Abstract:

...An 87.5% of birds were parasitised by one or more of the following louse species: Holomenopon brevithoracicum, Anaticola marginella, Anatoecus dentatus and Anatoecus icterodes, all of them belonging to the Order Phthiraptera. All these species represent new louse records from Magellan geese for Chile, as well as a new host-louse record for A. dentatus on C. picta.
