The morphological characterization of ectoparasites from domestic and wild animals is crucial to distinguish those that may be involved in the transmission of zoonotic pathogens. The objectives of this work were to identify parasitic arthropods collected from several hosts in Yucatan State, Mexico and to determine the prevalence of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi in sylvatic specimens of Triatoma dimidiata. Morphological traits and scanning electron microscopy were used to confirm some parasitic identities. In total, 834 parasitic arthropods of various taxa were identified. Amblyomma americanum, Amblyomma maculatum, Amblyomma parvum, Dermacentor variabilis, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus were identified from dogs, horses, sheep, and deer. The flea Ctenocephalides felis was identified from dogs and the human flea, Pulex irritans was found on horses and sheep. The Neotropical deer ked Lipoptena mazamae was identified from brown brocket deer Mazama pandora. The chewing lice Chelopistes meleagridis, Menacanthus stramineus, Menopon gallinae, Myrsidea sp. and Lipeurus caponis were identified from poultry (Meleagris gallopavo and Gallus gallus). Other chewing lice, Tyranniphilopterus sp., Columbicola columbae, and Physconelloides eurysema were identified from wild birds Pachyramphus aglaiae, Patagioenas flavirostris and Zenaida asiatica, respectively. Trypanosoma cruzi was present in 52.5\% of sylvatic adult T. dimidiata. Several of these findings represent new records of ectoparasites for Yucatan and new distribution areas in Mexico. The implications for human and animal health are discussed.

Chewing lice, ticks, mites, and other ectoparasites can infect migratory birds and transmit to resident birds. Ectoparasites cause allergic reactions, irritation, anorexia, decrease in economic income, and may transmit some pathogens between birds. Our current study examined and detected ectoparasites on migratory birds in the Eastern Desert and Gabel El Zeit area, Red Sea, Egypt. During this study, we examined eighty-two migratory birds to detect ectoparasites between March 2019 and May 2022. In this period, we collect 82 newly dead migratory birds belonging to 7 orders; 36 birds of Ciconiiformes, 35 birds of Accipitriformes, four birds of Coraciiformes, two birds of Falconiformes, two birds of Pterocliformes, two birds of Suliformes, and one bird of Columbiformes were examined for ectoparasites. The collected ectoparasites from the migratory birds were preserved freezing or in 70\% ethanol until identified as species in the laboratory examination. A total of twenty-six ectoparasite species were collected, belonging to 16 lice, four ticks, four flies, and two mites on migratory birds. Concluded that more studies should be conducted aimed at studying ectoparasites on all species of soaring birds migrating through Egypt.

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of ectoparasites on Gallus gallus L., 1758, in freerange chickens from June to October 2001, biweekly collections were accomplished on 25 adult fowls at the farm Boa Vista, district of Santa B\árbara of Tug\úrio, state of Minas Gerais. The species identified once their most common sites of distribution were: Ornithonyssus bursa on the legs (59,22\%); Menopon gallinae on the breast (52,07\%) and thighs (19,92\%); Goniocotes gallinae on the breast (60,72\%) and thighs (18,26\%); Goniodes gigas on the breast (76,29\%) and back (21,02\%); Lipeurus caponis exclusively on the feathers of the neck, wing and tail, and nymphs of Amblyomma cajennense on the crest and around the eyes (98,03\%).

Data on lice and ticks parasitizing gulls are scarce. Here data on 58 adult and 10 young Audouin\’s gulls from the Chafarinas lslands are provided. Three species of chewing lice Austromenopon transversum (prevalence / mean intensity: 20\%-2), Koeniginirmus punctatus (100\%-15.5). and Saemundssonia lari (10\%-3.2) and one tick Ornithodoros maritimus (100\%-18) were found. A. transversum, S. lari, and O.. maritimus are recorded for the first time for L. audouinii.

Fifteen greater shearwaters (Puffinus gravis) collected during June 1993 from the east coast of Florida were examined for parasites. Twenty-five species were identified and included 5 nematodes, 4 cestodes, 9 mites, 6 chewing lice, and 1 tick. All birds examined were infected with at least 4 species of helminths (mean 5.2, range 4-7 species). All are known from greater shearwaters except Stegophorus diomedeae, Stegophoncs stellaepolaris, and Tetrabothrius minor. The most common helminths were the cestodes Tetrabothrius filiformis and Tetrabothrius laccocephalus and the nematode Stegophorus diomedeae, which occurred in prevalences of 100\%, 93\%, and 93\%, respectively. All 15 birds were infested with chewing lice, but 4 birds were free of mites. Each bird was infested by at least 3 species of parasitic arthropods (mean 6.8, range 3-12 species). The most common arthropods were 2 chewing lice, Austromenopon paululum and Halipeurus gravis, both of which occurred on 100\% of the birds. The bird tick, Ixodes auritulus, is reported for the first time from the east coast of the United States.
