquedula, Aythya ferina, A. fuligula, A. nyroca, Anser albifrons, A. anser, Marmaronetta angustirostris and Spatula clypeata were used. Amongst 124 host birds, only 58 birds were found infested with 46.77\% prevalence of chewing lice. A total of 405 chewing lice were collected among them 137 males, 178 females and 90 nymphs were recovered, including 8 species, Anaticola crassicornis (Scopoli, 1763), A. mergiserrati (de Geer, 1778), Anatoecous dentatus (Scopoli, 1763), A. icterodes (Nitzsch, 1818), Holomenopon fatemae (Naz and Rizvi, 2012), H. leucoxanthum (Burmeister, 1838), Trinoton anserinum (Fabricius, 1805) and T. qurequdulae (Linnaeus, 1758). The highest abundance and frequency (\%) of chewing lice recorded for Anaticola crassicornis were 125 and 30.86\% respectively, whereas the lowest for Anatoecus dentatus were 12 and 2.96\% respectively. Among birds, the highest host-wise prevalence of lice infestation was found in A. ferina (58.33\%), whereas the least prevalence was in A. albifrons (22.22\%). Among lice species, the highest mean intensity was recorded by Anaticola crassicornis (13.89\±3.33) and the least mean intensity was for Holomenopon fatemae mean intensity (2.6\±0.4). It was also the first collective report on the chewing lice population burden on anatid birds in the Sindh region of Pakistan.

Among the 60 Anas platyrhynchos domesticus (32 males and 38 females), all the mallards were infested with Anaticola cassicornis and Lipeurus caponis. A. cassicornis displayed the peak intensity (15.5 \± 3.64) in female ducks. The lowest prevalence was of Colpocephalum turbinatum (25\%) and found in male but the intensity was high (15 \± 2.23). Among the endoparasites, the highest prevalence was of Ascaridia galli (85.71\%) found in female ducks and the lowest was in Echinostoma trivolvus (12.5\%) found in male. The peak intensity was of Sobolevicanthus sp. (17.8 \± 2.34) in female following Echinostoma revolutum (17.33 \± 0.97). Ectoparasites were seen to infest all the seasons. But endoparasites were more prevalent in summer than the autumn and winter.

Eight species of Malophaga Anaticola anseris (Linnaeus, 1758), Anaticola crassicornis (Scopoli, 1763), Anatoecus icterodes (Nitzch, 1818), Anatoecus dentatus (Scopoli, 1763), Anseriphilus pectiniventris (Harrison, 1916) Holomenopon leucoxanthum (Burmeister, 1838), Trinoton anserinum (Fabricius, 1805) y Trinoton querquedulae (Linnaeus, 1758), have been identified attached to seven species of Anatidae: Anas acuta Linnaeus, 1758, Anas clypeata Linnaeus, 1758, Anas crecca Linnaeus, 1758, Anas platyrrhynchos Linnaeus, 1758, Anas penelope Linnaeus, 1758, Anas strepera Linnaeus, 1758 y Anser anser (Linnaeus, 1758). Their taxonomic characteristics and some morphological aspects are described. Additionally, and despite the scarce number of specimens available at certain moments, some aspects of their biology related to the host-guest relationship are outlined.
