“…in Central and South America (Samuel and Trainer, 1972). In North America, Lipoptena mazamae is host specific to the whitetailed deer, but has been reported as an incidental ectoparasite of domestic cattle, pumas (Puma concolor), and humans in the United States (Drummond, 1966;Forrester et al, 1996). Lipoptena mazamae has been implicated in the transmission of anaplasmosis of cattle (Drummond, 1966) and Trypanosoma cervi in cervids (Strickland et al, 1981); however, the precise role of deer keds in the transmission of either agent has not been investigated.…”

ABSTRACT:Deer keds, Lipoptena mazamae (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), were collected from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and humans in Georgia and South Carolina, USA (1 October 2001-6 January 2005) and screened for the presence of DNA from Bartonella spp. Forty deer keds were screened for Bartonella spp. by polymerase chain reaction using primers specific to the riboflavin synthase gene (ribC) of Bartonella. Bartonella species closely related to Bartonella schoenbuchensis and to the etiologic agent of cat-scratch disease (Bartonella henselae) were detected in 10 keds and one ked, respectively.

“…Very few records of L. mazamae parasitizing M. gouazoubira are available, both for Brazil and worldwide, and only four articles reporting this parasitic relationship were found in a literature search (RIBEIRO et al, 2003;DEEM et al, 2004;MARQUES et al, 2009;SOUZA et al, 2017), one from Gran Chaco, Bolivia (DEEM et al, 2004) (Table 1). On the other hand, several records of L. mazamae as parasites in other mammals, such as O. virginianus (white-tailed deer) (BEQUAERT, 1956;SAMUEL and TRAINER, 1972;GARCIA et al, 2020) and cattle (EADS, 1949;DRUMMOND, 1966) have been reported. The present study is relevant, as few studies concerning parasite records for M. gouazoubira are available.…”

Louse flies (Lipoptena mazamae) are important Gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) parasites, and can be found in large numbers in this mammal. Their distribution is known for just a few locations, and because of this, it is so important to report new records of this association. To contribute with knowledge concerning this parasitism relationship, a record of this fly species parasitizing a deer individual in southern Brazil is reported herein. Such records are paramount, as L. mazamae displays both zoonotic and medical importance, due to the potential propagation of etiological agents that cause diseases. Moreover, as far as we know, this study is only the fifth study that reports this association worldwide, indicating its relevance. It is very important to perform studies as these, because we may contribute to new records of this association of parasitism, therefore, we contribute to alert authorities to the possible association of these parasites with diseases that may pose problems for human and other animal health. Moscas da família Hipoboscidae (Lipoptena mazamae) são parasitos muito importantes do veado-catingueiro (Mazama gouazoubira), podendo ser encontrados em uma considerável abundância nesse mamífero. Sua distribuição é conhecida em apenas alguns locais, e, por causa disso, é muito importante reportar novos registros dessa associação de parasitismo. Para contribuir com o conhecimento dessa associação, é reportado aqui um novo registro dessa mosca parasitando um indivíduo de veado-catingueiro. Esses registros se destacam, pois L. mazamae possui importância médica e veterinária, devido ao seu potencial de veicular agentes etiológicos causadores de doenças. Além disso, depois de nossas pesquisas, concluímos que este é apenas o quinto estudo reportando essa associação no mundo, indicando, portanto, sua relevância. Estudos como este são relevantes, pois contribuem com novos registros dessa associação de parasitismo, e, portanto, pode-se também servir como alerta às autoridades para a possível associação desses parasitos com doenças que podem causar danos à saúde humana e de outros animais.

“…Lipoptena mazamae Rondani (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) is an ectoparasite of white‐tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ), mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus ) and brocket deer ( Mazama spp.) (Drummond, 1966) that spend a majority of their adult life within the host pelage (Mogi, 1975; Kettle, 1990). Samuel & Trainer (1972) and Forrester et al (1996) reported that this species was the most prevalent ectoparasite of white‐tailed deer in southern Texas and Florida.…”

“…are known to act as vectors for Bartonella spp. in deer (Halos et al, 2004;Reeves et al, 2006) as well as Bartonella henselae in felines (Kordick et al, 1999), Anaplasma in cattle (Drummond, 1966) and Trypanosoma cervi in cervids (Strickland et al, 1981). Additional transmission may occur when the wingless adult moves from adult deer to their nursing fawns (Samuel & Trainer, 1972).…”

Louse flies, also known as deer keds (Lipoptena mazamae Rondani), infest cervids such as white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus and vector pathogens such as Anaplasma and Bartonella schoenbuchensis to cattle and humans, respectively. The population genetic structure of 30 L. mazamae collected from white-tailed deer in four regions of Arkansas, U.S.A., designated by county boundaries, was examined using DNA sequences of a 259-bp region of the mitochondrial DNA rRNA 16S gene. Of the 259 nucleotide characters, 33 were variable and 6 haplotypes were identified. Two haplotypes occurred only once (haplotype 3 and 4), whereas two other haplotypes occurred in 43% (haplotype 1 in two regions) and 40% (haplotype 6 in three regions) of the samples. Phylogenetic relationships of the six L. mazamae haplotypes were constructed with other Hippoboscid and Glossinid samples and two clades resulted. Clade 1 was located in the north and western Ozarks whereas clade 2 was found in the northern and eastern Ozarks. Results from the present study indicate that Lipoptena may be a polyphyletic genus; consequently, more research into genetic variation within this genus is necessary.
