Abstract

Observation of a persistent infestation of turkeys by Stomoxys sp during the day and mosquitoes at night prompted this investigation. Turkeys were mostly infested by Stomoxys calcitrans (74.5%) during the day and by Culex pipiens (15.0%) at night. Plasmodium sp (5.8%) and Haemoproteus (0.1%) were transmitted by these species of flies. Other arthropods identified infesting turkeys included Haematobium sp (3.5%), Simulium sp (2.0%), Aedes sp (1.0%), Culicoides sp (0.2%) and the biting lice Menacanthus stramineus (2.5%). The most common fly species recorded around chickens were the non-biting fly Musca domestica (60.5%) during the day, and Culex pipiens (15.5%) at night. Infesting lice were M. stramineus (17.0%) and oniodes gigas (3.0%). Culicoides sp represented only 1.0% of infestation. Plasmodium sp (2.4%) was the only haemoparasite seen in blood samples examined from chicken. Pigeons were mainly infested by Pseudolynchia canariensis (85.8%) by day and Culex pipiens (12.5%) at night. M. domestica represented only 1.7%. Haemoparasites identified from the blood samples of pigeons were Haemoproteus sp (2.2%) and Plasmodium sp (0.8%). M. domestica (95.0%) and Drosophila melanogaster (5.0%) were the only flies caught around ducks. Both flies are not blood-sucking. No haemoparasite was identified from the blood samples examined. The blood sucking activity of these parasites resulted in irritation and the development of anaemia, leading to production losses due to morbidity and mortality.

尼日利亚当地家禽中寄生节肢动物及其在血液寄生虫传播中的作用的综述和病例报告

观察到火鸡在白天持续受到Stomoxys sp的侵害，而蚊子在夜间持续受到侵害，促使了这项调查。火鸡白天以钙化口蚊为主(74.5%)，夜间以淡色库蚊为主(15.0%)。疟原虫(5.8%)和嗜血杆菌(0.1%)是由这些蝇类传播的。其他节肢动物包括Haematobium sp(3.5%)、Simulium sp(2.0%)、Aedes sp(1.0%)、Culicoides sp(0.2%)和Menacanthus stramineus(2.5%)。白天以家蝇(60.5%)和夜间以淡色库蚊(15.5%)居多;侵染虱类主要为猪支原体(17.0%)和巨瘿螨(3.0%)。库蠓仅占侵害的1.0%。疟原虫(2.4%)是检验的鸡血液样本中唯一发现的血液寄生虫。白鸽以加那利伪林蝇为主(85.8%)，夜间以淡库蚊为主(12.5%)。家蝇仅占1.7%。从鸽子血样中检出的血液寄生虫为嗜血杆菌(2.2%)和疟原虫(0.8%)。在鸭周围仅捕获家蝇(95.0%)和黑腹果蝇(5.0%)。不是两种苍蝇都吸血。从所检查的血液样本中未发现血液寄生虫。这些寄生虫的吸血活动导致刺激和贫血的发展，由于发病率和死亡率导致生产损失。关键词:双翅目，血寄生虫，家禽。热带兽医Vol. 22(2) 2004: 61-71
