The first report of Haematopinussuis on wild boars in Brazil
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The expansion of wild boar (Susscrofa) and its hybrids with domestic pigs is high in many parts of the world, including South America. These exotic animals have caused great economic losses in agriculture, sheep breeding and environment. Also, they can transmit various pathogens to domestic animals and humans. Two copies, one piglet and an adult female, were captured in different regions in southern Brazil. Macroscopic examination showed high lice infestation in piglet and less in the female. The lice were collected, counted and kept in alcohol 70o. Separation of males, females and nymphs was performed under stereomicroscopy. Permanent mounts were made between slide and coverslip to conduct identification. A total of 20 females, 33 males and 225 nymphs distributed throughout the body of animals were found. Microscopic examination of the slides confirmed the presence of Haematopinussuis infestation with typical morphological characteristics in both cases. This is the first record of this ectoparasite in wild boar in Brazil. Keywords: Anoplura, Artiodactyla, Suidae, Susscrofa, ectoparasites, lice, wild boar
