Abstract

Seventy of 190 (37%) mammals, representing 14 rodent and 2 lagomorph species examined in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge in southern Nevada, were parasitized by sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura). Twelve species of sucking lice (5 species of Hoplopleruridae, 7 species of Polyplacidae) were recorded. Nine of these louse species (Hoplopleura difficilis, Hoplopleura ferrisi, Hoplopleura onychomydis, Hoplopleura reithrodontomyis, Fahrenholzia reducta, Haemodipsus setoni, Neohaematopinus citellinus, Neohaematopinus neotomae, and Polyplax auricularis) are reported from Nevada for the first time, and Po. auricularis is recorded from Peromyscus eremicus (cactus deermouse) for the first time. Infestation prevalences, mean intensities, sex ratios, host associations, and host specificity are presented and discussed for each louse-host interaction.

摘要

在位于内华达州南部的沙漠国家野生动物保护区，研究了 190 种哺乳动物中的 70 种（占 37%），这些哺乳动物代表了 14 种啮齿动物和 2 种兔形目动物，它们都被吸血虱（虱目：吸虱科）寄生。共记录到 12 种吸血虱（5 种血虱科，7 种食毛虱科）。其中有 9 种虱是首次在内华达州发现，即：Hoplopleura difficilis、Hoplopleura ferrisi、Hoplopleura onychomydis、Hoplopleura reithrodontomyis、Fahrenholzia reducta、Haemodipsus setoni、Neohaematopinus citellinus、Neohaematopinus neotomae 和 Polyplax auricularis。此外，首次在 Peromyscus eremicus（仙人掌地鼠）身上发现了 Polyplax auricularis。本文介绍并讨论了每种虱与宿主的相互作用的感染率、平均强度、性别比例、宿主关联性和宿主特异性。
