Between September 2019 and December 2023, a total of 612 wild birds representing 16 orders, 33 families, 60 genera, and 78 species from nine provinces of Iran with different climates namely Hamedan (n =\ 54), Sistan-va-Baluchestan (n =\ 372), Kerman (n =\ 73), South Khorasan (n =\ 52), Mazandaran (n =\ 7), Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari (n =\ 2), Gilan (n =\ 2), Golestan (n =\ 18), North Khorasan (n =\ 9), and Razavi Khorasan (n =\ 23) were examined for chewing lice infestation. Naked eye examination revealed that 58 birds (9.5\%) were infested with at least one chewing louse species. Collected lice specimens belonged to 28 species from the families Philopteridae, Menoponidae and Laemobothriidae including Strigiphilus strigis (n =\ 55, 15.6\%), Falcolipeurus quadripustulatus (n =\ 41, 11.6\%), Craspedorrhynchus platystomus (n =\ 40, 11.3\%), Colpocephalum turbinatum (n =\ 36, 10.2\%), Laemobothrion maximum (n =\ 25, 7.1\%), Nosopon lucidum (n =\ 20, 5.6\%), Degeeriella fulva (n =\ 18, 5.1\%), Colpocephalum eucarenum (n =\ 16, 4.5\%), Laemobothrion vulturis (n =\ 15, 4.2\%), Anaticola crassicornis (n =\ 13, 3.7\%), Craspedorrhynchus aquilinus (n =\ 9, 2.5\%), Degeeriella fusca (n =\ 7, 2.0\%), Aegypoecus trigonoceps (n =\ 7, 2.0\%), Quadraceps obscurus (n =\ 6, 1.7\%), Colpocephalum impressum (n =\ 6, 1.7\%), Trinoton querquedulae (n =\ 6, 1.7\%), Colpocephalum heterosoma (n =\ 5, 1.4\%), Colpocephalum nanum (n =\ 5, 1.4\%), Lunaceps holophaeus (n =\ 4, 1.1\%), Quadraceps spp. (n =\ 4, 1.1\%), Actornithophilus uniseriatus (n =\ 2, 0.6\%), Nosopon chanabense (n =\ 2, 0.6\%), Actornithophilus cornutus (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Cuclotogaster heterographus (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Falcolipeurus suturalis (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Laemobothrion atrum (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Colpocephalum gypsi (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), and Rallicola cuspidatus (n =\ 1, 0.3\%). All of these species except six, i.e., Trinoton spp., C. aquilinus, L. vulturis, L. maximum, C. impressum, C. turbinatum, and C. heterographus are recorded for the first time from Iran. This study is the largest epidemiological study to date performed in the country. Data reported herein contribute to our knowledge about diversity of avian chewing lice from wild birds in Iran. In this paper, an updated checklist of louse species reported from Iran according to their avian hosts is presented.

Abstract: T\ürkiye is a natural land bridge connecting Europe and Asia, and has a rich terrestrial mammalian fauna, with more than 150 species within the seven orders. However, there is limited information on ectoparasites of wild animals, especially carnivores, in T\ürkiye. In the present study, we provide the first data of ectoparasites of Turkish stone marten, Martes foina (Erxleben). A total of 38 ectoparasite specimens were collected from two road-killed stone martens in two different localities in Tokat province. Here, the presence of the genus Stachiella K\éler (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in T\ürkiye was reported for the first time, based on two specimens (1 male and 1 nymph) of Stachiella retusa (Burmeister). In addition, three flea (Insecta: Siphonaptera), namely Monopsyllus sciurorum sciurorum (Schrank) (1 male), Pulex irritans L. (1 female), Chaetopsylla rothschildi Kohaut (3 males, 8 females) and two tick (Acari: Ixodida) species, namely Haemaphysalis erinacei Pavesi (18 males, 4 females), Ixodes redikorzevi Olenev (1 female) were collected from stone martens. All ectoparasitic species are new host-associations for stone marten, M. foina, in T\ürkiye.

Paper written in Chinese

Brief summary: Sucking lice are exclusively hematophagous ectoparasites of eutherian mammals, and are world-wide distribution. The results show that 96 species belonged to 22 genera, 11 families of Anoplura have been described in China, accounting for 64.71 \% , 45.83\%, 17.14\% of known sucking lice secies, general and families in the world, respectively.

There are 27 endemic sucking lice species in China.Each family (genus) of sucking louse has the corresponding host animal and parasites on the specific family (genus) host animal. The results indicate that the fact there is a high host specificity of sucking lice and also represent the ecology phenomenon of coevolutionary relationship between sucking lice and their mammal hosts.

The paper provided a list of names of the host animals and sucking lice in China and a comparison of known genus of the lice in China with the rest of the world.

Abstract:\ The data on the fauna, abundance and prevalence of chewing lice collected from 360 specimens of 13 sedentary species of passerine birds in Yakutia are given. A total of 3206 chewing lice specimens belonging to 27 species of 6 genera were found. Most explored bird species were infested with several chewing lice species. We assume exchanges of parasites could take place between some bird species in the region explored.

Flea, lice, mite, and tick species associated with 510 Rhabdomys pumilio were collected at 9 localities in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The aims of the study were first to quantify the species richness, prevalence, and relative mean intensity of infestation of epifaunistic arthropod species associated with R. pumilio, and second to determine temporal variations in the mean abundance of the parasitic arthropods. Each mouse was examined under a stereoscopic microscope and its parasites were removed, identified, and quantified. The epifaunal population was made up of more than 25,000 individuals and included 8 flea, 1 sucking louse, 11 mite, and 13 ixodid tick species. Female-biased sex ratios were noted for 9 (30\%) of the ectoparasite species. Three undescribed mite and 1 undescribed tick species were recovered, and new locality records for 2 flea, the louse, and 2 mite species were documented. A phoretic host association between a nonparasitic mite species, Psylloglyphus uilenbergi kivuensis, and 3 flea species, Chiastopsylla rossi, Hypsophthalmus temporis, and Listropsylla agrippinae, was recorded. The mean abundance of the parasitic mite and insect species were higher during the cold wet season, whereas ticks were more numerous during the warm dry months. The large number of ectoparasite species on R. pumilio, a locally abundant and regionally widespread species, is of medical and veterinary importance particularly in relation to the transmission of pathogens such as Anaplasma marginale, Babesia caballi, and Babesia canis to domestic animals; Rickettsia conori; Yersinia pestis; and the viral disease Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever to humans.

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.
