Abstract

Although the idea of conserving parasites as part of biodiversity is not new, these in general and lice in particular, are not included in the threatened list of invertebrate fauna. Assuming that the conservation status of a lice species is similar to that of its host, the number of threatened lice within the Spanish entomofauna was estimated based on the known host-lice assemblages. The lice parasitizing many of the Spanish birds and mammals are unknown. Overall, I found 6 extinct (EX) species; 4 critically endangered (CR); 15 endangered (EN), 7 vulnerable (VU) and 1 species near threatened (NT), at regional level. Since the status of hosts varies through time and space, it, (together with those of their lice, must be periodically updated. In addition to a number of reasons that justify the conservation of parasites, lice deserve being conserved, particularly, because of their scientific value.

Correspondence in 1936 between the prolific ornithological collector M. A. Carriker Jr. and C. M. B. Cadwalader, director of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, reveals that Carriker, as well as certain other collectors, had abandoned the use of arsenic in specimen preparation by the early twentieth century and its disadvantages are detailed. The correspondence also discloses a professional rift between Carriker and other ornithological staff at the Academy that had important ramifications for Carriker's career.

Despite the widespread belief that an extensive body of knowledge exists for the sucking lice (Anoplura), some of their common, Eurasian or even cosmopolitan species still lack complete taxonomic descriptions, especially those for their nymphal stages. This applies especially to the most common rodent parasites: the lice of the genus Hoplopleura. In Europe, only two of the five most common Hoplopleura species have full taxonomic characteristics with a description of the nymphal stages. This study enriches the current state of knowledge for another species, Hoplopleura longula and presents the first description of its nymphal stages. The study includes five rare louse specimens (two nymphs I, one nymph II, two nymphs III) of H. longula collected from 63 Eurasian harvest mice Micromys minutus. The collected lice were fixed and preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol solution and then placed in polyvinyl-lactophenol to form total preparations. Only two of the five species found in Eurasia (H. acanthopus, H. affinis, H. captiosa, H. edentula and H. longula) have been given full taxonomic descriptions, including immature stages. This paper presents a description of the nymphal stages of H. longula (described for the first time).

Abstract: Türkiye is a natural land bridge connecting Europe and Asia, and has a rich terrestrial mammalian fauna, with more than 150 species within the seven orders. However, there is limited information on ectoparasites of wild animals, especially carnivores, in Türkiye. In the present study, we provide the first data of ectoparasites of Turkish stone marten, Martes foina (Erxleben). A total of 38 ectoparasite specimens were collected from two road-killed stone martens in two different localities in Tokat province. Here, the presence of the genus Stachiella Kéler (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in Türkiye was reported for the first time, based on two specimens (1 male and 1 nymph) of Stachiella retusa (Burmeister). In addition, three flea (Insecta: Siphonaptera), namely Monopsyllus sciurorum sciurorum (Schrank) (1 male), Pulex irritans L. (1 female), Chaetopsylla rothschildi Kohaut (3 males, 8 females) and two tick (Acari: Ixodida) species, namely Haemaphysalis erinacei Pavesi (18 males, 4 females), Ixodes redikorzevi Olenev (1 female) were collected from stone martens. All ectoparasitic species are new host-associations for stone marten, M. foina, in Türkiye.

Abstract: Arthropods and helminths of wild carnivores have been studied for more than 60 years in Venezuela; however, information on them is dispersed in various sources. In order to collect such information, we construct a database containing a large part of the records for the country; these were obtained from electronic bibliographic searches and from queries to parasitological collections, forming a list containing a total of 68 species of parasites (33 ectoparasites and 35 endoparasites) in 19 species of carnivores of the 22-species described for Venezuela, representing 86.36% of the order. The species of ectoparasites aremites with 16 spp. (23.53%), lice = 7 spp. (10.29%) and fleas = 10 spp. (14.71%). Among the endoparasitic parasites are trematodes = 2 spp. (2.94%), cestodes = 4 spp. (5.88%), nematodes with 24 spp. (35.29%) and acantocephalans = 5 spp. (7.35%) This is the first compilation of arthropods, and parasitic helminths of carnivores in Venezuela. Protozoa are not included. In order to determine the degree of similarity between carnivore species, dendrograms are elaborated based on the Jaccard similarity index.

The science of paleoparasitology refers to parasitic animals and plants existing both in the recent past (including human history) and more remote periods of life on Earth. The history of paleoparasitology and its development in Old and New World countries is well-known, however, in Russia, the history of this science has hardly been considered. The present paper offers a review of Pleistocene findings of fossil para- sites, parasitizing both mammals and humans, recorded in Russia. New data on the latest research in this field is presented.

Abstract: Lice are highly specialized parasites that spend their entire life cycle on their host. Thus, a particular species of chewing lice is often restricted either to a single host species or to a phylogenetically related species. About 560 species of these insects parasitize mammals exclusively. Cebidicola semiarmatus is one of these species, known to parasitize several primate species of the genus Aloautta. This paper presents the first record of C. semiarmatus parasitizing A. guariba clamintans.

This aim of this study was conducted to evaluate the abundance and diversity ectoparasites associated with mammals in Arignar Anna Zoological Park (AAZP). Ectoparasites are a diverse and highly adapted group of animals that infest the external body of vertebrates. The empirical study was to attempt the first time report of this park (AAZP). We are examined for total of 412 Mammals were analysis throughout the study period. A total of 13 mite’s species belonging to 10 genus, 10 ticks’ species belonging to 5 genus, 5 flea species belonging to 2 genus and 4 lice species belonging to3 genus were collected from our study. The overall prevalence of ectoparasites was significantly higher in cage compare than runs. Statistically calculated the Simpson diversity index was more in cage (0. 98805) of mites were noted. In mammals the prevalence of ticks in cage (85%) and in runs (15%) were recorded. Similarly, the Simpson diversity index of flea was rich in runs (0. 97105) respectively. The prevalence of lice in cage (65%) and in runs (35%) was noted in mammals.

The parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) from the New Zealand Subregion are all listed and annotated with data from both literature records and collections. The current scientific name, its taxonomic history, data on type material, type host, other hosts, geographic distribution within New Zealand and elsewhere, New Zealand literature references and other significant references are given for each species or subspecies. The louse fauna comprises 424 species/subspecies distributed in 101 genera, 14 families and three suborders. Among them, 381 species/subspecies (90%) are from birds, of which 58 taxa are introduced by human agency, and 43 species (10%) are from mammals, of which 37 have been introduced by humans. The total number of species/subspecies includes 22 new records of louse taxa for this country. Six species/subspecies deleted from the New Zealand louse fauna are listed and discussed. A host-parasite list of all the hosts known to harbour lice in the New Zealand Subregion, including 18 new host-louse associations, and a list of bird species which breed in the Subregion but with no lice collected from them yet, are given. Citations to literature references for every publication known to include a record or a mention of a louse from the New Zealand Subregion, and other significant publications dealing with various aspects of louse taxonomy, biology, ecology, phylogeny and evolution are also given.
The New Zealand louse fauna is characterised by (1) low endemicity, with only 11% at species level and 2% at generic level, (2) a high proportion (22.5%) of species introduced by human agency, (3) a very low number of species from native mammals (six or 1.8% of the total fauna), and (4) a greater number of species from seabirds and shorebirds (213 or 56%) than from terrestrial birds (168 or 44%).

A checklist of louse species and subspecies collected from wild or domestic (exotic pets excluded) birds and mammals including humans in Hungary since 1945 is provided. The list is based on formerly published data and includes 279 louse species and subspecies. Their hosts represent 156 bird and 30 mammal species. Additionally, further 550 louse species (and subspecies) are also listed, whose occurrence is likely as judged from geographic and host distribution but have not been detected yet. This paper presents the most complete review of the Hungarian louse fauna.

Lice of mammals spend the entire life cycle in the host hair, thus, the microclimate found near the mammal skin is likely to influence the structure of louse communities. Here we use a comparative approach to examine the effect of mammals’ diving behavior on the taxonomic richness of their lice. We compared the mean genera richness of lice, and – as potential confounding variables – the mean species richness of host, and the mean body mass of host between diving clades and their non-diving sister clades. Louse genera richness was significantly lower in clades of aquatic mammals than on their non-diving sister clades. Host species richness was not significantly different between these clades. Body mass was significantly higher in clades of aquatic mammals, however, the direction of this difference cannot explain the difference in parasite taxonomic richness. This study suggests that mammals’ diving behavior can effectively shape their ectoparasite communities.

Publication in Spanish. Title: Nuevos registros de piojos Trichodectidae (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) para Uruguay.

The lice (Phthiraptera) are a poorly studied group in Uruguay. In this work new contributions for the family Trichodectidae, as well as the listing of all registered species until the moment in the country, are carried. Eutrichophilus cordiceps Mjöberg, 1910, Neotrichodectes chilensis Werneck, 1948, Stachiella fallax (Werneck, 1948) and Trichodectes galictidis Werneck, 1934 are considered new records for the country. Additionally Bovicola caprae (Gurlt, 1843) and Trichodectes canis (De Geer, 1778) are correctly documented and confirmed through material deposited in collection. In this way, the number of Trichodectidae species confirmed for Uruguay rises to 12.
