connections between poultry biting lice and microflora.	microorganisms were found in about 300 mallophaga ( menopon gallinae, eomenacanthus stramineus , goniocotes gallinae) and 11 host hens. the majority of isolated bacteria was determined as grampositive cocci. the microflora found on the surface of and inside the mallophaga as well as in the samples of hen's skin did not exhibit significant qualitative differences. the internal microflora in mallophaga appeared qualitatively a little poorer than the external. breeding of bacteria from interior tis ...	1984	6721248

association between duration of humid season and geographical distribution patterns of different species of chewing lice (mallophaga:insecta) infesting domestic chickens in nigeria.	in a countrywide study of the geographical distribution patterns of chicken lice in nigeria, 3 species, menacanthus pallidulus (neumann 1912), goniodes dissimilis denny, 1842, and menopon gallinae (linnaeus, 1758), were completely restricted to within areas with a long humid season (6-12 humid mo per yr). in constrast, 4 species, cuclotogaster occidentalis tendeiro, 1954, menacanthus cornutus (schommer, 1913), amyrsidea powelli (bedford, 1920), and goniodes gigas (taschenberg, 1879), thrived onl ...	1996	8973420
ecto-, endo- and haemoparasites in free-range chickens in the goromonzi district in zimbabwe.	a cross-sectional study determined the prevalence of ecto-, endo- and haemoparasites in free-range chickens from the goromonzi district, zimbabwe. fifty young and 50 adult birds were selected randomly. all chickens harboured ecto- and endoparasites, and 32% were infected with haemoparasites. eight different ectoparasites were identified; the more prevalent ones had the following prevalences (young, %; adult, %): argas persicus (6; 14), cnemidocoptes mutans (6; 32), echidnophaga gallinacea (72; 7 ...	2002	12114010
population expansion of the poultry fluff louse, goniocotes gallinae (de geer, 1778) (ischnocera, phthiraptera).	a study was undertaken to determine the rate of population expansion of an ischnoceran phthiraptera, goniocotes gallinae (infesting the domestic fowl, gallus gallus domesticus), on the basis of in vitro and in vivo studies. data obtained from in vitro rearing were utilized to construct the life history of the louse. the values of the gross reproductive rate (12.49 female eggs/female), net reproductive rate (8.31 female eggs/female), mean length of generation (36.91 days), precise generation time ...	2007	17867830
[species, dynamics and population composition of phthirapteran in free-range chickens (gallus gallus l.) in são luis island, state of maranhão].	the objective of this work was to identify the phthirapteran species, to determine the prevalence according to the anatomical region of the body and to know the dynamics and composition of the population of these ectoparasites in free-range chicken in são luis island, state of maranhão. inspection was performed in 40 chickens and feathers were collected from the head, neck, wing, thigh, dorsal and ventral regions and cloacae. the phthirapteran species identified were: menopon gallinae l., menaca ...	2008	18641896
chewing lice (phthiraptera) on chickens (gallus gallus) from small backyard flocks in the eastern part of the czech republic.	one hundred and sixty chickens (gallus gallus) from 31 small, private backyard flocks in the eastern part of the czech republic were examined for chewing lice (phthiraptera: amblycera, ischnocera). at least one species of chewing lice was found on every bird examined. seven species of chewing lice were identified in all; they had the following prevalences and mean intensities: goniocotes gallinae (100%; 110 lice), menopon gallinae (88%; 50), menacanthus stramineus (48%; 17), lipeurus caponis (35 ...	2008	18280661
prevalence and seasonal variation of ectoparasite load in free-range chicken of kashmir valley.	a faunistical study of ectoparasites was carried out for a period of two years from january 2005 to december 2006 in rural free-range chicken purchased from different areas of kashmir valley. screening of a total of 478 birds revealed only lice infestation with an overall prevalence of about 100% and 97.69% birds harboring multiple species. the prevalence for various species of lice, during winter, spring, summer, autumn and overall prevalence respectively, was 90.32%, 99.14%, 100%, 98.34% and 9 ...	2009	19252998
