Indeed, we have identified seven species of ectoparasites: the mites which are: Ornithonyssus bursa (
haematophagous mites), Falculifer sp (feather mites) and Cnemidocoptes laevis colombae (Gale plucking) with four species of lice; Columbicola columbae; Campanulotes bidentatus, Hohorstiella lata (pigeon lice) and Physconelloides eurysema (chicken lice and some columbidae).
Haematophagous arthropod saliva and host defense system: a tale of tear and blood.
Identification of bloodmeals in
haematophagous Diptera by cytochrome B heteroduplex analysis.
80 to 90% of infections in humans occur when
haematophagous triatomine bug feces come into contact with wounded skin or mucosae [1].
Mechanical transmission of trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and yaws through the agency of non-biting
haematophagous flies.
Females of most species of the Corethrellidae are
haematophagous and feed on anuran blood to obtain protein for egg development (Williams & Edman 1968; McKeever 1977; McKeever & French 1991).
Moreover, it might be due to
haematophagous nature of H.
They are
haematophagous (feeds on blood), and strictly host specific to humans.
Examples of ectoparasites associated with northern mockingbirds include mites (Knemidokoptidae, Macronyssidae, Proctophyllodidae, and Trombiculidae; Ventura, 1968; Phillis and Cromroy, 1972; McClure, 1987, 1989; Latta and O'Connor, 2001), ticks (Ixodidae; Wilson and Durden, 2003), lice (Menoponidae and Philopteridae; Burmeister, 1838; Cicchino and Emerson, 1983; Wilson and Durden, 2003), and
haematophagous flies (Muscidae; Ventura, 1968), some of which potentially could be observed in nests of lark sparrows as a result of behavior associated with re-use of nests.
The adaptive value of hatching towards the end of the night: lessons from eggs of the
haematophagous bug Rhodnius prolixus.
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is the most important
haematophagous ectoparasite of cattle (FORTES, 1993); it has larger geographic distribution and economic importance for producing- cattle countries in tropical and subtropical areas in the world.
N,N-Diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA): a safe and effective repellent for personal protection against
haematophagous arthropods.
