Abstract:

Two white pelicans at the garden of a restaurant in Beyşehir, a county of Konya province were examined for the presence of ectoparasites. Nine lice were collected from the oral cavity of one of them. They were identified as Piagetiella titan. Diffuse erosions, erosive ulcers covered by dried yellowish-brown exudate and petechial haemorrhages were observed in oral mucosa.
