The prevalence and frequency distribution patterns of 10 phthirapteran species infesting house sparrows, Indian parakeets, common mynas, and white breasted kingfishers were recorded in the district of Rampur, India, during 2004\–05. The sample mean abundances, mean intensities, range of infestations, variance to mean ratios, values of the exponent of the negative binomial distribution, and the indices of discrepancy were also computed. Frequency distribution patterns of all phthirapteran species were skewed, but the observed frequencies did not correspond to the negative binomial distribution. Thus, adult\–nymph ratios varied in different species from 1:0.53 to 1:1.25. Sex ratios of different phthirapteran species ranged from 1:1.10 to 1:1.65 and were female biased.

Resumo: Um estudo sobre os principais mal\ófagos de 35 galinhas-d\’angola provenientes de cinco munic\ípios do estado do Rio deJaneiro (Barra Mansa, Maric\á, Itabora\í, Cachoeira de Macacu e Cambuci) foi realizado a partir da pesquisa de penas, coleta depiolhos, contagem de esp\écimens, acondicionamento em \álcool 70\%GL. Das 35 aves estudadas, 100\% apresentaram-separasitadas. Oito esp\écies foram e suas respectivas preval\ências foram: Menopon galinae (100\%); Menacanthus stramineus(2,8\%); Menacanthus pallidulus (2,8\%); Colpocephalum turbinatum (2,8\%); Lipeurus caponis (31,4\%); Lipeurus tropicalis(2,8\%); Goniodes gigas (25,7\%) e Goniocotes gallinae (40\%). O poliparasitismo foi observado, sendo a associa\ç\ão, Menopongallinae x Goniocotes gallinae, a mais prevalente. O contato das galinhas-d\’angola com diferentes esp\écies de aves dom\ésticaspode ter propiciado o parasitismo de mal\ófagos comuns \às outras esp\écies de aves. Pela primeira vez no Brasil s\ão registradosem galinhas-d\’angola esp\écies de piolhos Menacanthus stramineus, Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum,Lipeurus caponis, Lipeurus tropicalis e Goniodes gigas. As esp\écies Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum eLipeurus tropicalis foram registradas pela primeira vez neste hospedeiro, na literatura mundial.

English title: Chewing lice of free reared guinea-fowls (Numida meleagris, L. 1758) in the state of Rio de Janeiro

Abstract: A total of 35 guinea-fowls, Numida meleagris, were examined for lice at five municipalities in the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, (Barra Mansa, Maric\á, Itabora\í, Cachoeiras de Macac\ú e Cambuci). All birds were infested by lice. Eigth chewing lice species were encountered and their respective prevalence were found: Menopon galinae (100\%); Menacanthus stramineus (2,8\%); Menacanthus pallidulus (2,8\%); Colpocephalum turbinatum (2,8\%) Lipeurus caponis (31,4\%); Lipeurus tropicalis (2,8\%); Goniodes gigas (25,7\%) and Goniocotes gallinae (40\%) . The polyparasitism was observed being the association between Menopon gallinae and Goniocotes gallinae, the most prevalent one. The contact among guinea-fowls and other domestic birds might have been responsible for the parasitism with lice common to other bird species. For the first time it was registered in Brazil the occurrence of the following chewing lice in guinea-fowls: Menacanthus stramineus, Menacanthus pallidulus,
Colpocephalum turbinatum, Lipeurus caponis, Lipeurus tropicalis and Goniodes gigas. The chewing lice species: Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum and Lipeurus tropicalis were registered for the first time in guinea-fowls.

Abstract 1. This paper describes the influence of some epidemiological determinants on the prevalence of louse infestation on layers in Faisalabad (Pakistan).
2. Seventy layer farms were screened to determine the prevalence of louse infestation and its determinants including age of the bird, availability of space per bird and frequency of litter change.
Prevalence of Lipeurus caponis was highest (53.2\%), followed by Menacanthus stramineus (22.16\%), Goniodes dissimilis (12.37\%) and Goniodes gallinae (12.37\%).
3. Older birds (36 to 74 weeks of age) were found with a significantly higher prevalence of louse infestation than younger birds.
4. Month-wise prevalence of louse infestation was higher during the summer months (from April to August) and at older age.
5. Birds kept at floor area allowances ranging from 0!43 to 0!55m2 were highly infested with lice as compared to those provided with a space of 0!61m2 or higher per bird.
6. Litter change frequency after every 8 weeks resulted in a reduced chance of louse infestation as compared to less frequent litter changing practice.
7. It was concluded from the study that the louse infestation is a menace for the poultry production industry in Pakistan and age, space per bird and litter change frequency are the influencing
determinants.
8. Further research on the chemotherapeutic trials and resistance in poultry should be continued for an effective lice control program.

RESUMEN: En este estudio se determinaron los principales par\ásitos que afectan la gallina de campo Gallus gallus domesticus en Villamar\ía, Caldas (Colombia). El estudio se llev\ó a cabo en 86 predios de 12 veredas evaluando un total de 2.046 aves, de las cuales el 28\% de ellas\  correspond\ía a Gallus gallus domesticus. A trav\és de ex\ámenes de flotaci\ón de materia fecal con ZnSo4 e indirectas sloss modificada, se realiz\ó la identificaci\ón de endopar\ásitos, adem\ás, serealiz\ó necropsia en forma aleatoria estricta al 11\%. El diagn\óstico de hemopar\ásitos se efectu\ó mediante la observaci\ón microsc\ópica de extendidos de sangre coloreando con Giemsa. Para el diagn\óstico de par\ásitos externos se recurri\ó a raspados con glicerina, se colect\ó plumas de aves en el 44\% de las parcelas muestreadas y se determinaron las condiciones sanitarias y pr\ácticas de manejo utilizadas por los campesinos. Fueron identificadas diferentes especies de Eimerias spp, con una alta presencia (67,4\%); al mismo tiempo, nematodos como Heterakis gallinarum (34,9\%), seguido por Ascaridia galli (30,2\%), Capillaria spp (25,6\%). Entre los cestodos, Hymenolepis spp estuvo presente en un 18,6\% de los casos. Entre \ácaros de mayor presencia estuvieron los g\éneros Ornithonyssus sylvarium (24\%), Cnemidocoptes mutans (21\%), Epidermoptes bilobatus (8\%), y piojos como Menopon gallinae (89\%), Goniocotes gallinae (58\%), Lipeurus caponis (45\%), Menacanthus stramineus (34\%), Goniodes dissimilis (21\%). En los hallazgos de necropsia se encontraron formas adultas de Heterakis gallinarum (50\%), Ascaris galli (40\%), Capillaria spp (30\%), Choanotaenia infundibulum (20\%), Hymenolepis spp (20\%) y Railletina spp (10\%). Finalmente, no fueron encontradas formas compatibles con hemoparasitos. Entonces, se concluye que existe una relaci\ón directa entre la presencia de agentes parasitarios con deficientes condiciones sanitarias y alimenticias, as\í como ausencia de adecuadas estrategias de\  desparasitaci\ón.

Parasites in domestic poultry (Gallus domesticus) in Northwestern Colombia

ABSTRACT: This study determined the main parasites that affect the domestic hen Gallus gallus domesticus in Villamar\ía Caldas (Colombia). The study was developed in eighty-six properties from twelve municipal rural settlements assessing a total of 2,046 poultry, 28\% of which\  corresponded to the indigenous poultry Gallus gallus domesticus. Through a coprological flotation examination with ZnSo4 and indirect modified Sloss technique, the identification of endoparasites was carried out, as well as a post-mortem examination by a strict random method to 11\% of the animals. The hemoparasites diagnosis was done through the microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood smears. For the exterior parasites diagnosis, skin scraping with glycerin and the recollection of poultry\’s feathers in 44\% of the cases was employed, determining the sanitary\  conditions and practices employed by the producers. Different Eimeria ssp species were identified at a high frequency (67,4\%), at the same time, nematodes such as Heterakis gallinarum (34,9\%), followed by Ascaridia galli (30,2\%), Capillaria spp (25.6\%). Among cestodes, Hymenolepis spp was presented in 18.6\% of the cases. The most common mites include Ornithonyssus sylvarium (24\%), Cnemidocoptes mutans (21\%), Epidermoptes bilobatus (8\%) and louse such as Menopon gallinae (89\%), Goniocotes gallinae (58\%), Lipeurus caponis (45\%), Menacanthus stramineus (34\%) and Goniodes dissimilis (21\%). The post-mortem examination findings include adult forms of Heterakis gallinarum (50\%), Ascaris galli (40\%), Capillaria spp (30\%), Choanotaenia infundibulum (20\%), Hymenolepis spp (20\%) and Railletina spp (10\%). Finally, compatible structures with hemoparasites were not found. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a direct relation between the presence of parasitic agents and deficient sanitary conditions and nourishment practices, as well as the absence of antiparasitic strategies.

This study was conducted to identify the biting lice attacking the chickens in twenty locations within Arbil governorate. Results showed that the chickens were infested with six species of lice that are chicken body lice (Menacanthus stramineus), feather shaft lice (Menopon gallinae), chicken head lice(Cuclotogaster heterographus) ,fluff lice(Goniocotes galline ), large chicken lice(Goniodes gigas)and wing lice(Lipeurus caponis), but the chicken body lice is the dominant species in all locations with a percentage of 58.41\% of the total infested chickens. The results revealed that the infestation by the lice on one chicken different between single, double, triple and multiple and the single infestation was the common in the most location and it was 66.25\% while it was 28.75, 3.75 and 1.25\% in double, tripleand multiple infections respectively.
