Paper in French: Title - SUR QUELQUES INSECTES (SIPHONAPTERA, ANOPLURA} ECTOPARASITES DE MAMMIF\&RES
DANS LA BASSE VALLEE DE L\’OMO (ETHIOPIE)
The ectoparasite fauna for island foxes (Urocyon littoralis) on Santa Cruz Island (California, USA) in April (wet season) and September (dry season) 1998 was evaluated. Three taxa of ectoparasites were identified. These were fleas (Pulex irritans), lice (Neotrichodectes mephitidis), and ticks (Ixodes pacificus). Ectoparasite abundances varied seasonally. Typical of insular endemic species, island foxes may be especially vulnerable to the introduction of novel disease organisms and their vectors.
