Abstract: | Reproductive potentials of avian Ischnocera reportedly differ considerably. Some species are distinctly fast breeder than others. An ischnoceran louse, Brueelia plocea (infesting Common Baya, Ploceus philippinus) was subjected to in vitro experimentation. The data obtained was used to construct the life table and to determine its intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm). The value of rm was determined as 0.045. At this rate, the population of B. plocea is supposed to be double after 15.41 days, indicating that it is moderate breeder.
