This study was carried out to determine chewing lice species of the wild birds, which were brought to the Veterinary Health, Practice and Research Center and Wild Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Center of Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, between May 2018-August 2022. For this purpose, 75 wild birds injured or sick, which needed medical treatment when they arrived at the hospital, were examined for chewing lice. A total of 356 lice specimens were collected, representing 148 males, 157 females and 51 nymphs. The majority of the bird lice collected (317 out of 356) belonged to Amlyceran suborder, while a small number of them (39 out of 356) were obtained in the Ischnoceran suborder. Piagetiella titan (47.8%) detected in Pelecanus onocrotalus was the most common louse species. This was followed by Laemobothrion maximum (16.0%) detected in Clanga pomarina, Buteo rufinus, Circaetus gallicus. Ciconiphilus quadripustulatus (16.0%), Neophilopterus incompletus (10.4%) and Colpocephalum zebra (7.3%) species were detected in Ciconia ciconia. Other species (Colpocephalum ecaudati, Colpocephalum nanum, Pectinopygus forficulatus) were in small numbers (2.5%). Colpocephalum ecaudati found on black kite (Milvus migrans) was reported for the first time in Türkiye. The results of this study contributed to the lice fauna obtained from wild birds in Türkiye.

This study was performed to detect chewing lice on some birds investigated in Eskişehir and Konya provinces in Central Anatolian Region of Turkey between 2008 and 2010 years. For this aim, 31 bird specimens belonging to 23 bird species which were injured or died were examined for the louse infestation. Firstly, the feathers of each bird were inspected macroscopically, all observed louse specimens were collected and then the examined birds were treated with a synthetic pyrethroid spray (Biyo avispray-Biyoteknik®). The collected lice were placed into the tubes with 70% alcohol and mounted on slides with Canada balsam after being cleared in KOH 10%. Then the collected chewing lice were identified under the light microscobe. Eleven out of totally 31 (35.48%) birds were found to be infested with at least one chewing louse species. Eighteen lice species were found belonging to 16 genera on infested birds. Thirteen of 18 lice species; Actornithophilus piceus piceus (Denny, 1842); Anaticola phoenicopteri (Coincide, 1859); Anatoecus pygaspis (Nitzsch, 1866); Colpocephalum heterosoma Piaget, 1880; C. polonum Eichler and Zlotorzycka, 1971; Fulicoffula lurida (Nitzsch, 1818); Incidifrons fulicia (Linnaeus, 1758); Meromenopon meropis Clay ve Meinertzhagen, 1941; Meropoecus meropis (Denny, 1842); Pseudomenopon pilosum (Scopoli, 1763); Rallicola fulicia (Denny, 1842); Saemundssonia lari Fabricius, O, 1780), and Trinoton femoratum Piaget, 1889 have been recorded from Turkey for the first time.

Within the study period, 54 ducks, which belonged to seven different avian species (teal, garganey, shoveler, northern pintail, mallard, ruddy shelduck, common shelduck) and were found either alive or wounded or had been shot by hunters, were examined for the presence of lice. After examined macroscopically for the presence of ectoparasites, all ducks were placed into a white tub and medicated with propoxur or tetramethrin. The louse specimens collected from the animals were preserved in 70% alcohol, cleared in 10% KOH, passed through a graded series of alcohol, and mounted in Canada balsam for species identification by light microscopy. Of the 54 ducks examined, 29 (53.70%) were found to have been infested with lice. In total, eight louse species were identified, 4 (Anatoecus regina, Anaticola magnificus, Holomenopon tadornae, Trinoton querquedulae) of which had infested the ruddy shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea), 2 (Anaticola crassicornis, Trinoton sp.) of which had infested the common shelduck (Tadorna tadorna), 4 (A. crassicornis, Anatoecus dentatus, Anatoecus icterodes, Trinoton querquedulae) of which had infested the teal (Anas crecca), 1 (T. querquedulae) of which had infested the garganey (Anas querquedula), 3 (A. crassicornis, T. querquedulae and Holomenopon sp.) of which had infested the shoveler (Anas clypeata), and 4 (Anaticola crassicornis, Anatoecus icterodes, Trinoton querquedulae, Holomenopon clypeilargum) of which had infested the northern pintail (Anas acuta). Of the identified louse species listed above, A. regina, A. magnificus, H. tadornae and H. clypeilargum are reported for the first time from avian species in Turkey. On the global scene, Trinoton querquedulae is reported for the first time from the ruddy shelduck and Trinoton sp. is reported for the first time from the common shelduck. (Turkish) Özet Bu araştırma Akşehir Gölü’ndeki ördekler üzerindeki bit türlerini belirlemek amacıyla Eylül 2010-Kasım 2011 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Bu süre içerisinde canlı, yaralı veya ölü olarak bulunan ya da av sezonunda avcılar tarafından avlanan yedi kuş türüne (Çamurcun, Çıkrıkçın, Kaşıkkaga, Kılkuyruk, Yeşilbaş, Angıt, Suna) ait 54 ördek bit yönünden incelenmiştir. Ördeklerin tamamı ektoparazitler yönünden çıplak gözle incelenmiş, sonra da beyaz bir küvet içerisine alınarak propoxur veya tetrametrin ile ilaçlanmıştır. Toplanan bitler % 70 alkol içerisine alınmış, %10’luk KOH ile saydamlaştırıldıktan sonra alkol serilerinden geçirilerek Kanada balsamı ile lam üzerine yapıştırılmışlar ve ışık mikroskobunda incelenerek teşhis edilmişlerdir. İncelenen 54 ördeğin 29 (%53.70)’u bitlerle enfeste bulunmuş, Angıt (Tadorna ferruginea)’dan dört (Anatoecus regina, Anaticola magnificus, Holomenopon tadornae, Trinoton querquedulae), Suna (Tadorna tadorna)’dan iki (Anaticola crassicornis, Trinoton sp.), Çamurcun (Anas crecca)’dan dört (A. crassicornis, Anatoecus dentatus, Anatoecus icterodes, Trinoton querquedulae), Çıkrıkçın (Anas querquedula)’dan bir (T. querquedulae), Kaşıkgaga (Anas clypeata)’dan üç (A. crassicornis, T. querquedulae ve Holomenopon sp.) ve Kılkuyruk (Anas acuta)’dan dört (Anaticola crassicornis, Anatoecus icterodes, Trinoton querquedulae, Holomenopon clypeilargum) olmak üzere toplam dokuz tür tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden A. regina, A. magnificus ve H. tadornae, H. clypeilargum Türkiye’deki kanatlı hayvanlardan ilk kez bildirilmektedir. Trinoton querquedulae tüm dünyada Angıt’ta ilk kez saptanmış, yine tüm dünyada Suna’dan ilk kez Trinoton sp. kaydedilmiştir.1 aDik, Bilal1 aUslu, Uğur uhttp://phthiraptera.info/sites/phthiraptera.info/files/61588.pdf03827nas a2200145 4500008004100000245010200041210006900143300001200212490000700224520330600231100001503537700003603552700002403588856006903612 2011 eng d00aChewing lice (Phthiraptera) species found on birds along the Aras River, Iğdır, Eastern Turkey.0 aChewing lice Phthiraptera species found on birds along the Aras  a567-5730 v173 aChewing lice were sampled from the birds captured and ringed between September-October 2009 at the Aras River (Yukarı Çıyrıklı, Tuzluca, Iğdır) bird ringing station in eastern Turkey. Eighty-one bird specimens of 23 species were examined for lice infestation. All lice collected from the birds were placed in separate tubes with 70% alcohol. Louse specimens were cleared in 10% KOH, mounted in Canada balsam on glass slides and identified under a binocular light microscope. Sixteen out of 81 birds examined (19,75%) were infested with at least one chewing louse specimens. A total of 14 louse species were found on birds. These were: Austromenopon durisetosum (Blagoveshtchensky, 1948), Actornithophilus multisetosus (Blagoveshtchensky, 1940), Anaticola crassicornis (Scopoli, 1763), Cummingsiella ambigua (Burmeister, 1838), Menacanthus alaudae (Schrank, 1776), Menacanthus curuccae (Schrank, 1776), Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838), Menacanthus pusillus (Niztsch, 1866), Meromenopon meropis (Clay&Meinertzhagen, 1941), Myrsidea picae (Linnaeus, 1758), Pseudomenopon scopulacorne (Denny, 1842), Rhynonirmus scolopacis (Denny, 1842), and Trinoton querquedulae (Linnaeus, 1758). Four specimens of Holomenopon sp. collected from Nortern Pintail (Anas acuta), one specimen of Menacanthus sp. collected from European Robin (Erithacus rubeculae), and Menacanthus sp. collected from Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula) were not identified. Seven louse species; A. multisetosus, C. ambigua, M. alaudae, M. curuccae, M. eurysternus, M. picae, and P. scopulacorne are first records for Turkey.
