ResumoUm estudo sobre os principais malófagos de 35 galinhas-d'angola provenientes de cinco municípios do estado do Rio de Janeiro (Barra Mansa, Maricá, Itaboraí, Cachoeira de Macacu e Cambuci) foi realizado a partir da pesquisa de penas, coleta de piolhos, contagem de espécimens, acondicionamento em álcool 70%GL. Das 35 aves estudadas, 100% apresentaram-se parasitadas. Oito espécies foram e suas respectivas prevalências foram: Menopon galinae (100%); Menacanthus stramineus (2,8%); Menacanthus pallidulus (2,8%); Colpocephalum turbinatum (2,8%); Lipeurus caponis (31,4%); Lipeurus tropicalis (2,8%); Goniodes gigas (25,7%) e Goniocotes gallinae (40%). O poliparasitismo foi observado, sendo a associação, Menopon gallinae x Goniocotes gallinae, a mais prevalente. O contato das galinhas-d'angola com diferentes espécies de aves domésticas pode ter propiciado o parasitismo de malófagos comuns às outras espécies de aves. Pela primeira vez no Brasil são registrados em galinhas-d'angola espécies de piolhos Menacanthus stramineus, Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum, Lipeurus caponis, Lipeurus tropicalis e Goniodes gigas. As espécies Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum e Lipeurus tropicalis foram registradas pela primeira vez neste hospedeiro, na literatura mundial.Palavras-chave: galinha-d'angola, malófagos, criação extensiva. AbstractA total of 35 guinea-fowls, Numida meleagris, were examined for lice at five municipalities in the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, (Barra Mansa, Maricá, Itaboraí, Cachoeiras de Macacú e Cambuci). All birds were infested by lice. Eigth chewing lice species were encountered and their respective prevalence were found: Menopon galinae (100%); Menacanthus stramineus (2,8%); Menacanthus pallidulus (2,8%); Colpocephalum turbinatum (2,8%) Lipeurus caponis (31,4%); Lipeurus tropicalis (2,8%); Goniodes gigas (25,7%) and Goniocotes gallinae (40%) . The polyparasitism was observed being the association between Menopon gallinae and Goniocotes gallinae, the most prevalent one. The contact among guinea-fowls and other domestic birds might have been responsible for the parasitism with lice common to other bird species. For the first time it was registered in Brazil the occurrence of the following chewing lice in guinea-fowls: Menacanthus stramineus, Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum, Lipeurus caponis, Lipeurus tropicalis and Goniodes gigas. The chewing lice species: Menacanthus pallidulus, Colpocephalum turbinatum and Lipeurus tropicalis were registered for the first time in guinea-fowls.
