Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of Mallophaga species on wild partridges in the Elaziğ region. We inspected 68 partridges for Mallophaga species between November and January from 1996-2000. At least one species of Mallophaga was found on 48 partridges. Three species of Mallophaga were found on infested partridges. These species, were Goniodes dispar (Burmeister, 1838), Goniocotes pusillus (Nitzsch, in Giebel, 1866) and Menacanthus lyali (Rodriguez Caabeiro et al, 1983). These three Mallophaga species have not been reported before in Turkey.
