Mouthparts of ectoparasites and host damage
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2011
Synopsis
Photographs were displayed of the mouthparts of some important arthropod parasites of British livestock as viewed with a scanning electron microscope. Ectoparasites included in the demonstration were Damalinia ovis, the body louse of sheep; Haematopinus eurysternus, the short-nosed cattle louse; Ceratophyllus gallinae, the hen flea; Melophagus ovinus, the sheep ked and Ixodes ricinus, the sheep tick. Photographs of livestock infested with these parasites were also displayed.
