O presente estudo teve como objetivos investigar a comunidade de ectoparasitos associada a aves Mata do Olho D \água, localizada no munic\ípio de Maca\íba, Rio Grande do Norte, BR, sua estrutura e a influ\ência de vari\áveis ambientais e morfol\ógicas dos hospedeiros, al\ém de averiguar prefer\ências de microh\ábitat pelas esp\écies de \ácaros de pena e mal\ófagos em associadas \às aves em estudo. Foram examinados 172 indiv\íduos pertencentes a 38 esp\écies de aves Passeriformes e n\ão-Passeriformes. S\ão reportados 12 novos registros geogr\áficos para o Brasil e 11 associa\ç\ões ainda n\ão conhecidas com hospedeiros de \ácaros de pena e mal\ófagos. Foi detectada rela\ç\ão significativa entre abund\ância de mal\ófagos e as vari\áveis comprimento total (r= 0,29; p\<0,05) e c\úlmen exposto (r= 0,38; p\<0,05) dos hospedeiros. Uma componente principal (CP1) respons\ável por 90,1\% da varia\ç\ão morfol\ógica dos hospedeiros foi significativamente influente sobre a abund\ância de mal\ófagos (p\<0,05), indicando que caracter\ísticas morfol\ógicas dos hospedeiros podem estar influenciando positivamente a abund\ância desses ectoparasitos. Frequ\ência significativamente maior de indiv\íduos com altas cargas de mal\ófagos foi dectada durante o per\íodo de seca (x\²= 8,5; p\<0,05), corroborando estudos que prop\õem que aves de ambientes \áridos sofrem tanta press\ão parasit\ária quanto aquelas de ambientes \úmidos. An\álises de modelos nulos de coocorr\ência e sobreposi\ç\ão de nicho apontaram alto grau de estrutura nas assembleias de \ácaros e mal\ófagos, quando comparadas com outros grupos, e prefer\ências no uso de microh\ábitats pelos t\áxons identificados. Estes resultados corroboram teorias ecol\ógicas nos sistemas parasito-hospedeiro, contribuem para o conhecimento dos ectoparasitos associados \às aves neotropicais e apontam a necessidade de estudos experimentais, assim como maior aprofundamento na biologia desses artr\ópodos

This study to aimed investigate the community of ectoparasites associated with birds in the Mata do Olho D \água, in the municipality of Maca\íba, Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brazil, its structure and the ambiental and hosts influential variables on it, and to verify microhabitats preferences by species of chewing lice and feather mites. We examined 172 individuals belonging to 38 species of Passeriformes and non-Passeriformes. 12 new geographic records are reported and 11 host-parasite associations not yet known for chewing lice and feather mites species. Significant relationship was found between the abundance of chewing lice and the variables total length (r = 0.29, p \<0.05) and exposed culmen (r = 0.38, p \<0.05) of the hosts. A principal component (PC1) accounted for 90.1\% of the hosts morphological variation was significantly influential on the abundance of chewing lice (p \<0.05), indicating that the morphological characteristics of the hosts may be positively influencing the abundance of these ectoparasites. Significantly higher frequency of individuals with high loads of chewing lice was detected during the dry period (x \² = 8.5, p \<0.05), corroborating studies that propose that birds of arid environments suffer as much pressure as those of parasitic humid environments. Analyses of null models of co-occurrence and niche overlap showed a high degree of structure in the feather mites and chewing lice assemblies, when compared with other groups, and preferences in the use of microhabitats by taxa identified. These results corroborate ecological theories in host-parasite systems, contribute to the knowledge of ectoparasites associated with neotropical birds, and the need for experimental studies, as well as further deepening the biology of these arthropods

A total of 1,621 wild birds representing 34 species were examined for chewing lice in reed beds in southwestern Slovakia during the pre-breeding migration 2008\–2009 and 2016\–2019. A total of 377 (23.3\%) birds representing 15 species were parasitized by 26 species of chewing lice of 12 genera. Dominant genera were Penenirmus (with dominance 32.6\%) and Menacanthus (29.4\%), followed by Brueelia (12.6\%), Acronirmus (10.8\%), Philopterus (7.7\%), and Myrsidea (4.2\%). We evaluated 33 host-louse associations including both 1) host-generalist, parasitizing more than one host species and host-specific lice, occurring only on a single host species, and 2) lice species with large range geographic distribution, reported across the range of the distribution of their hosts and lice species with only occasional records from a limited area within the range of their hosts. The Bearded Reedling, Panurus biarmicus (Linnaeus, 1758), was parasitized by two species of chewing lice, Menacanthus brelihi Bal\át, 1981 and Penenirmus visendus (Z{\l}otorzycka, 1964), with conspicuously different prevalences (5.6\% vs. 58.2\%, respectively; n\ =\ 251). New material enabled us to redescribe both species of lice: the first one is resurrected from previous synonymy as a valid species. A fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene was sequenced from these two species in order to assess their relative phylogenetic position within their genera. Our study demonstrates the importance of an adequate identification of parasites, especially on rarely examined and endangered hosts.

Palestine hosts a large diversity of birds, with 393 recorded species, but little data are available on the chewing lice fauna found on these birds. In this study, we surveyed the species of chewing lice found on the common myna, Acridotheres tristis, which is one of the most invasive bird species in the world. Forty-five mynas were examined to collect their ectoparasites, which were preserved and slide mounted. Among the 1004 chewing lice processed, we identified two species: Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838) (prevalence 100\%) and Brueelia chayanh Ansari, 1955 (prevalence 82.2\%). No other species of chewing louse known from A. tristis in its native range was found, showing a possible sorting event in the founding population of common myna in the region. Prevalence (100\%) and abundance (22.3) were high compared to similar studies of the common myna. To contribute to future research on the lice of common mynas, we provide an annotated checklist of the louse species reported from this host globally. Also, we redescribe and illustrate Brueelia chayanh, and place Sturnidoecus tristisae Bughio et al., 2018 as a new junior synonym of Sturnidoecus bannoo Ansari, 1968. \

Background: Turkey is home to various resident and migratory wild bird species. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ectoparasites found on 188 injured or rescued resident and migratory wild birds from Bursa and surroundings between 2015 and 2019.

Methods: Sampled birds were examined for different ectoparasites and all of the collected parasites were placed into tubes containing 70\% ethyl alcohol. After mounting onto slides or fixing onto a plate, each parasite was identified to species using a light or stereo microscope.

Result: Results revealed that 88 (46.8\%) of the examined wild birds were infested with one or two of 3 different species of ectoparasites. The species identified were 38 lice, three ticks and two flies. The lice were highly prevalent (40.4\%) species than the flies (2.1\%) and ticks (2.1\%). The results also first geographically documented the lice and ked fly species as follows, with additional new host records: Fulicoffula gallinula and Pseudomenapon pilosum in the common moorhens (Gallinula chloropus); Ciconiphilus decimfasciatus in the grey heron (Ardea cinerea); Saemundssonia clayae in the Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola); Ardeicola ixobrychae in the common little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) and the ked fly as Ornithophila metallica in the Eurasian magpies (Pica pica) in Turkey. The study results provided valuable data on the ectoparasites living on migratory and resident bird species during their migration throughout northwest Turkey. Further research on the related pathogens that these ectoparasites harbor is in need.

The aim of the study was to identify the chewing lice which were sampled from the birds found dead during ornithological studies in the natural areas of Samsun, and transported to the laboratory of Ondokuz May{\i}s University, Veterinary Faculty, Department of Parasitology, between 2018 and 2020. All samples were collected by ectoparasite examination. The collected lice specimens were preserved in tubes with 70\% alcohol. The specimens were cleared in 10\% KOH for 24 h before being mounted in Canada balsam and identified under the light microscope. A total of 35 species under 3 families were detected in this study: Menoponidae: Colpocephalum apivorus, C. impressum, C. nanum, C. napiforme, C. turbinatum, Colpocephalum sp., Pseudomenopon dolium, Kurodaia subpachygaster, Ciconiphilus cygni, C. decimfasciatus, C. quadripustulatus, Menacanthus agilis, M. curuccae, M. eurysternus, M. gonophaeus, M. stramineus, Menacanthus sp., Trinoton anserinum, T. querquedulae; Laemobothriidae: Laemobothrion maximum; Philopteridae: Anaticola crassicornis, A. mergiserrati, Anatoecus cygni, Anatoecus sp., Aquanirmus podicepis, Brueelia merulensis, Columbicula columbae, Cummingsiella ovalis, Degeeriella fulva, D. fusca, D. phlyctopygus, Craspedorrhynchus aquilinus, Incidifrons fulicae, Ornithobius cygni, Philopterus atratus, Saemundssonia lari, Strigiphilus cursitans, and Quadraceps punctatus. The first records for the fauna of Turkey are: Anatoecus cygni, Ciconiphilus cygni, Colpocephalum apivorus, C. napiforme, Kurodaia subpachygaster, Ornithobius cygni, and Philopterus atratus. As a result of this study, the number of chewing lice species (Phthiraptera, Amblycera, and Ischnocera) detected on birds in Turkey reached 195 species.

During the 20th century, the taxonomy and classification of chewing lice (Psocodea, Phthiraptera) was under the influence of Fahrenholz\’s rule, which states that louse and host phylogenies should mirror each other. Strict implementation of this rule lead to the description of countless taxa based on host associations, with little or no other distinguishing characteristics. Recent data from a multitude of sources indicate that the underlying assumptions of this theory are flawed and that this methodology is therefore not consistent with best practices in louse taxonomy, identification and classification. Here, we summarize the historical development of Fahrenholz\’s rule and associated parasitophyletic rules, the evidence for and against these rules, and the pervasiveness of these rules throughout the 20th century. We conclude that the evidence against Fahrenholz\’s rule is so overwhelming, that it cannot be recommended as a basis for future investigations, except as a null hypothesis to be tested. Cases where Fahrenholz\’s rule applies may exist, but we recommend that each case is examined on its own merits, based on data derived from the lice themselves, and not from preconceived ideas of host specificity or strict adherence to co-speciation between lice and their hosts

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.

Abstract Invasive species impact native wildlife in several ways, as they compete for resources and may transmit their specific pathogens. However, the potential consequences of co-introduced parasites are not fully understood. While the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) was introduced in Chile about a century ago, no data are available regarding its parasites. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the parasitic fauna of this avian invader and to determine whether there are co-introduced/co-invasive parasites shared with native birds. One hundred and eight birds were collected from three different localities in the \Ñuble region of Chile, and a complete parasitic necropsy was performed in the laboratory. Twenty-three (21.3\%) were parasitized by six arthropod species and four (3.7\%) were parasitized by two helminth species. Four out of eight taxa are reported for the first time in Chile; among them, three arthropod parasites and the tapeworm, Anonchotaenia globate, are considered as co-introduced parasites. Only A. globata is a potential co-invasive parasite given its low degree specificity in terms of its definitive hosts. Future research should examine whether additional co-introduced/co-invasive parasites have been brought by the house sparrow, and what their potential consequences might be on the health of native birds in Chile.

Portugese titel: Fauna paras\ítica do pardal invasor (Passer domesticus) da regi\ão de \Ñuble, Chile: um exemplo de parasitas co-introduzidos

Resumo: As esp\écies invasoras de vertebrados competem com esp\écies nativas no uso de recursos e transmitem pat\ógenos. Contudo as consequ\ências da co-introdu\ç\ão de parasitos permanecem pouco estudadas. O pardal (Passer domesticus) foi introduzido h\á um s\éculo no Chile, por\ém n\ão existem dados sobre seus parasitos. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a fauna parasit\ária e avaliar se existem esp\écies co-introduzidas/co-invasivas compartilhadas com as esp\écies de aves
nativas do Chile. Um total de 108 aves foram coletadas em diferentes localidades da regi\ão de \Ñuble. Seis esp\écies de artr\ópodes parasitos foram coletadas de 23 (21,3\%) aves. Quatro aves (3,7\%) estavam parasitadas por duas esp\écies de helmintos. Quatro de um total de oito esp\écies de parasitos correspondem aos primeiros relatos para o Chile. Tr\ês artr\ópodes parasitos e o helminto Anonchotaenia globata s\ão considerados parasitos co-introduzidos no pa\ís. Apenas A. globata possui potencial para ser considerada uma esp\écie co-invasiva, pois pode parasitar Passeriformes em geral. Pesquisas futuras devem investigar se os demais parasitos identificados neste estudo correspondem a esp\écies co-introduzidas ou co-invasoras e avaliar as poss\íveis consequ\ências na sa\úde das aves nativas do pa\ís.

A total of 266 wild passerine birds (Passeriformes) representing eight species and nine subspecies from three islands of the Archipelago of the Azores were examined for ectoparasites. Two species of louse-flies Ornithomya avicularia and Ornithoica turdi (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), three species of fleas Ceratophyllus gallinae, Ceratophyllus sp. and Dasypsyllus gallinulae (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae), and 11 species of chewing lice belonging to the genera Menacanthus, Myrsidea (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae), Ricinus (Phthiraptera: Ricinidae), Brueelia, Guimaraesiella, Philopterus, Sturnidoecus and Turdinirmus (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) were recorded. At least one species of ectoparasite was found on 114 birds of six species. Guimaraesiella tovornikae and Myrsidea sylviae from Sylvia atricapilla are redescribed. Records of Ceratophyllus sp. and Sturnidoecus sp. from Turdus merula represent new parasite-host associations. Phoresy of Guimaraesiella amsel on Ornithoica turdi was also found. Parasitological parameters such as prevalence, intensity and abundance and geographic distribution of recorded ectoparasites are provided.

A total of 170 wild birds from Senegal, belonging to 48 species and 9 orders, were searched for lice in 2005 and 2007. Chewing
lice were found on 58 birds of 18 species and 5 orders (Columbiformes, Cuculiformes, Coraciiformes, Galliformes and
Passeriformes). Twenty-two species of chewing lice of 13 genera were determined. Other nine samples of chewing lice that represent
a new host-parasite association were determined at generic level only, because only one sex or nymph of these lice were
found. Our records represent the first louse records from passerines Camaroptera brachyura (Cisticolidae), Chalcomitra senegalensis
(Nectariniidae), Corvinella corvina (Laniidae), Laniarius barbarus (Malaconotidae), Prinia erythroptera (Cisticolidae)

Abstract
In Voronezh, 14 species of parasitic insects were found in sparrows and their nests during 2017\–2020. It was found 6 species of chewing lice: Menacanthus eurysternus Giebel, 1874, Ricinus fringillae De Geer, 1778, Sturnidoecus ruficeps Giebel, 1866, Brueelia subtilis Giebel, 1874, B. borini Lunkaschu, 1970, and Philopterus montani Zlotorzycka, 1964. Among them, Menacanthus eurysternus was the dominant species for the House Sparrow (dominance 21.70 \%, prevalence 10.00) while B. subtilis (dominance 18.60 \%, prevalence 8.00) and B. borini (dominance 16.29 \%, prevalence 6.00) were subdominant. For the European Tree Sparrow, the dominant species were B. borini (dominance 22.07 \%, prevalence 8.00) and Ph. montani (dominance 22.07 \%, prevalence 10.6). All six chewing lice species were observed for the first time in Voronezh and the Central Black Soil Region of Russia. Three species of fleas \– Ceratophillus gallinae (Schrank, 1803), C. fringillae Walker, 1856, and C. tribulus Jordan, 1926) \– were registered. The dominant flea species was C. gallinae (for the House Sparrow, dominance was 67.13 \%,prevalence 45.00; for the Tree Sparrow, dominance was 66.47 \%, prevalence 73.33). Abundance of fleas for House Sparrow nestlings was 0.724, and 1.153 for Tree Sparrow nestlings. Parasitic flies were represented by five species: Ornithomya avicularia (Linnaeus, 1758), O. fringillina Curtis, 1836,
O. chloropus Bergroth 1901 (Hippoboscidae), Protocalliphora azurea Fll., 1817, and Trypocalliphora braueri (Hendel, 1901) (Calliphoridae). Among louse flies O. avicularia was the dominant species (for House sparrow, dominance was 85.93 \%, prevalence 53.00; for Tree Sparrow, dominance was 68.64 \%, prevalence 20.00). Larvae of P. azurea were found in 13.00 \% of House Sparrow nests and in 15.00 \% of Tree Sparrow nests. For House Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 3.42 \% with abundance 0.30, while for Tree Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 0.15 \% with abundance 2.05. Larvae of T. braueri were found in 31.00 \% of House Sparrow nests and in 40.00 \% of Tree Sparrow nests. For House Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 0.164 with abundance 0.088. For Tree Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 0.106 with abundance 0.220. Significant fluctuations of prevalence and abundance of the larvae in different years were found.

Some arthropod species are vectors of diseases to human’s beings, domestic and sylvatic animals acting
as biological or mechanical vectors of important pathogens. They produce direct damage due to feeding
habits and attachment to different parts of animals and humans bodies. The aim of this study was to identify
different species of ectoparasites from wild birds located at “Centro de Atenci\ón y Valoraci\ón de Fauna
Silvestre del area metropolitana del Valle de Aburr\á”. From October 2006 to November 2007 a descriptive
longitudinal study was done in 43 birds infested with ectoparasites. A total of 202 ectoparasites belonging
to Diptera and Phthiraptera (Insecta) orders and Parasitiformes mites (Arachnida: Acari) were found.
The Phtiraptera order shows the highest diversity with 18 species all of them belonging to Mallophaga
group. From Diptera order, one specie was identified and ten larvae from Muscidae family was identified
too, from Acari three genera of the Astigmata and Mesostigmata soborders was identified. The results of
this study allow us to expand the host range of Bonnetella genera to Ramphastos citroelaemus specie.
Also the presence of Menacanthus eurysternus and Colpocephalum turbinatum is registered in Pelecanus
occidentalis and Buteo platypterus. The development of microbiological and parasitological studies to
identify pathogen species in these ectoparasites is recommended to establish disease transmission risk and
prevention and control strategies of zoonotic diseases.

Paper in Spanish: Detecci\ón de ectopar\ásitos en aves silvestres evaluadas en Medell\ín (Colombia)

Resumen

Algunas especies de artr\ópodos son causantes de enfermedades en humanos, animales dom\ésticos y silvestres, actuando como vectores biol\ógicos y mec\ánicos de importantes pat\ógenos; adem\ás de los da\ños directos que ocasionan por sus h\ábitos alimenticios y de fijaci\ón en diferentes partes del cuerpo de sus hospederos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar las diferentes especies de ectopar\ásitos presentes en las aves silvestres ingresadas al Centro de Atenci\ón y Valoraci\ón de Fauna Silvestre (CAV) del \área metropolitana del Valle de Aburr\á. Se realiz\ó un estudio descriptivo longitudinal, en el cual se analizaron 43 aves infestadas con ectopar\ásitos que ingresaron al centro, durante el periodo de octubre de 2006 a noviembre de 2007. Se colectaron 202 ectopar\ásitos de los \órdenes Pthiraptera, Diptera y \ácaros del orden Parasitiformes (Arachnida). El orden Phthiraptera present\ó la mayor diversidad, con 18 especies, todas del grupo Mallophaga. Del orden Diptera se identific\ó una especie y diez larvas de la familia Muscidae, mientras que en los \ácaros se identificaron tres g\éneros, de los sub\órdenes: Astigmata y Mesostigmata. Los resultados de este estudio permiten ampliar el rango de hospederos del g\énero Bonnetella a la especie Ramphastos citroelaemus. Adem\ás se registra la presencia de Menacanthus eurysternus y Colpocephalum turbinatum en Pelecanus occidentalis y Buteo platypterus. Se recomienda realizar estudios microbiol\ógicos y parasitol\ógicos para identificar las especies pat\ógenas presentes en estos ectopar\ásitos, que permitan establecer el riesgo de transmisi\ón de enfermedades y proponer medidas de prevenci\ón y control de enfermedades zoon\óticas.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a fauna de ectoparasitos associada \às aves silvestres no munic\ípio de Palmas, estado do Tocantins, Brasil. A \área de estudo compreende tr\ês Unidades de Conserva\ç\ão. As aves foram capturadas com redes de neblina em Matas de Galeria, inseridas no Bioma Cerrado, entre junho de 2008 e mar\ço de 2009. Todas as aves capturadas (exceto beija-flores) foram examinadas quanto \à presen\ça de carrapatos, trombicul\ídeos, mal\ófagos e \ácaros de pena. Os ectoparasitas foram coletados, preservados em \álcool 70\% e identificados por pesquisadores do Laborat\ório de Ectoparasitos, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. A preval\ência e intensidade media de infesta\ç\ão dos ectoparasitas foram examinadas e relacionadas com o grupo taxon\ômico do hospedeiro, caracter\ísticas ecol\ógicas do hospedeiro e variaveis ambientais. Foram amostradas 204 aves pertencentes a 57 esp\écies, sendo 45 Passeriformes e 12 n\ão-Passeriformes. Do total de aves amostradas 38,3\% se encontrava parasitada por mal\ófagos, 73,0\% por \ácaros de pena, 16,7\% por trombicul\ídeos e 5,4\% por carrapatos. Entre os mal\ófagos foram encontrados 17 g\êneros e 15 esp\écies foram identificadas. Os \ácaros de pena foram representados por 16 g\êneros, sendo 10 esp\écies identificadas. Somente ninfas e larvas de carrapatos e trombicul\ídeos foram encontradas. Foi verificada uma complexa din\âmica populacional dos ectoparasitos, que esteve associada com: sazonalidade, per\íodo de atividade biol\ógica do hospedeiro (per\íodo reprodutivo, muda de penas ou descanso reprodutivo), participa\ç\ão das aves em bandos mistos de forrageamento, guildas, tipo de ninho e grupo taxon\ômico das aves.

English Abstract:

The aim of this work was to investigate the ectoparasites associated with birds in Palmas, state of Tocantins, Brazil. The study was conducted at three Preservation Areas. Birds were captured with mist nets in gallery forest (Brazilian Savana like Cerrado) between June 2008 and March 2009. All captured birds (except hummingbirds) had their ticks, chigger mites, feather louse and feather mites surveyed. Ectoparasites were collected, preserved in alcohol 70\%, and identified by researchers from the Laboratory of Ectoparasites, Federal University of Minas Gerais. The prevalence and mean infestation intensity of ectoparasites were examined and related host taxonomy, host ecological characteristics and environmental variables. We sampled 204 birds belonging to 57 species. Of them 45 were Passerines and 12 non-Passerines. Of the total birds sampled, 38,3\% was parasited with feather lice, 73,0\% with feather mites, 16,7\% with chigger mites and 5,4\% with ticks. We found 15 feather lice species, and others belonging to 17 genera. In the feather mites group we found 10 species and more 16 genus. Only immature stages of chigger mites and ticks were found. Ectoparasites show complex population dynamics that are associated with seasonality, reproductive and molt period, participation of host in mixed flocks, guilds, type of nest and taxonomic groups of birds.

Background: Chewing lice are permanent, obligate and host-specific ectoparasites commonly found on birds. Although chewing lice are relatively benign parasites, when present in large numbers they can cause changes in flight performance, thermoregulatory capacity, body mass and survival of the birds. According to BirdLife International approximately 310 species of birds occur in Portugal. However, the number of louse species documented is very limited. This study was carried out to determine chewing louse species of wild birds from Portugal. Methods: This study involves birds captured in mist-nets during the scientific ringing sessions and birds admitted at the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Investigation Centre of Ria Formosa. Chewing lice were collected using two methods: 1) visual search and collect for chewing lice in the plumage of each bird, during approximately 2 minutes; 2) fumigation chamber method, where birds are exposed to ethyl acetate for 15 minutes. Phthiraptera species were slide-mounted according to the Canada Balsam technique and identified. Results: Chewing lice were found on 43 (21.9\%) of the 196 specimens of wild birds examined, independently of the method applied. One hundred and twenty-two birds were only visually examined, with 26 (21.3\%) being parasitized. While for the fumigation method, 74 birds were examined, with 17 (22.9\%) infested. Infested birds comprise 12 species and the chewing lice identified belong to suborders Amblycera (14 species) and Ischnocera (7 species).

The fauna of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) from migratory birds was studied in 2008\–2009 and 2017 on the Curonian Spit, at Rybachy Biological Station of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences. Altogether, 35 species of chewing lice were collected off 2010 birds of 65 species. An annotated list of species is presented, including 11 species new to the Russian Federation, 29 species new to the Northwest of Russia, and 2 new host records: Menacanthus eurysternus from Carduellis carduellis and Ricinus frenatus from Carduellis spinus.

This study was performed to detect chewing lice on Magpie, between the dates of August 2011-February 2012 in Konya, Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. For this aim, 64 Magpie individuals were examined for the louse. In order to sample chewing lice, the feathers of the birds were carefully examined macroscopically. All lice were collected and placed in tubes with 70\% alcohol, cleared in 10\% KOH mounted in Canada balsam on slides and identified under a light microscope. Of birds examined, 20 out of 64 (31.25\%) were infested with at least one chewing louse species. Three lice species which belongs to the three genera, Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838), Myrsidea picae (Linnaeus, 1758) and Brueelia biocellata (Piaget, 1880) were found. Brueelia biocellata is the first ever recorded in Turkey.

We present the results of the studies on the chewing lice from 80 birds belonging to 33 species (only two domestic, the others being wild) of Romania, collected mostly during the last three years (2006-2008). From the 55 chewing louse species identified in the studied material, four of them are new reports for the parasitological fauna of Romania, namely: Goniodes tetraonis, Brueelia kratochvili, B. tenuis and Penenirmus speciosus. Also, the following six new chewing louse species \– bird species associations are reported for the first time all over the world: Austromenopon transversum on Larus michahellis; Colpocephalum nanum on Buteo rufinus; Menacanthus eurysternus on Passermontanus; Laemobothrion (Laemobothrion) tinnunculi on Accipiter nisus; Sturnidoecus sp. on Fringilla montifringilla; and Philopterus sp. on Acrocephalus agricola. The presence of a chewing louse species on A. agricola is reported for the first time in the world. And not the least, it is reported, for the first time, the presence of six chewing louse species \– bird species associations in the Romanian parasitological fauna.

The seasonal prevalence of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) on starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) from Hampshire and Sussex was monitored for one year. Four species of lice were recovered: the menoponids Menacanthus eurysternus and Myrsidea cucullaris, and the philopterids Brueelia nebulosa and Sturnidoecus sturni. Birds most frequently harboured populations of fewer than 10 lice. Juvenile birds were particularly lousy and their louse populations showed a dramatic decline after moulting. Menoponids were the most prevalent in August and September and Philopterids in June and July. From the data obtained, it appears that the chief factors which govern the size of louse populations are host behaviour (preening), moulting and climate.

Menacanthinae Wd. Eichler, 1940 of the family Menoponidae Mj\öberg, 1910 are taxonomically distinct from the Ricinidae Neumann, 1906, though they belong to the suborder Amblycera too. Menacanthinae and Ricinidae occur, as a rule, on their hosts rather rarely and in very small numbers. Most often the females are found and males are found exceptionally. Therefore they are rather inadequately known. Degeeriellinae Ed. Eichler, 1941 belong to the family Degeeriellidae Leach, 1815 and do not occur on Passeriformes. Here I describe only the central European representitives of the genus Picicola from Picidae.
