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 carried out in the Kızılırmak Delta Cernek Bird Ringing Station, Central Black Sea Region, during August and September 2020, to survey the louse species found on shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes). A total of 241 birds belonging to 13 species were searched for chewing lice. Eleven species in six genera of the family Scolopacidae (Actitis hypoleucos, Arenaria interpres, Calidris alba, Calidris alpina, Calidris falcinellus, Calidris ferruginea, Calidris minuta, Gallinago gallinago, Tringa glareola, Tringa totanus, Xenus cinereus) and two species in one genus of the family Charadriidae (Charadrius dubius, Charadrius hiaticula) were examined. Birds were caught alive with mist-nets, ringed, searched for lice, and released. A total of 153 birds (63.49%) were infested with lice belonging to 16 species, five amblycerans: Actornithophilus bicolor, Actornithophilus ochraceus, Actornithophilus totani, Actornithophilus umbrinus, Austromenopon lutescens, and eleven ischnocerans: Carduiceps fulvofasciatus, Carduiceps meinertzhageni, Carduiceps zonarius, Lunaceps actophilus, Lunaceps falcinellus, Lunaceps schismatus, Quadraceps hiaticulae, Quadraceps obscurus, Quadraceps ravus, Quadraceps strepsilaris and Saemundssonia platygaster frater. These eight species are new records for Turkey: Ac. bicolor, Ac. ochraceus, Ca. fulvofasciatus, Lu. falcinellus, Lu. schismatus, Qu. ravus, Qu. strepsilaris and Sa. platygaster frater. In addition, Qudraceps hiaticulae was recorded from Little ringed plovers (Charadrius dubius)  for the first time in the world in this study. According the lice checklist of wild birds in Turkey, a total of 188 bird species examined and 122 of them were infested, and a total of 217 chewing lice species has been recorded.

Study Objectives: Ectoparasites, such as chewing lice, fleas, ticks, mites, etc. can infest domestic and wild birds; and they cause irritation, anorexia, allergic reactions, decrease in animal products, and may transmit some parasitic, rickettsial, and viral diseases to birds. This study was performed to detect ectoparasites on wild birds in the Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation Practice Application and Research Center of Kocatepe University in Afyon (AKUREM).

Methods: In this study, we performed to detect ectoparasites on wild birds between April 2018-2021. In this period, 79 injured or dead wild birds were macroscopically examined for ectoparasites. The ectoparasites collected from the birds were preserved in 70% ethanol, and they were identified to species in the microscopical examination.

Results: In a total of 28 ectoparasite species, twenty-one lice, three ticks, two maggots, one hippoboscid fly, and one mite species were detected on the birds. In this study, Upupicola upupae (Schrank, 1803) was detected in Eurasian hoopoe for the first time in Turkey.

Conclusion: It was concluded that wildlife rehabilitation centers could be suitable units to provide new findings if applied systematically in ectoparasitary studies

Mallophaga are permanent ectoparasites, extremely specific to their hosts thatcan  have  harmful  affects  on  the  host  by  transmitting  a  range  of  pathogens. This  studywas  conducted  at  Lake Tonga  (National  Park  of  El  Kala  in  northeastern Algeria),  between January 2017 and December 2018. Chewing lice collected from 57 live-captured Common Coot Fulica atra (Linnaeus, 1758) (Aves: Gruiformes: Rallidae) were studied. The data was taken from the lake by random collection method. Lice were slide moun-ted and identified. First, the feathers of each bird were inspected macroscopically and alllouse  specimens  observed  were  collected,  moreover  some  of  the  birds  examined  were treated with a synthetic Pyrethroïd spray on the plumage of each body part. Five species of  chewing  lice  (Phthiraptera:  Amblycera,  Ischnocera)  were  isolated  from  hosts: Fulicoffula lurida (Nitzsch, 1818) (Philopteridae), Incidifrons fulicae (Linnaeus, 1758)(Philopteridae), Laemobothrion (Eulaemobothrion) atrum (Nitzsch, 1818) (Menoponidae), Pseudomenopon pilosum (Scopoli, 1763) (Menoponidae) and Rallicola fulicae (Denny,1842)  (Philopteridae).  The  birds  were  found  to  be  infested  with  at  least  one  of  these chewing louse species. Rallicola fulicaewas the most frequent louse species, being pre-sent on all the studied coots. The prevalence, mean intensity of infestation and meanabundance of the lice from Common Coots were recorded. The localization of lice onthe host’s body was also studied. Louse populations exhibited distinct patterns of spatialdistribution on the host, largely as a result of their distinct preferences for certain micro-habitats

Les Mallophages sont des ectoparasites permanents, extrêmement spécifiques àleurs  hôtes,  qui  peuvent  avoir  des  effets  nocifs  sur  l’hôte  en  transmettant  une  gammed’agents pathogènes. Cette étude a été menée sur le lac Tonga (Park National d’El Kala,dans le nord-est de l’Algérie), pendant la période s’étendant de janvier 2017 à décembre2018, où des espèces de Mallophages sur cinquante-sept individus de Foulque macrouleFulica atra(Linnaeus, 1758) (Aves : Gruiformes : Rallidae) capturé vivants et par uneméthode aléatoire de collecte, ont été étudiés. Tout d’abord, les plumes de chaque oiseauont  été  inspectées  macroscopiquement  et  tous  les  spécimens  de  poux  observés  ont  étécollectés. Ensuite, certains des foulques examinés ont été traités avec un spray synthé-tique Pyrethroïde sur le plumage de chaque partie de leur corps. Les poux étaient mon-tés sur des lames et identifiés. Cinq espèces de Mallophages (Amblycera, Ischnocera) –Fulicoffula lurida(Nitzsch, 1818) (Philopteridae), Incidifrons fulicae(Linnaeus, 1758)(Philopteridae), Laemobothrion(Eulaemobothrion)atrum(Nitzsch,    1818)(Menoponidae), Pseudomenopon  pilosum(Scopoli,  1763)  (Menoponidae)  et Rallicolafulicae(Denny,  1842)  (Philopteridae)  –  ont  été  isolés  à  partir  des  hôtes.  Les  oiseauxétaient  infestés  par  au  moins  une  de  ces  espèces  de  poux.  L’espèce  de  poux Rallicolafulicaeétait la plus fréquente chez toutes les foulques étudiées. La prévalence, l’intensi-té moyenne de l’infestation et l’abondance moyenne des poux ont été enregistrées. Lalocalisation des poux sur le corps de l’hôte a également été étudiée, les populations deMallophages ont montré en effet des schémas distincts de répartition spatiale sur l’hôteen grande partie du fait de leurs préférences divergentes pour certains microhabitats.

Studies on bird ectoparasites are little studied in Algeria. The work presented, is interested in ectoparasites attached to the families of Meropidae, namely the European Bee-eater Merops apiaster and Blue- cheeked Bee- eater Merops persicus, these two species are migratory birds that cause damage to the beekeeper. Where it consumes many bees while arriving at the breeding territory. The objective of this work, to determine the ectoparasites of these two species breeding in Algeria. The bee-eaters were captured in April 2018 by beekeepers, using glue on rocks to protect their hives. Captured individuals were transported to the laboratory
to collect the ectoparasites. The 4 bee-eaters examined were infested as follows, 3 species of ectoparasites found on the individuals belonged to the Meropidae family, namely Meromenopon meropis, Meropoecus meropis, and Meropsiella erythropteri. Keywords: Chewing lice, Merops apiaster, Merops persicus, Biskra.
