    Chewing lice (phthiraptera) species found on birds along the Aras River, Iğdır, Eastern Turkey
    (KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2011) Dik, Bilal; Sekercioglu, Cagan Hakki; Kirpik, Mehmet Ali
    Chewing lice were sampled from the birds captured and ringed between September-October 2009 at the Aras River (Yukari Ciyrikli, Tuzluca, Igdir) 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)
    (KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2010) Dik, Bilal; Sekercioglu, Cagan Hakki; Kirpik, Mehmet Ali; Inak, Sedat; Uslu, Ugur
    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.
