Here, we describe a new genus of lice (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera) in the Oxylipeurus-complex, parasitising galliform hosts in the genera Tragopan Cuvier, 1829. This genus, Pelecolipeurusgen. nov., is separated from other members of the complex by the unique shape of the male subgenital plate and stylus, the male genitalia and other characters. The only previously-known species in the genus is Lipeurus longus Piaget, 1880, which is here tentatively re-described as Pelecolipeurus longus (Piaget, 1880), based on specimens from a non-type host, Tragopan temminckii (Gray, 1831). In addition, we describe a new species, Pelecolipeurus fujianensissp. nov., based on specimens from Tragopan caboti (Gould, 1857). An overview of the distribution patterns of ischnoceran lice on galliforms is presented, which suggests that host phylogeny, host biogeography and host biotope, as well as elevation of host range, may all be important factors that have structured louse communities on landfowl. We transfer the genus Afrilipeurus from the Oxylipeurus-complex to the Lipeurus-complex and include an emended key to the Oxylipeurus-complex.

The Northern Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus) is a valuable upland game bird in Oklahoma that has been suffering from severe and ongoing population decline. In this study, we evaluated the health of bobwhite quail across western Oklahoma through necropsy and screening for selected pathogens and parasites.  A total of 206 bobwhite were sampled, processed, and were found to be in overall good condition with ample muscle mass and visible fat stores. Many pathogens screened for were not found; however, several pathogens or protozoan parasites of potential importance were detected including Toxoplasma gondii and Avian Adenovirus. Although numerous species of external, intramuscular, intraorbital and gastrointestinal parasites were observed, the prevalence and intensities were low. However, two parasites (Aulonocephalus pennula and Raillietina) were associated with reduced fat stores. Establishing baseline health data can help guide management strategies to preserve existing populations of the Northern Bobwhite Quail in Oklahoma.

The Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) has been undergoing a range-wide population decline. Potential causes for declines across its historic range have been investigated for decades and include habitat loss and fragmentation and a variety of parasitic and infectious diseases. Although there have been studies on bobwhite ecology in Oklahoma, USA, relatively little is known about parasites and pathogens in the region. We evaluated the health of free-ranging bobwhites from nine sites in western Oklahoma. From 2018 to 2020, 206 bobwhites were evaluated for gross and microscopic lesions and tested for selected pathogens. In general, bobwhites were in good nutritional condition with ample muscle mass and fat stores. No significant gross lesions were observed in any bobwhite and no significant histologic lesions were detected in a subset. There was no evidence of infection with or exposure to reticuloendotheliosis virus, West Nile virus, respiratory Mycoplasmataceae species, Pasteurella multocida, intestinal Eimeria spp., or oral Trichomonas spp. Several pathogens of potential concern were detected, including avian adenovirus (8.6%), Toxoplasma gondii (2.3%), and haemosporidians (a Haemoproteus sp. (1.5%), Leucocytozoon schoutedeni (1.5%), and Plasmodium homopolare haplotype 2 [lineage LAIRI01; 3.6%]). Physaloptera sp. (12%) and Sarcocystis sp. (1%) were detected in the breast muscle. Low intraspecific genetic diversity was noted for Physaloptera sp., and sequences were most similar to Physaloptera sequences from bobwhites and grasshoppers (Orthoptera) in Texas. Low intensities of chewing lice, chiggers, and ticks were observed. A subset of bobwhites had evidence of exposure to selected toxicants and heavy metals; a small number had low levels of iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and copper, which were not considered diagnostically relevant. In general, bobwhites from western Oklahoma appeared to be in good health with a low diversity of pathogens detected, but future work is needed to understand potentially changing disease risks for this population.

Climate change will impact ecosystems as abiotic factors such as temperature and humidity change. Changes in ecosystems will lead to changes in species composition as species either relocate, adapt to their new environment, or go extinct. It is only possible to make robust predictions about how climate change will influence the distribution of species if information about their natural history is known. There is, however, a gap in our knowledge about the natural history of many organisms, which makes it difficult to predict how these species will be influenced by changes in the environment. Organisms such as parasites, are understudied even though they represent a large percentage of eukaryotic biodiversity and can impact their hosts. With ectoparasites on doves and pigeons (Columbiformes), it has been found that humidity may influence their populations, with more ectoparasites being found in regions with higher humidity than in regions with lower humidity. Unfortunately, there is a sampling bias with more surveys of parasites being carried out in humid regions than arid regions.

To better understand how parasites will be influenced by climate change, I conducted surveys of ectoparasites found on birds in urban and montane Utah. The prevalence of chewing lice was 10% in the montane region and 5.6% in the urban region.
Although many of the birds sampled are common to Utah, new louse host records were found in each survey, highlighting how understudied these ectoparasites are.

For Chapter 3, faunal surveys of birds and their ectoparasitic lice were used to investigate how likely changes in humidity will influence ectoparasite pressure on birds. Louse prevalence was significantly positively correlated with humidity, and louse
abundance tended to increase with humidity. The results from this study imply that the number of lice will decrease as areas become arid and increase in areas becoming wetter. However, more surveys should be carried out in regions with lower humidity so that more robust predictions can be made on how climate change could influence ectoparasite populations.

A new subgenus and three new species of parasitic lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) in the Oxylipeurus-complex are described and illustrated. Forcipurellus new subgenus is part of the genus Reticulipeurus Kéler, 1958, and only includes species parasitic on partridges of the genus Arborophila Hodgson, 1837. The new species are: Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) diki new species ex Arborophila rubrirostris (Salvadori, 1879); Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) bracatus new species ex Arborophila atrogularis (Blyth, 1849); Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) longistylus new species ex Arborophila rufogularis guttata Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 and two other host subspecies. In addition, we redescribe the species Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) formosanus (Uchida, 1917) ex Arborophila crudigularis (Swinhoe, 1864) and Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) nitzschi Kéler, 1958 ex Arborophila torqueola torqueola (Valenciennes, 1825) and Arborophila torqueola millardi (Baker, 1921). Also, we briefly discuss four additional species that could not be described based on the specimens examined. A key to identify all species in the subgenus Forcipurellus is provided, as well as an emendation to include Forcipurellus in a previously published key to the Oxylipeurus-complex.

The lice of the Oxylipeurus-complex parasitising the turkey, Meleagris gallopavo, belong to a previously undescribed genus. In this paper, we describe this genus as Valimia new genus, redescribe two of its species: Lipeurus polytrapezius Burmeister, 1838 and Oxylipeurus corpulentus Clay, 1938, and describe the new species Valimia necopinata, discovered during our examination of samples of the two known species. This occurrence represents the first record of three congeneric species of chewing lice parasitising the same host individual.

Eyeworms (Oxyspirura petrowi) and caecal worms (Aulonocephalus pennula) are heteroxenous nematodes being investigated as contributors to the decline of the Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter Bobwhite), an iconic game bird. Researchers have documented declines of over 4% annually across the range and declines in historic strongholds including the Rolling Plains of Texas. While climatic factors and habitat change were considered to be leading contributors, parasitic infection is gaining attention as a potentially important factor. Researchers have documented infection rates of eyeworms in Bobwhite as high as 90% and caecal worms as high as 100%. Furthermore, eyeworms have been documented in a Curve-billed Thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre), Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos), and Scaled Quail (Callipepla squamata) from the Rolling Plains. This is likely due to their diets, which include insect intermediate hosts of eyeworms. However, due to  extremely few comprehensive parasite studies concerning these species and previous passerine helminth reports being compiled from incidental bycatch, the extent of shared parasitism between quail and passerines in the Rolling Plains is unknown. Thus, the potential for passerines specifically to serve as reservoir hosts or means of dispersal to introduce parasites to naïve populations may currently be overlooked. To investigate this possibility and further document shared parasitism between passerines and quail, full parasite surveys on Bobwhite, Scaled Quail, Northern Mockingbirds, Curve-billed Thrashers, and Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) were conducted. Birds were trapped with baited double funnel traps at three study sites in the Rolling Plains from March to October 2019. After which, specimens were fully necropsied and both endo and ectoparasite prevalence were assessed. These assessments have demonstrated instances of coinfection, with one of the most prominent cohabitations occurring between eyeworms and lice across all species. In addition to this, data elicited from this survey contributes to broadening the current knowledge of parasitic infection concerning the study species. The findings of this study are a valuable baseline for future studies given the passerines’ potential to serve as reservoir hosts and disperse parasites.

Background and Aim: Biting lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) are ectoparasites that play important roles in the transmission of disease agents that infect turkeys and impact turkey productivity. This study aimed to determine the diversity of lice that infest turkeys in the Central Java Province and the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Materials and Methods: Lice sampling was conducted at 16 different locations from April 2019 to June 2019 in turkeys aged 4 months to 2 years. The samples were stored in 70% alcohol and were identified using avian louse keys. The morphology of the specimens was macroscopically and microscopically evaluated, and the resulting data were descriptively and qualitatively analyzed.

Results: A total of 2505 lice were collected, and two families and five genera of lice were identified. Three lice genus members of the Philopteridae family (Lipeurus, Oxylipeurus, and Chelopistes) and two genera of the Menoponidae family (Colpocephalum and Menacanthus) were identified. Lipeurus was the most frequently identified genera in turkeys, whereas Menacanthus was the most rarely identified one. The White Holland breed had the highest number of lice infestations, whereas the Jersey Buff breed exhibited the highest diversity of lice genera. The average number of lice infestations was higher in male turkeys than in female turkeys.

Conclusion: The occurrence of ectoparasites in domestic turkeys indicates that the existence and diversity of lice genera in the study location can be influenced by turkey type, turkey maintenance system, enclosure sanitation measures, lack of strategic ectoparasite control, and environmental factors.

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).

Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) were evaluated as potential hosts of ixodid ticks, lice, and Lyme disease spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato [s.l.]) in three state parks in Sonoma County, California, USA, during 2003 and 2004. In total, 113 birds were collected, 50 (44.2%) of which were found to be infested by 361 ixodid ticks representing three species: the western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus, n=248), the rabbit tick (Haemaphysalis leporispalustris, n=112), and one American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis). Year-round the prevalence of all ticks combined was unrelated to the age or sex of turkeys, and the prevalence of infestation by I. pacificus (35.4%) was significantly higher than it was for either H. leporispalustris (14.2%) or D. variabilis (0.9%). The proportion of the two prevalent tick species differed significantly by life stage with 86.3% of the I. pacificus and 82.1% of the H. leporispalustris enumerated being nymphs and larvae, respectively. Three species of lice were collected, including the chicken body louse Menacanthus stramineus (12.5% of total), Chelopistes meleagridis (37.5% of total), and Oxylipeurus polytrapezius (50% of total). The records for all three ticks are the first ever from wild turkeys, and those for the lice are the first from this host in the far-western United States. Wild turkeys potentially were exposed to the feeding activities of I. pacificus nymphs infected with B. burgdorferi s.l. as 15% of host-seeking nymphs (n=200) collected in woodlands used by turkeys as roosting or foraging areas were infected mainly with B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.). However, only one (1%) of 90 turkey blood specimens tested by PCR contained B. burgdorferi s.s., and four in vitro, complement-protein assays demonstrated that domestic turkey serum is moderately bacteriolytic for this spirochete. Taken together, these findings indicate that wild turkeys are important avian hosts of I. pacificus nymphs, but they appear to be inconsequential hosts of B. burgdorferi s.l.

The ischnoceran chewing lice Chelopistes lervicola (Clay, 1941) (Goniodidae) and Lerwoecus meinertzhageni (Clay, 1938) (Philopteridae sensu lato, Degeeriella complex) live on the Snow Partridge Lerwa lerwa (Hodgson, 1833) from the Himalayas, which has until now been included in the Phasianidae. Reasons are given for creating the provisionally monotypic Lerwoecus nov. gen. for "Lagopoecus meinertzhageni Clay". Both species are apparently members of the endemic New World fauna, since their closest recent relatives are found only in the Nearctic and the Neotropics; the authenticity of their host origin has been confirmed several times. The former case is Chelopistes meleagridis (only known from Meleagris gallopavo and M. ocellata) along with the (here revalidated) species-rich Trichodomedea Carriker on Cracidae and Odontophoridae, while the latter is Colinicola Carriker on the Odontophoridae. In the light of this parasitophyletic finding, the position of the Snow Partridge within the Phasianidae (pheasants, subfamily partridges Perdicinae) is called into question for the first time and it is postulated that the species could have its roots in the complex of families composed of the Meleagrididae (turkeys), Odontophoridae (New World quails), and Cracidae (guans, curassows, and chachalacas). In the course of this paper the genera Chelopistes and Trichodomedea on the one hand, and Lagopoecus Waterston, Colinicola, and Lerwoecus nov. gen. on the other are compared in a differential diagnosis and their geographic-hospitalic distribution outlined. The publication of the descriptions of Colinicola Carriker and Trichodomedea Carriker in the same work, with a total of 22 nova species and 12 nova subspecies was not in 1945, as generally assumed in the literature, but in 1946. This emendation has no nomenclatural consequences. The often published supposition that Chelopistes is more closely related to the lipeurids esp. "Oxylipeurus" (Philopteridae s. l.), which inhabit the flight feathers, than it is to the Goniodidae, cannot be supported from the viewpoint of comparative morphology. Reasons are given why Lagopoecus californicus (Kellogg & Chapman, 1899) and L. gambelii Emerson, 1949 should be moved to the genus Colinicola Carriker.

The higher level phylogenetic relationships within the avian feather lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) are extremely problematic. Here we investigate the relationships of I family (Goniodidae), sometimes recognized as distinct within Ischnocera, using parsimony and likelihood analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. These data support monophyly for a restricted definition of traditional Goniodidae, but recognition of this family would result in paraphyly of the large heterogeneous family Philopteridae. We show that the New World Chelopistes is not related to other members of Goniodidae, despite similarities in morphology, but rather is the sister taxon to Oxylipeurus. Within Goniodidae, genera are divided into those occurring on Galliformes (the Goniodes complex) and those occurring on Columbiformes (the Coloceras complex). Within the well-sampled Coloceras complex, or Physconelloidinae, several groups are identified. However, traditionally recognized genera such as Coloceras and Physconelloides appear to be paraphyletic. Whereas the phylogeny of Goniodidae reflects some aspects of host relationships, biogeography also influences coevolutionary history.

Dyar's and Przibram-Megusar's rules were used to check the growth progression of the following biting lice (Mallophaga): Amyrsidea megalosoma and Uchida phasiani (Amblycera: Menoponoidae), Goniocotes chrysocephalus and Zlotorzyckella colchici (Ischnocera: Goniodidae), Lipeurus maculosus maculosus and Reticulipeurus mesopelios colchicus (Ischnocera: Lipeuridae) and Lagopoecus colchicus (Ischnocera: Degeeriellidae) - the parasites of pheasants (Phasianus colchicus L.). It was shown that the dimensions of the head and body, particularly the head width, as the most suitable measureemnts, follows a regular geometrical progression. The calculated values according to Dyar's rule approximate very closely to the observed measurements in all examined species. In the case of A. megalosoma, G. chrysocephalus and L. colchicus - they are identical. Przibram-Megusar's rule revealed on latent division in the head width as well as in body of Z. colchici. The case of R. m. colchicus only the measurements of body indicate the extra division.

The health status of wild northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) from Lyon County, Kansas, was evaluated by conducting comprehensive health assessments on 25 birds. Gross lesions indicative of avian pox, ulcerative enteritis, and quail bronchitis were not present. Serologic tests for antibodies to Salmonella pullorum, Salmonella gallinarum, Pasteurella multocida, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Mycoplasma synoviae, and avian adenoviruses were all negative. Intestinal coccidia (Eimeria spp.) were found in 36% of the birds. Only three species of helminth parasites were found: Dispharynx nasuta in two birds, Cyrnea colini in one bird, and larval Physaloptera sp. in four birds. Arthropod parasites (ticks, lice, mites, and/ or chiggers) were present on 96% of the birds examined. Compared with wild bobwhite populations in the southeastern United States, the diversity, prevalence, and intensities of microbial and parasitic agents were low.

Discriminant analysis was used to determine the most suitable metrical characters for separating the nymphal instars within and between the following biting lice -A. p. megalosoma and U. phasiani (suborder Amblycera: Menoponoidea ) as well as L. m. maculosus and R. m. colchicus (suborder Ischnocera Lipeuridae). . It was found that dimensions of head, body length and in a few cases abdomen width were good discriminators. For the best pair of characters the equations of linear discriminant function were developed and the percentage of agreement with previous identification, based only on chaetotaxy, was estimated.

A complex set of measures of aggregations confirmed the aggregated distributions of all parasite species; in all the series analysed the bird lice distributions fit the negative binomial model. Two parameters a and D of Poulin were correlated, i.e. high values of a were associated with low values of D.

Ectoparasites of the california quail (Callipepla californica) in Ñuble province, Chile and their correlation with the sex, age and the habitat. A total of 114 quails (Callipepla californica) were collected and the following ectoparasites were isolated in Ñuble Province (Chile), between November 1994 and April 1995 (prevalence in %): Epicolinus elipticus (28.1%), Zlotozyckella stefani (60.5%), Megninia glynglimura (100%), Pseudolichus sp. (43.0%), Amblyomma sp. (I3.2%) and a mite from the Trombiculidae family (11.4%). The parasite prevalences presented no correlation with age (juveniles and adults), sex, and capture area (humid and arid). The ectoparasites found represent the first recorded on this host in Chile.
