This chapter discusses the cutaneous manifestations caused by arthropods which includes insects, ticks, mites, spiders, and scorpions. Infestations by arthropods as well as their developing stages lead to various cutaneous and sometimes systemic symptoms These cutaneous manifestations are varied and nonspecific. It may cause lesions like petechiae, purpura, ulcer, nodule, and atrophic, and hyper-pigmented lesions. Most lesions develop because of immune reactions to the potential allergen

Peridomestic (\“backyard\”) chicken flocks are gaining popularity in the developed world (e.g., North America or Europe), yet little is known regarding prevalence or severity of their ectoparasites. Therefore, five birds on each of 20 properties throughout southern California were surveyed in summer for on-host (permanent) and off-host dwelling (temporary) ectoparasites. Only four premises (20\%) were entirely free of ectoparasites. In declining order of prevalence (\% of premises), permanent ectoparasites included six chicken louse species: Menacanthus stramineus (Nitzsch) (50\%), Goniocotes gallinae (De Geer) (35\%), Lipeurus caponis (L.) (20\%), Menopon gallinae (L.) (15\%), Menacanthus cornutus (Sch\ömmer) (5\%), and Cuclotogaster heterographus (Nitzsch) (5\%). Only one flea species, Echidnophaga gallinacea (Westwood) (20\%), was found. Three parasitic mite species were observed: Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini \& Fanzago) (15\%), Knemidocoptes mutans (Robin \& Lanquetin) (10\%), and Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer) (5\%). Many infestations consisted of a few to a dozen individuals per bird, but M. stramineus , G. gallinae , M. cornutus , and E. gallinacea were abundant (dozens to hundreds of individuals) on some birds, and damage by K. mutans was severe on two premises. Off-host dwelling ectoparasites were rare ( D. gallinae ) or absent ( Cimex lectularius L., Argasidae ). Parasite diversity in peridomestic flocks greatly exceeds that is routinely observed on commercial chicken flocks and highlights a need for increased biosecurity and development of ectoparasite control options for homeowners.

The following study investigates louse parasitism of black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus (Ord, Rodentia: Sciuridae)) on 20 plots at 13 colonies in the short-grass prairie of New Mexico, USA, June\–August, 2011\– 2012. Among 124 lice collected from 537 prairie dogs during 1,207 sampling events in which anesthetized animals were combed for ectoparasites, all of the lice were identified as Linognathoides cynomyis (Kim, Phthiraptera: Polyplacidae). Data were analyzed under an information-theoretic approach to identify factors predicting louse parasitism. Lice were most prevalent on plots with high densities of prairie dogs. At the scale of hosts, lice were most abundant on prairie dogs in poor body condition (with low mass:foot ratios) and prairie dogs harboring large numbers of fleas (Siphonaptera, mostly Oropsylla hirsuta (Baker, Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae) and Pulex simulans (Baker,Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)). Lice have been implicated as supplemental vectors of the primarily flea-borne bacterium Yersinia pestis (Yersin, Enterobacteriales:Yersiniaceae), a re-emerging pathogen that causes sylvatic plague in prairie dog populations. Coparasitism by lice and fleas, as found herein, might enhance plague transmission. L. cynomyis deserves attention in this context.

This study was conducted to detect ectoparasites of hares (Lepus europaeus Pallas) between the years of 2003 and 2015 in Konya Province, Turkey. In this period, 75 hares shot by hunters were examined for ectoparasites macroscopically. Ectoparasites detected on the hares were collected with pliers and stored in tubes containing 70\% ethanol.\  e ticks were identi ed under a stereo zoom microscope. Other parasites were cleared in 10\% KOH, rinsed in distilled water, and transferred to 70\%, 80\%, and 99\% ethanol, respectively, and mounted on slides in Canada balsam.\  ey were identi ed under a binocular light microscope.\  e results showed that 33 (44\%) of the 75 hares were infested with a total of 309 ectoparasites. Four lice species (Phthiraptera), Haemodipsus lyriocephalus, H. setoni, H. leporis, and Menacanthus spp.; two\  ea species (Siphonaptera), Pulex irritans and Nosopsyllus fasciatus; three mite species, Cheyletiella parasitivorax, Dermanyssus gallinae, and Neotrombicula (N.) autumnalis; four ixodid tick genera, Ixodes, Haemaphysalis, Rhipicephalus, and Dermacentor; and one ixodid tick species, Haemaphysalis parva, were detected on the infested hares. In addition to these, thirteen ixodid and two argasid tick larvae were found on the hares.

The Black-browed Albatross (BBA, Thalas- sarche melanophrys) and the Grey-headed Albatross (GHA, Thalassarche chrysostoma) are long-lived sym- patric species breeding in the Atlantic and Pacific sections of the Southern Ocean. While the Atlantic populations of these two species have been the subject of several studies, little information is available on the most important colo- nies in the Southeast Pacific Ocean (Chile). The presence of parasites in these long-lived hosts has been described for the colonies in the Southern Atlantic, but not in those from Chile. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify ectoparasites and hemoparasites associated with both spe- ciesbreedingintheDiegoRam ́{\i}rezArchipelago(56\°S)in Southern Chile. Chicks were examined for ectoparasites during the breeding seasons in 2010 and 2011 (GHA, n = 80; BBA, n = 40). Parasites were collected manually, mounted, and identified to species level. The sex and developmental stage of adult ectoparasites were also determined. Ectoparasites were detected on 78.75 and 32.50\% of GHA and BBA chicks, respectively. A total of 126 ectoparasites were obtained: 103 Ixodes uriae ticks (GHA 79.62\%, BBA 20.38\%); 22 Parapsyllus longicornis\ Austromenopon affine louse (found on GHA). Diego Ram ́{\i}rez represents a new record and distribution range for I. uriae and A. affine. The presence of hemoparasites was explored on blood smears for GHA (n = 26) and BBA (n = 119), but none were recorded in either of these albatrosses.\ Keywords Hemoparasite ? Flea ? Louse ? Seabird ? Southern Ocean ? Tick\ Introduction\ The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys, BBA) and Grey-headed Albatross (Thalassarche chrysos- toma, GHA) are long-lived seabirds distributed in the waters of the Southern Hemisphere. Almost the entire global population of BBA (*99\%) and the greater portion of GHA numbers (*85\%) reside in islands located in the SW Atlantic and SE Pacific regions of the Southern Ocean (Robertson et al. 2007). The Diego Ram ́{\i}rez Archipelago supports the largest numbers of BBA and almost the entire population of GHA in Chile, carrying *20 and *23\% of global numbers, respectively (Robertson et al. 2007). BBA is the more abundant albatross species in the archipelago, with GHA breeding around the margins of BBA colonies or in separated groups (Robertson et al. 2007). In Diego Ram ́{\i}rez, these two species have nesting densities of 0.01 and 0.60 nests m-2, respectively (Suazo unpubl. data). During the breeding season, BBA and GHA arrive in late August and early September, respectively, and leave in April (BBA) and in the first half of May (GHA), entering their nonbreeding seasons (Suazo unpubl. data).
