Bird Louse Flies Ornithomya spp. (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) as Potential Vectors of Mammalian Babesia and Other Pathogens

Eva Cisovska Bazsalovicsova et al.

Summary: Birds and mammals share ectoparasites that can transmit a wide range of pathogens. Louse flies, which feed on the blood of mammals and birds, are known to act as vectors for infectious agents. Molecular analysis identified two species of louse flies (O. avicularia and O. biloba), and the screening for vector-borne pathogens showed the presence of Babesia, Wolbachia, and Trypanosoma corvi, but not Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., Rickettsia spp., Bartonella spp., and Hepatozoon canis. The findings suggest that louse flies may play a role in the transmission and spread of Babesia and other pathogens through host switching, which has important epidemiological implications.

First records raise questions: DNA barcoding of Odonata in the middle of the Mediterranean

Tomasz Rewicz et al.

Summary: The first DNA barcoding study of odonates from the Maltese Islands identified 10 morphologically identified species, successfully identifying 80% of the species with eight species having unique Barcode Index Numbers (BINs). The taxonomic status of Ischnura genei is questionable, and further studies are needed to resolve this and clarify the phylogenetic relationship of Anax parthenope.

Promiscuous specialists: Host specificity patterns among generalist louse flies

Aleksi Lehikoinen et al.

Summary: Ectoparasites such as louse flies show tendencies for host specialization driven by host biology and competition avoidance, but certain bird-specific louse fly species exhibit a wide range of suitable hosts. Factors such as host size, habitat, and breeding strategy influence host preference among bird louse fly species. DNA barcodes for Finnish Hippoboscidae species are provided as a resource for future species identification and metabarcoding studies.

Louse fly (Diptera, Hippoboscidae) associations with raptors in southern Canada, with new North American and European records

Valerie Levesque-Beaudin et al.

Summary: This study found a 12.5% prevalence of louse flies on raptors in Canada, representing four species with some new distribution records. The research suggests that the host species and the migration month may influence the presence of louse flies. Further study of louse flies is needed to better understand their prevalence across different bird groups and geographic distribution.

Two New Haplotypes of Bartonella sp. Isolated from Lipoptena fortisetosa (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) in SE Poland

Katarzyna Bartosik et al.

Summary: This study presents the discovery of two new haplotypes of Bartonella sp. in Lipoptena fortisetosa parasitizing wild cervids in south-eastern Poland, confirming the presence of this invasive ectoparasitic species in the studied area since 2013. Phylogenetic analyses of the newly obtained Bartonella sp. haplotypes revealed their unique position on the constructed tree and network topology. The rpoB gene sequences found belonging to lineage B support the idea that this phylogenetic lineage represents a novel Bartonella species.
