| Lice
are usually tiny ectoparasites of back-boned animals especially those
bearing feathers or fur. Almost all mammal and bird species have at
least one louse evolved to a part of their body – even marine
mammals and birds are not exempt. For instance the ubiquitous Eurasian
Coot has 5 lice species in 3 Families living on various parts of its
body. Of course we are not also exempt with Head and Pubic lice on
our unwanted list. 73 more species available in the collection |
