Full title: Taxonomic studies on chewing louse (Phthiraptera: Insecta) Menopon gallinae (Linnaeus, 1758) collected from fowls (Amblycera: Menoponidae) from Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan

The ectoparasite chewing louse (Phthiraptera: Insecta) Menopon gallinae (Linnaeus, 1758) is generally called shaft louse of fowls.It is recurrently occuring ectoparasite with strong mandibles. The size of parasitic insect issmalland colour ispale yellow which differfrom other population of chewing lice of poultry birds.Itcauses many acute and chronic symptomsby its presence on hosts birds like dissatisfaction, disappointment, irritation, frustration and annoyance behaviors. The type hosts of Menopon gallinae (Linnaeus, 1758) are Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) domestic fowl and Numida meleagris (Linnaeus, 1758) Guinea fowl. The research work was carried out during period January 2019 to March 2020. The data wascollected fromhosts Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) domestic fowl (breeds sonali and misri chickens) and Numida meleagris (Linnaeus, 1758) guinea fowl as new host and new locality records from the study area Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. It is common occuring chewing louseof poultry birds of small and medium size of galliform birds belongs to the family Phasianidae. The chewing louse Menopon gallinae (Linnaeus, 1758) was describedtaxonomically along with genital studies.The main purpose of the present study is to examine infestation and restlessnes of variety ofdomestic fowls because of parasitism with chewing louse which is always harmful for hosts. The study was design to investigate the species of chewing lice on poultry birds which are secondarry source of food by most of the peopleof Sindh province, Pakistan.

The domestic chickens are the most important protein sources of human populations in every part of the world; many parasites' species may affect birds. Ectoparasites can be found practically in all birds. They feed on their body components like blood, feathers. The effects of louse parasitism on birds are often severe, including retarded growth, low egg production and susceptibility to other infections and due to lice possess chewing mouthpart, it feeds on dry skin scales, scab tissues, and feather parts and it causes skin irritation and sucks blood (anemia), discomfort, loss of plumage, and decrease in productivity of the host. The aim of this study is to investigate lice genera and create the phylogenetic tree among the sequenced lice, using both mitochondrial DNA (COI gene) and nuclear gene (18S rRNA gene). Sequencing data were aligned with the sequences available in the NCBI GenBank. From October 2017 until July 2018, two hundred outdoor local chickens from three governorates (Duhok, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah), were examined for lice collection. After the morphological identification of the lice, the total genomic DNA of each louse was extracted individually and universal primers L6625, H7005 were used to amplify the DNA of mitochondrial gene COI (Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I) and three designed specific primers (18SrRSHM1, 18SrRSHM2 and 18SrRSHM3) were applied to amplify the DNA of the nuclear gene 18S rRNA. Sequencing DNA results were submitted to the GenBank, For the first time in Iraq, twelve species of chicken lice have been submitted in a GenBank with accession numbers of MN531684 from Menopon gallinae; MN524167, MN588078, MN588079 belonged to the species of Menacanthus stramineus; MN524168, MN524182, MN588080 belonged to the species of Goniocotes gallinae; MN524180, MN588092 belonged to the species of Lipeurus caponis; MN524181, MN588091 belonged to the species of Goniocotes gigas and MN588089 belonged to the species of Goniodes dissimilis.

Assessment of ectoparasitic infestation in chickens raised under intensive care system was un- dertaken to determine their prevalence in three poultry farms in the Sunyani West District of Ghana from December, 2011 to April, 2012. With the aid of a magnifying glass, various body areas of chickens were examined for the presence of ectoparasites. All matured chickens aged 72 to 82 weeks harboured lice species identified to be Menacanthus stramineus and Menopon galli- nae. Co-infestations with chicken mite, Dermanyssusgallinae, in 43.8% and 36.5% of matured chickens from Farms 2 and 3 respectively were observed. However, lower lice infestation in growers aged 24 to 40 weeks from Farms 1 (72%), 2 (62.7%) and 3 (73.3%), and no mite infesta- tion were observed. All growers from the three farms had significantly higher prevalence in the ventral, wing, cloacal and tail areas compared with femoral, head and neck areas of their bodies. In Farm 1, the cloacal and tail areas of chickens had significantly higher prevalence than the head and neck areas (χ2 (1) = 176.74, p< 0.001). The study revealed high prevalence of ectopara- sitic infestation in chickens of all age groups in all the poultry farms. This threatens their health and productive potential as well as the viability of the poultry industry. Regular examination of the highly infested body areas may help poultry farmers detect and control ectoparasitic infesta- tion or re-infestation early to maintain good health and increase the productive potential of chickens in the Sunyani West District.

Abstract in English:

The objective of this study was to confirm and update previous records of Phthiraptera in domestic and ornamental birds of Chile, through the examination of the plumage of the birds. The presence of Menopon gallinae, Goniodes gigas, Goniocotes gallinae and Menacanthus stramineus species
on the domestic fowl Gallus gallus domesticus was confirmed, and the Menacanthus pallidulus is reported for the first time in Chile. In ornamental birds, seven species of lice were reported for the first time in Chile: M. stramineus in wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), Goniodes pavonis and Amrysidea minuta in the Indian Peafowl, Goniocotes chrysocephalus and Oxylipeurus colchicus in the Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), and Anaticola anseris and Trinoton anserinum in the Greylag Goose (Anser anser).
