Louse
Louse (: lice) is the common name for any member of the infraorder Phthiraptera, which contains nearly 5,000 species of wingless parasitic insects. Phthiraptera was previously recognized as an order (biology), order, until a 2021 genetic study determined that they are a highly modified lineage of the order Psocodea, whose members are commonly known as booklice, barklice or barkflies. Lice are obligate parasites, living externally on warm-blooded Host (biology), hosts, which include every species of bird and mammal, except for monotremes, pangolins, and bats. Chewing lice live among the hairs or feathers of their host and feed on skin and debris, whereas sucking lice pierce the host's skin and feed on blood and other secretions. They usually spend their whole life on a single host, cementing their eggs, called Head louse#Eggs/Nits, nits, to hairs or feathers. The eggs hatch into Nymph (biology), nymphs, which moult three times before becoming fully grown, a process that takes a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ischnocera
Ischnocera is a large parvorder of lice from the infraorder Phthiraptera. The parvorder consists of Mallophaga, chewing lice, which feed on the feathers and skin debris of birds. Many species of Ischnocera have evolved an elongated body shape. This allows them to conceal themselves within plumage to avoid being dislodged during preening or flight. Species in Ischnocera spend their entire lives living on a host, and attach themselves to Hippoboscidae, hippoboscid flies to help move across individual birds. Ischnocera contains the large family (biology), family Philopteridae, along with a few other minor families. Ischnocera are distributed globally, with around 3,800 species identified. The lice are very host-specific, and each species rarely parasitizes outside of their preferred bird species. Birds infested by Ischnocera's species can experience discomfort and damage to reproductive systems. Classification Ischnocera previously included the mammalian parasitic lice Trichodectera ...
