Abstract:

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.
