Abstract:

Of the 26 Red-backed Shrike (Lanius collurio) sampled with the aim of characterizing insect ectoparasites, five birds were parasitized by louse flies. Two species were identified, Ornithophila metallica and Ornithomya fringillina. The first species is reported for the first time in the Red-backed Shrike, and the second represents a new host association in the Iberian Peninsula. No lice were detected.

Összefoglalás A megvizsgált 26 tövisszúró gébics (Lanius collurio) közül öt volt kullancsléggyel parazitálva. Ezek két fajhoz (Ornithophila metallica, Ornithomya fringillina) tartoztak. Az első fajt először mutatták ki tövisszúró gébicsen, a második fajjal alkotott parazita-gazda kapcsolat pedig az Ibériai-félszigeten először bukkant fel.
