| effects of a neem seed extract (mitestop®) on mallophages (featherlings) of chicken: in vivo and in vitro studies. | mallophages of birds (featherlings) are mostly very tiny and can even as adults better be recognized by their movements than by their elongate body shape when using just the naked eye. since some species (e.g., the "shaft louse" menopon gallinae, the elongate feather louse lipeurus caponis, or columbicola sp.) may pierce the pulp of feathers or the skin by their biting or scratching mandibles and thus lick the excreted blood, they may be extremely dangerous especially to young birds, even if the ... | 2011 | 21744016 |
| diversity and prevalence of ectoparasites on backyard chicken flocks in california. | peridomestic ("backyard") chicken flocks are gaining popularity in the developed world (e.g., north america or europe), yet little is known regarding prevalence or severity of their ectoparasites. therefore, five birds on each of 20 properties throughout southern california were surveyed in summer for on-host (permanent) and off-host dwelling (temporary) ectoparasites. only four premises (20%) were entirely free of ectoparasites. in declining order of prevalence (% of premises), permanent ectopa ... | 2016 | 26753948 |
