Hlood sucking (haematophagous) arthropods viz., mosquitoes, sandfiies, culicoides, tabanids, fieas and lice (Insecta), ticks, and mites (Acarina), in addition to direct injury by their bites, play an important role in the maintenance and spread of certain dreadful viral diseases of
animals and man. They also act as vectors of other pathogenic organisms viz., Rickettsia, spirochaetes, bacteria etc.

The viruses, biologically transmitted by arthropods, are known as arboviruses. Several arboviruses pathogenic to man and animal are reported from many parts of the world including India. Mosquitoes are the most important vectors and are actively associated in the transmistion of several viruses e.g. Dengue, Japanese encephalitis Chickengunya, West Nile yellow fever, and severa] other encephalitis causing large scale epidemics in different parts of the World. Ticks rank next to mosquitoes as potential virus transmitters. In India, the well known Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) virus, producing several epidemics to both monkey and human populations in Karnataka during the last 20 years, and Ganjam, Kaisodi etc. has been isolated from ticks. The ticks are also the main vectors of Russian Summer-Spring encephalitis and Congo viruses.

Several papers, in this workshop, have reviewed the collection and preservation techniques of important haematophagous ectoparasitic arthropods and their hosts. But they are chiefly aimed at collection and the preservation of postmorteln material for taxononlic and other\  studies. On the other hand, the present paper provides a brief outline for handling of these arthropods for isolation of arboviruses.

This study deals with the Anoplura (sucking lice) belonging to the family Hoplopleuridae Ferris. This is the largest family under the order\  Anoplura and is commonly found on the hosts belonging to orders Insectivora, Lagomorpha, and Rodentia. A total of 39 species including 4 new species, belonging to 8 genera under 3 subfamilies have so far been recorded from this sub-continent. The systematics of all the species recorded is revised, furnished \vith necessary illustrations and presented in a consolidated form. Keys for the identification of the subfamilies, genera and species have beell provided to facilitate identification. The host-parasite associations and the antiquity of hoplopleurid lice are\  discussed in the light of available information on evolutionary trends among the hosts.

Two new species of the genus Hoplopleura are described from two closely related species of the genus Mus. H. ramgarh sp.nov. was found parasitizing Mus platythrix Bennett, 1932, in the Western Himalayan region in North India and in the Western Ghats in Peninsular India. H. sinhgarh sp.nov. was found parasitizing a species of the genus Mus, closely related to M. platythrix, and occurring sympatrically with it. The exact taxonomical status of this rodent species is still under investigation. The occurrence of two distinct species of lice on closely related sympatric populations of these mice has given an indication of their being two distinct taxa, a fact later supplemented by some consistent but not easily delineable skin and skull characters.
