Species Diversity and Community Structure of Sucking Lice in Yunnan, China

Abstract: On the basis of investigating 9 counties (towns) in Yunnan Province of China, the species diversity and community structure of sucking lice on the body surface of small mammal hosts are studied in the paper. Species richness (S) is used to stand for the species diversity. The calculation of community diversity index and evenness are based on Shannon‐Wiener's method. 2 745 small mammals captured from the investigated sites belong to 10 families, 25 genera and 41 species in 5 orders (Rodentia, Insectivora, Scand… Show more

“…In addition, direct parasitism and the biting of some gamasid mites can cause acariasis and skin anaphylaxis (Zemskaya, 1973;Chung et al, 1998;Rosen et al, 2002;Adler & Wills, 2003). The human louse Pediculus humanus humanus (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) is a subspecies of sucking louse (suborder Anoplura) and is the vector of epidemic typhus (Rickettsia prowazeki), epidemic relapsing fever (Borellia recurrentis) and trench fever (Rickettsia quintana) (Guo et al, 2004a(Guo et al, , 2004bBrouqui & Raoult, 2006;Pittendrigh et al, 2006;Yassina et al, 2008). Fleas are vectors of several diseases, including bubonic plague, murine typhus and tularaemia (Dunnet & Mardon, 1991;Adler & Wills, 2003;Bitam et al, 2010;Wei et al, 2010).…”

“…Horse-sucking louse Haemotopinus asini (Linnaeus) was one out of two common species lice (one sucking louse and one chewing louse) on horses (Larsen et al 2005). These lice could be vectors in maintaining and extending the infection focus of some zoonoses (Jin 1999;Guo et al 2004;Thompson et al 2010). Hence, specific host selection of lice may be efficient as a biological control agent for prevention of louse-borne diseases.…”

“…Small mammal sucking lice couldn't disseminate diseases between humans and wild animals, but they have medical significance as they can maintain and extend the infection focus of some zoonoses, such as endemic typhus (murine typhus), rabbit tularemia, and even plague, etc. (Jin 1999;Guo et al 2004; Thompson et al 2010).…”
