“…Differences in size and shape of feathers and of parasites seem also to provide the necessary habitat heterogeneity and morphological adaptations for parasites to segregate (Crompton 1997). The Common Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) harbors Degeeriella rotundata and D. secondaria on its flight feathers, while Myrsidea interrupta and Philopterus corvi are confined to the plumage of its breast (Morgan and Waller 1941). We recorded that lice of the genus Colpocephalum occurred mainly in the wings but were present in other body parts.…”

The aim of this study was to identify the ectoparasite community that may be found on the body of Glossy Ibis chicks Plegadis falcinellus in two Algerian wetlands, Chatt and Lake Fetzara, during the breeding season of 2010. Birds were parasitized by the following chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) species at both study sites: Plegadiphilus plegadis and Colpocephalum leptopygos (both Menoponidae), Ardeicola rhaphidius and Ibidoecus bisignatus (both Philopteridae). In addition, one tick (larva) Ixodes ricinus was also found at Lake Fetzara. All these ectoparasites were recorded in Algeria for the first time. Results showed that chewing lice varied in their spatial distribution at the infracommunity level with some species displaying no microhabitat preferences, whereas others confined themselves to specific body parts of their hosts. The recorded frequency pattern of chewing lice followed the negative binomial distribution.Dviejose Alžyro šlapžemėse (Chatt ir Fetzara ežerai) 2010 metų perėjimo laikotarpiu nustatyta rudojo ibio Plegadis falcinellus jauniklių ektoparazitų bendrijos rūšinė sudėtis. Abiejose vietovėse paukščius parazitavo utėlės Plegadiphilus plegadis ir Colpocephalum leptopygos (Menoponidae), bei Ardeicola rhaphidius ir Ibidoecus bisignatus (Philopteridae). Fetzara šlapžemėje aptikta viena erkės Ixodes ricinus lerva. Visi šie ektoparazitai Alžyre užregistruoti pirmą kartą. Šeimininke utėlės buvo pasiskirsčiusios nevienodai: vienos jų parazitavo tik specifinėse šeimininko kūno dalyse, kitoms mikrobuveinės selektyvumas nepasireiškė. Utėlių pasiskirstymas atitiko neigiamą binominį modelį.

“…In these studies, citizen scientists aided researchers directly on-site with ectoparasite collection. Other studies had those with professional wildlife access solely or assist with capturing and gathering target species, after which researchers collected the target ectoparasites [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ].…”

“…Big game species are also most likely to appear at check stations or processors, as opposed to small game animals, such as squirrels or rabbits, which do not usually need to be checked and are generally processed at home. Though some of the studies searched game birds for ectoparasites [ 56 , 65 , 67 , 115 ], these kinds of investigations were much less common and relatively specific when implemented, focusing on only one hunted clade or species. There are many species that can never be reached by hunters, anglers, and trappers since most migratory birds and many reptiles and amphibians are banned from harvest in the U.S. and Canada.…”

“…Interestingly, we did not find studies dedicated to passive citizen scientist collections of lice, which are often host-specific and stay with their animal hosts post-feeding. Instead, studies that collected lice from animals took an integrative approach, where citizen scientist submissions were supplemented by researcher collections or researchers actively searched for lice on animals collected by citizen scientists [ 65 , 69 , 108 , 115 ].…”

Many vector-borne diseases that affect humans are zoonotic, often involving some animal host amplifying the pathogen and infecting an arthropod vector, followed by pathogen spillover into the human population via the bite of the infected vector. As urbanization, globalization, travel, and trade continue to increase, so does the risk posed by vector-borne diseases and spillover events. With the introduction of new vectors and potential pathogens as well as range expansions of native vectors, it is vital to conduct vector and vector-borne disease surveillance. Traditional surveillance methods can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when surveillance involves sampling from animals. In order to monitor for potential vector-borne disease threats, researchers have turned to the public to help with data collection. To address vector-borne disease and animal conservation needs, we conducted a literature review of studies from the United States and Canada utilizing citizen science efforts to collect arthropods of public health and veterinary interest from animals. We identified common stakeholder groups, the types of surveillance that are common with each group, and the literature gaps on understudied vectors and populations. From this review, we synthesized considerations for future research projects involving citizen scientist collection of arthropods that affect humans and animals.
