Abstract: This case report was prepared to give information about Linognathus setosus (von Olfers, 1816) detected on a 2-year-old male Rottweiler breed dog which was brought to a private veterinary clinic due to restlessness and itching. Lice were found especially on the head, neck and back regions of the dog in the examination for ectoparasites. Four female, 2 male and 9 nymph lice were collected from dog. The collected lice were preserved in eppendorf tubes containing 70\% ethanol (C2H5OH) and were sent to the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Sel\çuk University for species identification. In the laboratory, the lice were left to be transparent in a 10\% potassium hydroxide solution and passed through a series of alcohols (70\% - 99\% ethanol), glued onto the slide with Canadian balsam and examined microscopically. Lice were identified as L. setosus. Although this species has been reported in Turkey, there is no article about its morphological structure, biology and prevalence. Therefore, detailed informations about the morphological features of L. setosus are given to inform veterinarians and scientists working in this field.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Ectoparasitism is an important factor associated with the poor production of indigenous chickens. The present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and ectoparasite diversity in indigenous chickens of the Dalahu region in the western part of Kermanshah province, Iran.
Methods: A total of 600 indigenous chickens (250 roosters and 350 hens) were randomly examined for the presence of different ectoparasites over the period April to September 2011. Ectoparasites were collected from different parts of chicken body using a hand lens, magnifyingglass, and flashlights. The samples were preserved in 70\% alcohol and cleared in lactophenol.
Results: The overall prevalence of ectoparasites was 52.8\% (66\% hens and 34.4\% roosters) (p\<0.001). Mixed infestation was noted in 70.34\% of the chickens. The prevalence was significantly higher in young (66.3\%) animals compared with older animals (39.33\%) (p\<0.001). Five species of ectoparasites were identified: Menopon gallinae (35.3\%), Menacanthus stramineus (26.7\%), Argas persicus (19\%),\  Dermanyssus gallinae (11\%), and Echidnophaga gallinacea (the \“sticktight flea\”) (8\%).
Conclusion: The results of the present investigation reveal that ectoparasite infestation is prevalent in this area. Further studies are recommended to
evaluate the effects of the ectoparasites on indigenous chicken health and production in the region (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2016; 40: 13-6).

Abstract: A six-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to itching and scalding crusts that persisted 10-15 days in both eyes. Upon bio- microscopic examination, 5\–6 semi-translucent, yellowish brown living lice attached to the upper eyelashes and a large number of eggs were observed. Following application of pilocarpine hydrochloride (Pilomann 2\%, Bausch-Lomb) and topical proparacaine hydrochloride (Alcaine 0.5\%, Alcon), the paralyzed parasites and eggs were manually removed by pulling with forceps. The lice were identified as adult forms of pubic louse, Pthirus pubis, and its eggs. The patient was treated with pilocarpine hydrochloride, which was applied thrice a day combined with pure vaseline. One week later, no lice or eggs were seen on the eyelashes.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The human head louse Pediculus capitis has recently acquired resistance to commercially available insecticides, which has ex- panded the search concerning the pediculicidal activities of some herbal products. The present study aimed to assess the in vitro pediculi- cidal activities of volatile oils extracted from 10 medical plants raised in Turkey: Rosa damascena (red provins rose), Pelargonium graveolens (geranium), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender), Salvia triloba (salvia), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary; two different chemotypes), Citrus ber- gamia (citrus tree), Cymbopogon nardus (citronella), Citrus limonum (lemon), and Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemongrass).
Methods: Head lice obtained from school children in Manisa Province were initially grouped as adults and nymphs and were then kept under optimal conditions (temperature of 27\°C and humidity of 50\%). A pinch of hair and filter paper were placed in Petri dishes and seven adults and seven nymphs were separately put in Petri dishes. The extracts obtained from each volatile oil were dropped on the lice specimens.

Results: The active movement of the external (antenna and legs) and internal (midgut and intestine) organs of the lice was monitored and recorded starting from 5th min for 24 hours by 10 to 30 minutes intervals. The time of death was defined as the loss of active movement and cessation of intestinal activities of lice. The results were analyzed using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versiyon 15. Conclusion: The results showed that the volatile oil of Rosmarinus officinalis (two different chemotypes) was more effective than the other oils.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the morphological characteristics of Colpocephalum nanum (C. nanum) Piaget, 1890 using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Methods: For this purpose, the C. nanum specimens collected from long-legged buzzards, Buteo rufinus (B. rufinus) (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae), in Turkey were examined under LM and SM for morphological characteristics. The specimens were fixed and kept in 70\% ethanol, cleared and moun- ted on the slides in Canada balsam. They were examined for morphological characteristics under LM. Some of the samples were put in a plate on absorbing paper and kept overnight, for ether to evaporate. These samples were mounted on aluminum stubs to study the ventral surface by placing them on their dorsal or ventral surface on double-sided adhesive tape. They were sputter-coated three times with gold, each time for approximately 7 minutes and later viewed using SEM (Zeiss SUPRA 55 VP FE-SEM and Zeiss EVO lS 10).
Results: Parts of the specimens were photographed, and the obtained data about morphological characteristic were evaluated in detail. Conclusion: The LM and SEM photos of C. nanum were compared, and information about the important criteria for diagnosis and other morphological characteristics was obtained.

ABSTRACT:\ We present this case report to provide information about Felicola subrostratus (Burmeister, 1838) (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) detected on a 2-year-old stray cat (Felis catus) brought for treatment to a veterinary clinic in Kocaeli, Turkey. Macroscopically, severe louse infestation was detected on the cat. Some of the lice on the cat were collected using forceps and preserved in 70\% ethanol. Then, they were sent to De- partment of Parasitology, Veterinary Faculty, Sel\çuk University in Konya for identification. Samples were examined under a microscope and identified as F. subrostratus (Burmeister, 1838). F. subrostratus has been known to be detected on cats in Turkey, but no study is found about this species. For this reason, in this case report, F. subrostratus was studied to further educate veterinarians and parasitologists in the country.

This study was performed to provide information on Tricholipeurus balanicus (Werneck 1938) detected on slender-horned gazelles (Gazella leptoceros) (Cuvier 1842). Four slender-horned gazelles kept in the El Hamma Zoological Garden in Algeria were examined for lice in April 2015. Three of the four gazelles were infested with lice; of 37 lice collected from the infested animals, 14 were females, 16 were males, and 7 were nymphs. Lice were mainly found on the back and hind legs of the gazelles. The lice were collected by a forceps, preserved in 70\% alcohol, and cleared in 10\% KOH for 24 h. Thereafter, they were rinsed in distilled water, transferred to 70\% and 99\% alcohol, mounted on slides in Canada balsam, examined under a binocular microscope, and identified as Tricholipeurus balanicus (Werneck, 1938). To the best of our knowledge, T. balanicus on G. leptoceros has been reported for the first time.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Present study was performed to record the oviposition and egg laying pattern of two phthirapteran species infesting red whis- kered Bulbul.
Methods: The number of egg laid by each species on different parts of body was recorded by direct observation under stereozoom binocu- lar microscope. Feathers bearing egg were subjected to SEM to observe the pattern of egg laying.
Results: The maximum percentage of egg of the ischnoceran louse, Brueelia guldum were recorded on feather of back region, followed by neck and breast. The amblyceran louse, Menacanthus eurysternus prefers to lay eggs mainly on neck, head and nape feathers. Conclusion: The ischnoceran louse, Brueelia guldum exhibits widespread oviposition sites while amblyceran louse, Menacanthus euryster- nus shows restricted oviposition sites on the host body.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The present study was performed to record the mean monthly prevalence, intensity of infestation, sample mean abundance and frequency distribution pattern of one phthirapteran species infesting of A. anseris.
Methods: Ten birds were examined every month. Infested birds were deloused. The bird was placed in a polythene bag containing a wool of cotton soaked in chloroform (head protruded out to allow breathing). After 10 minutes, the bird\’s feathers were ruffled on a white plastic sheet placed below. The head was examined separately. The louse load was transferred to 70\% alcohol and separated stage wise and sex wise.
Results: A total of 339 specimens of A. anseris were recovered from 66 infested hosts. Male-female ratio was 1: 1.8. Prevalence of Anaticola anseris was 55\% (n=120). The sample mean abundance was 2.38 lice/bird. Variance to mean ratio exceeded unity (10.70). The index of discrepancy (D) was 0.75 and the value of exponent of negative binomial (k) remained 0.334.The observed and expected frequencies did not differ significantly (\χ2= 13.33, df= 15, p=0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of A. anseris on Indian greylag goose was high but its intensity remained quite low. The distribution pattern of A. anseris conformed the negative binomial model.The temperature, photoperiod and heat index exhibited significant positive correlations with the prevalence of A. anseris.

Lice (Antennata: Phthiraptera) fauna in Turkey is not a well-known field. A large number of lice species described up to date parasitize birds. Most bird species of nearly 500 species in Turkey have not been examined from the perspective of louse specimen. No louse was seen on some examined species, and that is why lice fauna on poultry have not been searched out well. This paper emphasizes on what researchers need to pay attention in the course of research, which features and knowledge they need to have, and which morphological criteria they need to examine during diagnosis of lice.

This study was carried out to detect lice species found on hares (L. europaeus, L.) in the Konya province. Several lice individuals were collected on a hare and were kept in 70\% alcohol. Then, they were cleaned in 10\% KOH for 24 hours, washed in distilled water, stored in 70\%, 80\%, 90\% and 96\% alcohol for 24 hours for each step. They were mounted on the slides in Canada balsam and examined under a binocular light microscope. Two of the species were identified as Haemodipsus leporis Blagoveshtchensky, 1966, while the others were H. lyriocephalus (Burmeister, 1839). H. leporis was found on L. europaeus for the first time in Turkey, and it was also detected on this host species for the first time throughout the world.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study was performed to detect chewing lice species found on the songbirds at Lake Kuyucuk bird ringing station in the Kars province located in eastern Turkey. Methods: Chewing lice were collected from songbirds captured between September and October 2009. Fifty-one birds belonging to 22 species and 16 genera from 10 families were examined for the louse. Results: Eleven of 51 birds (21.57\%) belonging to 7 species; were infested with at least one chewing louse species. The collected lice were identified as Menacanthus chrysophaeus (Kellogg, 1896) on Reed Bunting, Menacanthus pusillus (Nitzsch,1866) on Water Pipits, Calandra Lark and Yellow Wagtail, Myrsidea rustica (Giebel,1874) on Swallow, Brueelia cruciata (Burmeister,1838) on Red-backed Shrike, and Penenirmus rarus (Zlotorzycka,1976) on Chiffchaff. All four Reed Bunting specimens were infested with Menacanthus chrysophaeus. The rate of infestation was 100\% in Reed Bunting, Red-backed Shrike and Swallow; 66.7\% in Yellow Wagtail; 50\% in Calandra Lark and Chiffchaff and 11.1\% in Water Pipits. No louse infestation was found in the birds belonging to Paridae, Passeridae, Sylviidae, and Muscipapidae families. Conclusion: Menacanthus chrysophaeus on Reed Bunting and Menacanthus pusillus on Calandra Lark are new hosts for these lice species. All the louse species determined in the present study are fi rst records for Turkey.
