For this aim, 64 Magpie individuals were examined for the louse. In order to sample chewing lice, the feathers of the birds were carefully examined macroscopically. All lice were collected and placed in tubes with 70% alcohol, cleared in 10% KOH mounted in Canada balsam on slides and identified under a light microscope. Of birds examined, 20 out of 64 (31.25%) were infested with at least one chewing louse species. Three lice species which belongs to the three genera, Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838), Myrsidea picae (Linnaeus, 1758) and Brueelia biocellata (Piaget, 1880) were found. Brueelia biocellata is the first ever recorded in Turkey.en10.9775/kvfd.2012.7987info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMenacanthus eurysternusMyrsidea picaeBrueelia biocellataMagpieTurkeyArticle193445447Q3WOS:000321750600013Q4
