“…The rodents were Rattus norvegicus, Rattus rattus alexandrinus, Rattus rattus frugivourus, Acomys cahirinus and Mus musculus.The authors noticed also that rodents in Suez Governorate were the highly ectoparasites infested ones. The result of the occurrence of P. spinulosa in rat colonies in two selected animal houses is in agreement with the study done by Koyee et al (2011), in which, they mentioned that the distribution of lice on the rats was very irregular, even when rats were caught at the same time and on the same premises. According to the study of Abo-Elmaged and Desoky (2013), the relation of inter-specific between the rodent species and their ectoparasites showed that not specific relationship between the rodent species and ectoparasites species, and the population fluctuation of rodent ectoparasites took the same trend of the population fluctuation of the rodent species.…”

The ectoparasites arthropods of rodent infesting animals and human have gained much attention in Egypt. The most important rodents in Egypt are Roof rate, Rattus rattus and Norway rate, Rattus norvegicus. Parasitological survey of these rodent species in El-Menofia Governorate (different regions) during summer season, 2016 was infested with various species from arthropods such as 6 mite species, 2 tick species and one lice species. The collected mites were Dermanyssus sanguineus (Dermanyssidae), Orithonysus bacoti (Macronyssidae), Haemolaelaps glasgowi, Laelaps nuttalli (Laelapidae); Radfordia sp. and Myobia sp. (Myobiidae). In this study, the ectoparasitic ticks were represented by two species i.e. Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Hyalomma dromedarrii (Ixodidae). On the other hand, the ectoparasitic lice on R. rattus and R. norvegicus at El-Menofia Governorate were represented by one species, Polyplax spinulosa (Polyplacidae). The present study showed that the lowest number of trapped rats was 15 rats at El-Bagour district with 71 parasitic mites, 61 lice individuals and 25 tick members but the highest number of trapped rats was recorded at Menouf region (51 rates) infested with 262 different mite numbers, 23 lices and 40 tick individuals. The lowest number of parasitic mites was 69 members at Ashmoun district and the highest lice number was found at Ashmoun (943 lices) but the lowest number was recorded at Menouf (23 lices), while El-Bagour region included the lowest number of ticks (15 individuals) and the highest number was found in Quiesna (125 individuals). The current study indicated that Ashmoun district had the highest number of collected rat ectoparasites (1028 individuals), but the lowest region was El-Bagour, as, it included 147 ectoparasites individuals (mites, lice and ticks).

“…In terms of the genus Polyplax, it had a wide host spectrum in Iran (Table 1). For instance, Rattus norvegicus was specialized host for Polyplax spinulosa (spiny rat louse) in Iran similar to other studies (Koyee et al 2011;Sanchez-Montes et al 2013). This louse is cosmopolitan parasitic arthropod collected from Ratt spp.…”

Historically, rodents-ectoparasites are responsible for many diseases in human and domestic animal communities because they are well-adapted to the environment and nutritional resources. In addition, ectoparasites can affect the reproductive rates, ecological fitness and the dispersal pattern of their hosts. Data was compiled through all publications relating to ectoparasites fauna from Iranian rodents. Host specificity, rodent-parasites interaction, geographical distribution, ecological trends as well as the medical or veterinary importance of ectoparasites are considered in this review. Also, results compared with other equal global findings. According to the obtained information, the genus considered being the major vector of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Sistan-Balouchistan, Isfahan, Fars and Khuzestan are endemic provinces of this disease in Iran. Ixodes ticks (especially spp.) commonly existed throughout the months but had high activity in spring and late autumn seasons. Muridae as the most diversified rodent family was more reiterated exploited host by all parasites in this knowledge. confirmed as a positive host for by serological test but the definitive reservoir is still unclear in Iran. as a nocturnal jird has been permanently presented in semi-desert areas except Dasht-e Kavir desert. This rodent was the frequent host for Pulicid fleas followed by and (Cricetidae). was specialized host for (spiny rat louse). from Pulicidae was spread in particularly west of Iran which known as an endemic focus of plague. Mites were high diversity than other taxa. The domestic vertebrates (sheep, goat and cattle) were primitive hosts and rodents were discovered as auxiliary hosts for ticks in Iran apparently. The available data suggested that lice had a type of model of host specificity due to their morphological traits. Meanwhile, Alborz and Zagros mountains ranges provided the specialized habitats for animals which have been surrounded by northern and western regions. Perhaps these mountainous areas can prevent gene flow between local mammalian populations. Notably, the genealogy of parasite genome can orient toward the evolutionary process into speciation point. In general, more researches are needed to decipher the whole sights of host-parasite association and the role of ectoparasites within zoonosis diseases.
