“…Many morphological features, such as stout spine-like setae on their gular, dorsal hind head, and dorsal prothorax, are shared by T. querquedulae which mainly occurs in ducks [16,18,22], T. querquedulae is smaller in size (4.3–5.8 mm in length [22]) and it has fewer setae in prosternum, smaller brush patches of fewer hairs around short spine-shaped setae on sternites IV and V, and a smaller thickening in the dorsal wall of the female genital chamber than T. anserinum [16,18,22]. Our samples (Fig.…”

Chewing Lice of Swan Geese (Anser cygnoides): New Host-Parasite Associations

Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) that parasitize the globally threatened swan goose Anser cygnoides have been long recognized since the early 19th century, but those records were probably biased towards sampling of captive or domestic geese due to the small population size and limited distribution of its wild hosts. To better understand the lice species parasitizing swan geese that are endemic to East Asia, we collected chewing lice from 14 wild geese caught at 3 lakes in northeastern Mongolia. The lice were morphologically identified as 16 Trinoton anserinum (Fabricius, 1805), 11 Ornithobius domesticus Arnold, 2005, and 1 Anaticola anseris (Linnaeus, 1758). These species are known from other geese and swans, but all of them were new to the swan goose. This result also indicates no overlap in lice species between older records and our findings from wild birds. Thus, ectoparasites collected from domestic or captive animals may provide biased information on the occurrence, prevalence, host selection, and host-ectoparasite interactions from those on wild hosts.

SummaryThis study was performed to detect chewing lice on some birds investigated in Eskişehir and Konya provinces in Central Anatolian Region of Turkey between 2008 and 2010 years. For this aim, 31 bird specimens belonging to 23 bird species which were injured or died were examined for the louse infestation. Firstly, the feathers of each bird were inspected macroscopically, all observed louse specimens were collected and then the examined birds were treated with a synthetic pyrethroid spray (Biyo avispray-Biyoteknik®). The collected lice were placed into the tubes with 70% alcohol and mounted on slides with Canada balsam after being cleared in KOH 10%. Then the collected chewing lice were identified under the light microscobe. Eleven out of totally 31 (35.48%) birds were found to be infested with at least one chewing louse species. Eighteen lice species were found belonging to 16 genera on infested birds. Thirteen of 18

“…After cleared in 10% KOH, the specimens were washed in distilled water for 24 h, and passed through a graded series of 70%, 80%, 90% and 96% alcohol, and mounted in Canada balsam on the slides. The slides were dried in an incubator at 50-60°C for 2-3 weeks and examined by light microscopy for species identification in compliance with descriptions made in relevant literatures [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . Data was analyzed by chi-square test.…”

“…Similarly, Price et al 15 have not reported any Trinoton species from the common shelduck or the ruddy shelduck. Clay and Hopkins 9 indicated that, when identifying Trinoton querquedulae and Trinoton anserinum, the major differentiating features that should be sought are the spine-like setae on the 4 th and 5 th sternites and the differences observed in the genital chamber of female lice; and also pointed out to the fact that the genital chamber of female lice could be better observed under a phase-contrast microscope. In the present study, Trinoton specimens were encountered on two ruddy shelducks and one common shelduck.…”

SummaryThe present study was conducted between September 2010 and November 2011 to identify louse species parasitizing ducks at Lake Akşehir. Within the study period, 54 ducks, which belonged to seven different avian species (teal, garganey, shoveler, northern pintail, mallard, ruddy shelduck, common shelduck) and were found either alive or wounded or had been shot by hunters, were examined for the presence of lice. After examined macroscopically for the presence of ectoparasites, all ducks were placed into a white tub and medicated with propoxur or tetramethrin. The louse specimens collected from the animals were preserved in 70% alcohol, cleared in 10% KOH, passed through a graded series of alcohol, and mounted in Canada balsam for species identification by light microscopy. Of the 54 ducks examined, 29 (53.70%) were found to have been infested with lice. In total, eight louse species were identified, 4 (Anatoecus regina, Anaticola magnificus, Holomenopon tadornae, Trinoton querquedulae) of which had infested the ruddy shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea), 2 (Anaticola crassicornis, Trinoton sp.) of which had infested the common shelduck (Tadorna tadorna), 4 (A. crassicornis, Anatoecus dentatus, Anatoecus icterodes, Trinoton querquedulae) of which had infested the teal (Anas crecca), 1 (T. querquedulae) of which had infested the garganey (Anas querquedula), 3 (A. crassicornis, T. querquedulae and Holomenopon sp.) of which had infested the shoveler (Anas clypeata), and 4 (Anaticola crassicornis, Anatoecus icterodes, Trinoton querquedulae, Holomenopon clypeilargum) of which had infested the northern pintail (Anas acuta). Of the identified louse species listed above, A. regina, A. magnificus, H. tadornae and H. clypeilargum are reported for the first time from avian species in Turkey. On the global scene, Trinoton querquedulae is reported for the first time from the ruddy shelduck and Trinoton sp. is reported for the first time from the common shelduck.
