English title: Occurrence and diversity of parasitic lice in sea and coastal birds from marine animal rehabilitation centers on the southeast coast of Brazil

Abstract

Brazil is home to one of the most diverse avifauna in the world and its coastal and marine environments are habitat for a wide variety of pelagic bird species. Birds can be affected by a large number of parasitic arthropods, with chewing lice being the most commonly described. Despite that, information on abundance, prevalence, distribution and impacts of lice on seabirds is still limited. Considering the need to expand the knowledge on seabird lice published in Brazil, this work aimed to provide more information on the occurrence of these parasitic arthropods of these birds in the southeastern region of Brazil. The study received ectoparasites from birds that inhabit coastal environments from three marine animal rehabilitation centers; the Institute of Enviromental Consulting \– Enviroment Services (CTA \– Meio Ambiente), located in Araruama-RJ, the Argonauta Institute for Coastal and Marine Conservation (Instituto Argonauta), in Ubatuba-SP and the Canan\éia Research Institute (IPeC), in Canan\éia-SP. Among the ectoparasites received, the main findings were chewing lice, which were clarified and mounted on permanent optical microscopy slides using Natural Canada Balsam. Most were identified to species, but in some cases only to genus. Other ectoparasites found were feather mites, ticks and flies of the Hippoboscidae family. With this study, eight new parasite-host associations were registered in the world, in addition to seventeen new occurrences of species of chewing lice in Brazilian birds, never before reported in the country, and also sixteen new occurrences of lice in birds in the Southeast region

Between September 2019 and December 2023, a total of 612 wild birds representing 16 orders, 33 families, 60 genera, and 78 species from nine provinces of Iran with different climates namely Hamedan (n =\ 54), Sistan-va-Baluchestan (n =\ 372), Kerman (n =\ 73), South Khorasan (n =\ 52), Mazandaran (n =\ 7), Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari (n =\ 2), Gilan (n =\ 2), Golestan (n =\ 18), North Khorasan (n =\ 9), and Razavi Khorasan (n =\ 23) were examined for chewing lice infestation. Naked eye examination revealed that 58 birds (9.5\%) were infested with at least one chewing louse species. Collected lice specimens belonged to 28 species from the families Philopteridae, Menoponidae and Laemobothriidae including Strigiphilus strigis (n =\ 55, 15.6\%), Falcolipeurus quadripustulatus (n =\ 41, 11.6\%), Craspedorrhynchus platystomus (n =\ 40, 11.3\%), Colpocephalum turbinatum (n =\ 36, 10.2\%), Laemobothrion maximum (n =\ 25, 7.1\%), Nosopon lucidum (n =\ 20, 5.6\%), Degeeriella fulva (n =\ 18, 5.1\%), Colpocephalum eucarenum (n =\ 16, 4.5\%), Laemobothrion vulturis (n =\ 15, 4.2\%), Anaticola crassicornis (n =\ 13, 3.7\%), Craspedorrhynchus aquilinus (n =\ 9, 2.5\%), Degeeriella fusca (n =\ 7, 2.0\%), Aegypoecus trigonoceps (n =\ 7, 2.0\%), Quadraceps obscurus (n =\ 6, 1.7\%), Colpocephalum impressum (n =\ 6, 1.7\%), Trinoton querquedulae (n =\ 6, 1.7\%), Colpocephalum heterosoma (n =\ 5, 1.4\%), Colpocephalum nanum (n =\ 5, 1.4\%), Lunaceps holophaeus (n =\ 4, 1.1\%), Quadraceps spp. (n =\ 4, 1.1\%), Actornithophilus uniseriatus (n =\ 2, 0.6\%), Nosopon chanabense (n =\ 2, 0.6\%), Actornithophilus cornutus (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Cuclotogaster heterographus (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Falcolipeurus suturalis (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Laemobothrion atrum (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), Colpocephalum gypsi (n =\ 1, 0.3\%), and Rallicola cuspidatus (n =\ 1, 0.3\%). All of these species except six, i.e., Trinoton spp., C. aquilinus, L. vulturis, L. maximum, C. impressum, C. turbinatum, and C. heterographus are recorded for the first time from Iran. This study is the largest epidemiological study to date performed in the country. Data reported herein contribute to our knowledge about diversity of avian chewing lice from wild birds in Iran. In this paper, an updated checklist of louse species reported from Iran according to their avian hosts is presented.

Additional information from Dr.Sazmand - Menacanthus\ pallidulus was reported in 1958 for the first time in Iran

The present study was conducted to collect data on the lice species carried on common myna (Acridotheres tristis), which is a bird species that had no natural distribution in Turkey but was later included in the Turkish ornithofauna.

Material and Methods: The bird carcasses were visually inspected and ectoparasite samples were randomly obtained from the back, abdomen, and underwing of each bird using a 4X lens, comb, fine forceps with good light source. The collected lice were placed in tubes containing 70\% alcohol and were cleared in 10\% KOH. After washing with distilled water, samples were passed through 70\%, 80\% and 90\% alcohol series for three consecutive days, respectively, and were coated with Canadian balm. Lice were identified by light microscopy.

Results: Of the 25 carcasses of common mynas inspected, 19 (76\%) birds were found to be infested with lice, including 16 (84.2\%) birds infested with both Menacanthus eurysternus and Brueelia chayanh and the remaining 3 (15.8\%) birds infested with Brueelia chayanh only. The Menacanthus eurysternus lice were mostly collected from the dorsal region, while the Brueelia chayanh lice were mostly collected from the ventral region in the birds.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to report Brueelia chayanh in common myna in Turkey.

The chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) areparasitic insects of variety of birdswhich belongs to the family Phasianidae (Galliformes: Phasianidae) and are common on game birds. These are the parasites of both domestic and wild birdsusually all over the world.The order Phthiraptera (Amblycera and Ischnocera) divided into two notceable groups on the basis of their feeding habits, the chewing lice (Mallophaga) and the sucking lice (Anoplura). Chewing lice are the most important group with more than 3000 species identified and always causes great pathogenecity to its hosts. The chewing Lice (Order: Phthiraptera) wrapof three suborders, Amblycera, Ischnocera and Rhynchophthirina. The ectoparasites have great veterinary importance their taxonomival work which is reasonably priced in Pakistan as well as all over theworld.The chewing louse Goniodes dissimilis Denny, 1842 (Ischnocera: Philopteridae) is usually found on fowls (Galliformes: Phasianidae) which includes practically Common pea fowl Pavocristatus Linnaeus, 1758,Domestic fowl Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Turkey fowl Meleagris gallopavo (Linnaeus, 1958). The louse is small size brownish yellow pigmented slow moving philopteridand most of the time was attached to furryandglossy feathers of hosts belly or abdomin. It causes aggravation, annoyance, irritationand nervousness in behaviors of hosts. This wasfirst reported as new hosts and new locality records from the study area. The description of species was planned as taxonomically and genetically of both male and female specimens. The main purpose of the study was to check out the population density, collection, examination and investigation of variety of species of chewing lice and described systematically fromurban and rural areas of Hyderabad

The white-chinned petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis) is a seabird widely distributed in the circumpolar sub-Antarctic islands and subtropical regions, including Brazilian waters. Among the parasites present on the white-chinned petrel are the chewing lice. This seabird is parasitized by 4 known lice species to date. In this study we evaluated the ectoparasites of 2 white-chinned petrels rescued by an animal rehabilitation center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and recorded 4 species of chewing lice, of which 3 are already known for this host. One of the species however, has never been recorded in Brazil and another one has never been recorded parasitizing P. aequinoctialis, making this a new host record.

Background: Very little is known about the chewing lice fauna of Saudi Arabia especially from swifts (Apodidae). Swifts are common resident and migratory birds throughout Saudi Arabia. Two chewing lice genera are known for parasitising swifts throughout the world: Dennyus Neumann, 1906 and Eureum Nitzsch, 1818, none of which have been recorded from the Kingdom before.

New Information: Two species of resident wild swifts were examined for chewing lice for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Two rare lice species were identified: D. (Dennyus) hirundinis (Linnaeus, 1761) and Dennyus sp. (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) infesting the common swift Apus apus (Linnaeus, 1758) and African palm swift Cypsiurus parvus (Lichtenstein, 1823), respectively. The described chewing lice species are considered as new country records. They will be added to the Saudi Arabia parasitic fauna. Taxonomical and ecological remarks were provided for the identified chewing lice through this work, along with notes on swift/chewing lice interaction.

Despite domestic turkey being widespread around the world, many of their associated ectoparasites have not yet been studied in many parts throughout the globe. In Egypt, only two species of lice, Chelopistes meleagridis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Lipeurus caponis (Linnaeus, 1758) have been recorded associated to the turkey while in Saudi Arabia the bird has not previously examined to chewing lice before. These records of chewing lice on the domestic turkey Meleagris gallopavo domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Egypt and Saudi Arabia have been revised. Nine domestic turkeys from two local farms outside Cairo and two birds from the Riyadh bird market, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were examined for chewing lice. A total of 309 specimens of lice were identified. Two species of lice, Menacanthus stramineus Nitzsch, 1818 and Goniodes gigas (Taschenberg, 1879), were recorded for the first time in Egypt. While only Goniodes gigas consider a new recored for Saudi Arabia parasitic fauna. Three additional species, Menopon gallinae (Linnaeus, 1758) and Goniocotes gallinae (De Geer, 1778), and Lipeurus caponis were also collected. We summarize eight species of chewing lice associated with turkeys and provide an identfication key to them. Also, ecological and taxonomic remarks were provided with images for newly recorded species.
