“…In other countries, the presence of T. lipeuroides has been reported in white-tailed deer fawns (O. virginianus) in Canada (Colwell et al, 2008) and in four white-tailed deer in the Virgin Islands National Park, USA (Mertins et al, 2017). However, for Mexico, the first report of T. lipeuroides was in Mexican white-tailed deer (O. virginianus mexicanus; Sánchez-Montes et al, 2018) and for Veracruz white-tailed deer (O. virginianus veraecrucis; Estrada-Souza et al, 2020), but this is the first case report of T. lipeuroides in M. temama for Mexico.…”

Objective: To identify the taxonomy of lice of the family Trichodectidae present in a captive population of M. temama.Methodology: Lice were collected from 15 red brocket (Temazate) deer (M. temama) in captivity at the Unit for the Conservation, Management and Sustainable Use of Wildlife El Pochote, Ixtaczoquiltan, Veracruz, Mexico. The deer were sedated and inspected in the ventral and inguinal zone, ears and tail to collect the lice, which were observed with bright field microscopy and electron microscopy. Then, with the use of taxonomic keys, lice were identified up to species.Results: A total of 155 lice identified as Tricholiperus lipeuroides were collected in 8 females and 7 males of M. temama. The prevalence was 60% (9 out of 15 deer had lice) at an average abundance of 10 lice per deer. The inguinal and ventral zone were the areas of the body where most of the collected lice were detected. Implications: This study expands the knowledge about ectoparasites in M. temama incaptivity, recording for the first time the association of the chewing louse T. lipeuroideswith this species of deer. The deer analyzed did not present clinical signs such as hairloss. This information is not yet reported in other studies; there are no previous casereports for Mexico.Conclusions: The presence of T. lipeuroides in M. temama is reported for the first timein the UMA El Pochote, Ixtaczoquitlán, Veracruz, Mexico. Since M. temama sharessome areas of the enclosures in the UMA with O. virginianus, the Temazate became ahost of T. lipeuroides.

“…Fenced enclosures present physical barriers that exclude wild hosts from mingling with livestock. The movement of deer, hosts to a wide range of ectoparasitic arthropods [ 537 ], into cattle pastures and rangeland can be restricted by fencing [ 516 ]. Deer exclusion from a fenced-off area in New York for 25 y reduced ixodid infestations by ≈90% on mammalian hosts [ 464 , 538 ].…”

Ixodids (hard ticks), ectoparasitic arthropods that vector the causal agents of many serious diseases of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, have become increasingly difficult to control because of the development of resistance against commonly applied synthetic chemical-based acaricides. Resistance has prompted searches for alternative, nonconventional control tactics that can be used as part of integrated ixodid management strategies and for mitigating resistance to conventional acaricides. The quest for alternative control tactics has involved research on various techniques, each influenced by many factors, that have achieved different degrees of success. Alternative approaches include cultural practices, ingested and injected medications, biological control, animal- and plant-based substances, growth regulators, and inert desiccant dusts. Research on biological control of ixodids has mainly focused on predators, parasitoid wasps, infective nematodes, and pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Studies on animal-based substances have been relatively limited, but research on botanicals has been extensive, including whole plant, extract, and essential oil effects on ixodid mortality, behavior, and reproduction. The inert dusts kaolin, silica gel, perlite, and diatomaceous earth are lethal to ixodids, and they are impervious to environmental degradation, unlike chemical-based toxins, remaining effective until physically removed.

“…En la actualidad, se sabe que existen muchas áreas de bosque fragmentados por el hombre; sin embargo, los venados, así como otras animales, son parasitados por algunos artrópodos, como piojos del género Tricholipeurus, garrapatas de géneros Amblyomma, Ixodes y Rhipicephalus, pulgas del género Pulex y moscas Lipoptena sp. (Estrada-Souza et al 2020, Sánchez-Montes et al 2018, Álvarez-Robles et al 2018, Mukul-Yerves et al 2014. Estos artrópodos pueden transmitir enfermedades, como tripanosomiasis y bartonelosis, entre muchas otras (Romero-Castañón et al 2008).…”
