| prevalence of external parasites in the south eastern desert of egypt. | external parasites in the triangle region (halaib & shalatin) affecting the animal health were studied. ectoparasites were collected in several sites by using bait traps and directly from animal bodies. results indicated the presence of twelve species of insects belonging to seven genera included in three families (calliphoridae, muscidae and sarcophagidae). concerning ectoparasites on animal bodies, there were two species of biting lice infested goats and sheep (bovicola caprae and b. ovis, res ... | 2001 | 12557945 |
| use of scanning electron microscopy to confirm the identity of lice infesting communally grazed goat herds. | lice have been described on goats in commercial farming systems in south africa but not from flocks on communal grazing. during a longitudinal survey on the causes of goat kid mortality, conducted in jericho district, north west province, lice were collected from communally grazed indigenous goats. these lice were prepared for and viewed by scanning electron microscopy, and micro-morphological taxonomic details are described. three species of lice were found in the study area and identified as b ... | 2004 | 15373329 |
