Infestation of Columba livia domestica GMELIN with Mallophaga has been investigated in both, breeding and feral pigeons. All pigeons came from the area of Cracow. Five species of Mallophaga have been distinguished: Columbicola columbae columbae (L.), Campanulotes bidentatus compar (BURM.), Coloceras damicornis fahrenholzi EICHLER, Hohorstiella gigantea lata (PIAG.), Neocolpocephalum (Neocolpocephalum) turbinatum (DENNY). It appeared that the first two of the above-mentioned species showed the highest intensity of occurrence. The most frequent was the mixed invasion of these two species. Research on infestation with Mallophaga with regard to the origin of pigeons showed bigger infestation of breeding pigeons, besides, the females were more intensively infested that the males. The higher degree of infestation occurred in old and weak pigeons.
已对家鸽（鸽形目鸽科）感染食毛目寄生虫的情况进行了调查，研究对象包括繁殖鸽和野生鸽。所有鸽子均来自克拉科夫地区。已鉴别出五种食毛目寄生虫：鸽鸽虱（鸽虱指名亚种）、双齿鸽虱（双齿鸽虱近似种）、角角羽虱（法氏角角羽虱）、巨长鸽虱（巨长鸽虱宽亚种）、新突头鸽虱（新突头鸽虱）。结果表明，上述前两种寄生虫的感染强度最高。最常见的是这两种寄生虫的混合感染。关于鸽子来源对食毛目寄生虫感染情况的研究表明，繁殖鸽的感染情况更严重，此外，雌性鸽子的感染程度比雄性更严重。年老体弱的鸽子感染程度更高。
