    Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) found on songbirds (Passeriformes) in Turkey.
    (2011) Dik B.; Kirpik M.A.; Sekercioğlu C.; Saşmaz Y.
    This study was performed to detect chewing lice species found on the songbirds at Lake Kuyucuk bird ringing station in the Kars province located in eastern Turkey. Chewing lice were collected from songbirds captured between September and October 2009. Fifty-one birds belonging to 22 species and 16 genera from 10 families were examined for the louse. Eleven of 51 birds (21.57%) belonging to 7 species; were infested with at least one chewing louse species. The collected lice were identified as Menacanthus chrysophaeus (Kellogg, 1896) on Reed Bunting, Menacanthus pusillus (Nitzsch,1866) on Water Pipits, Calandra Lark and Yellow Wagtail, Myrsidea rustica (Giebel,1874) on Swallow, Brueelia cruciata (Burmeister,1838) on Red-backed Shrike, and Penenirmus rarus (Zlotorzycka,1976) on Chiffchaff. All four Reed Bunting specimens were infested with Menacanthus chrysophaeus. The rate of infestation was 100% in Reed Bunting, Red-backed Shrike and Swallow; 66.7% in Yellow Wagtail; 50% in Calandra Lark and Chiffchaff and 11.1% in Water Pipits. No louse infestation was found in the birds belonging to Paridae, Passeridae, Sylviidae, and Muscipapidae families. Menacanthus chrysophaeus on Reed Bunting and Menacanthus pusillus on Calandra Lark are new hosts for these lice species. All the louse species determined in the present study are first records for Turkey.

    Chewing lice (phthiraptera) species found on birds along the Aras River, Iğdır, eastern Turkey
    (Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2011) Dik B.; Şekercioğlu C.H.; Kirpik M.A.
    Chewing lice were sampled from the birds captured and ringed between September-October 2009 at the Aras River (Yukari{dotless} Çi{dotless}yri{dotless}kli{dotless}, Tuzluca, I?di{dotless}r) bird ringing station in eastern Turkey. Eighty-one bird specimens of 23 species were examined for lice infestation. All lice collected from the birds were placed in separate tubes with 70% alcohol. Louse specimens were cleared in 10% KOH, mounted in Canada balsam on glass slides and identified under a binocular light microscope. Sixteen out of 81 birds examined (19.75%) were infested with at least one chewing louse specimens. A total of 14 louse species were found on birds. These were: Austromenopon durisetosum (Blagoveshtchensky, 1948), Actornithophilus multisetosus (Blagoveshtchensky, 1940), Anaticola crassicornis (Scopoli, 1763), Cummingsiella ambigua (Burmeister, 1838), Menacanthus alaudae (Schrank, 1776), Menacanthus curuccae (Schrank, 1776), Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838), Menacanthus pusillus (Niztsch, 1866), Meromenopon meropis (Clay&Meinertzhagen, 1941), Myrsidea picae (Linnaeus, 1758), Pseudomenopon scopulacorne (Denny, 1842), Rhynonirmus scolopacis (Denny, 1842), and Trinoton querquedulae (Linnaeus, 1758). Four specimens of Holomenopon sp. collected from Nortern Pintail (Anas acuta), one specimen of Menacanthus sp. collected from European Robin (Erithacus rubeculae), and Menacanthus sp. collected from Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula) were not identified. Seven louse species; A. multisetosus, C. ambigua, M. alaudae, M. curuccae, M. eurysternus, M. picae, and P. scopulacorne are first records for Turkey.

    Chewing lice (phthiraptera) species found on Turkish shorebirds (charadriiformes)
    (Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2010) Dik B.; Şekercioğlu C.H.; Kirpik M.A.; Inak S.; Uslu U.
    This study was carried out to determine chewing lice species of waders between September-October 2009 at Lake Kuyucuk Bird Ringing Station in Kars, eastern Turkey. Fourty-one birds belonging to two families (Scolopacidae and Sternidae), five genera and the following species were examined: Chlidonias leucopterus, Gallinago gallinago, Tringa glareola, Calidris minuta, Calidris alpina, Calidris temminckii, and Philomachus pugnax. Birds were caught in mistnets, ringed, examined for ectoparasites and released unharmed. To sample chewing lice, the feathers of each bird were carefully rubbed with a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide dust, over a white piece of paper. Thereafter, birds were placed in a breathable paper bag for 5 min. All lice were collected and placed in tubes with 70% alcohol. Lice specimens were cleared in 10% KOH, mounted in Canada balsam and identified under binoculer light microscope. Thirty-six out of 41 birds examined (88%) were infested with at least one chewing louse species. All individuals of Chlidonias leucopterus, Calidris minuta, C. alpina, C. temminckii and Philomachus pugnax were infested, whereas 4 out of 9 (44.4%) Gallinago gallinago had chewing lice. A total of 20 lice species were found on birds. These were: Austromenopon sp., Austromenopon lutescens (Burmeister, 1838), A. durisetosum (Blagoveshtchensky, 1948), A. alpinum Timmermann, 1954, A. atrofulvum (Piaget, 1880), Actornithophilus totani (Schrank, 1803), A. pustulosus (Piaget, 1880), A. stictus (Kellogg and Chapman, 1899), A. umbrinus (Burmeister, 1838), Carduiceps scalaris (Piaget, 1880), C. zonarius (Nitzsch, 1866), C. meinertzhagani Timmermann, 1954, Quadraceps obscurus (Burmeister, 1838), Q. anagrapsus (Nitzsch, 1866), Lunaceps actophilus (Kellogg and Chapman, 1899), Lunaceps holophaeus (Burmeister, 1838), L. drosti Timmermann, 1954, L. incoensis (Kellogg and Chapman, 1899), Rhynonirmus scolopacis (Denny, 1842), and Saemundssonia lobaticeps (Giebel, 1874). All louse species documented here are first records for Turkey, increasing the number of bird louse species known from Turkey by about 40%. Austromenopon sp. found on Tringa glareola belongs to a species probably new to science.
