Deer keds (Lipoptena spp.) are blood-sucking ectoparasites of domestic and wild animals, and also accidentally of humans. In Europe, five Lipoptena spp. have been recorded, although the lack of specific taxonomic keys has often led to mistaken identification or to missing data. The present study aimed to develop an identification key of the European species and also to identify Lipoptena spp. found on wild ungulates in northern Italy. In total, 390 hippoboscids were collected from Rupicapra rupicapra, Capreolus capreolus, Cervus elaphus and Ovis aries musimon in an Alpine area of Italy. After morphological identification, 140 specimens were subjected to phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial (CO1) and nuclear (CAD) gene sequences. Despite the expected presence of slight morphological variations, all specimens examined were identified both microscopically and molecularly as Lipoptena cervi (100% identity for both CO1 and CAD genes). The massive increase in wild ungulate populations can favour the possibility of detecting other species of Lipoptena. The identification keys proposed in the present study may help with monitoring the presence of Lipoptena species, particularly in European countries where this ectoparasite is neglected and for which various data (from diffusion to control methods) are still missing.

“…Ornithophila gestroi, the species genetically characterized here for the first time, parasitizes different raptor species belonging to the genus Falco, that includes species like the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), the Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni), and the Eleonora's Falcon (Gil Collado 1932, Walter 1979, Beaucournu et al 1985, Gangoso et al 2010, thus representing an important piece for studies on host-pathogen interactions on this avian group. Our results showed the presence of a single genetic haplotype in the louse fly population studied in the Canary Islands.…”

The barcoding of life initiative provides a universal molecular tool to distinguish animal species based on the amplification and sequencing of a fragment of the subunit 1 of the cytochrome oxidase (COI) gene. Obtaining good quality DNA for barcoding purposes is a limiting factor, especially in studies conducted on small-sized samples or those requiring the maintenance of the organism as a voucher. In this study, we compared the number of positive amplifications and the quality of the sequences obtained using DNA extraction methods that also differ in their economic costs and time requirements and we applied them for the genetic characterization of louse flies. Four DNA extraction methods were studied: chloroform/isoamyl alcohol, HotShot procedure, Qiagen DNeasy® Tissue and Blood Kit and DNA Kit Maxwell® 16LEV. All the louse flies were morphologically identified as Ornithophila gestroi and a single COIbased haplotype was identified. The number of positive amplifications did not differ significantly among DNA extraction procedures. However, the quality of the sequences was significantly lower for the case of the chloroform/isoamyl alcohol procedure with respect to the rest of methods tested here. These results may be useful for the genetic characterization of louse flies, leaving most of the remaining insect as a voucher. Journal of Vector Ecology 40 (1): 11-15. 2015.

“…Adult Eleonora's falcons are commonly infected by Plasmodium and Haemoproteus parasites (Gangoso, Gutiérrez‐López, Martínez‐de la Puente, & Figuerola, ; Gutiérrez‐López, Gangoso et al, ). In addition, both adults and nestlings are heavily parasitized by the louse fly Ornithophila gestroi (Gangoso et al, ), which has only been reported on Eleonora's falcon and the closely related common and lesser kestrels ( Falco tinnunculus and Falco naumanni ) (Beaucournu, Beaucournu‐Saguez, & Guiguen, ; Gangoso et al, ; Walter, ). Louse flies may play a critical role in the transmission dynamics of blood parasites in marine ecosystems, as has been found for different Haemoproteus lineages (Levin, Valkiūnas, Iezhova, O'Brien, & Parker, ; Levin et al, ; Valkiūnas et al, ).…”

Louse flies of Eleonora’s falcons that also feed on their prey are evolutionary dead‐end hosts for blood parasites

Host shifts are widespread among avian haemosporidians, although the success of transmission depends upon parasite‐host and parasite‐vector compatibility. Insular avifaunas are typically characterized by a low prevalence and diversity of haemosporidians, although the underlying ecological and evolutionary processes remain unclear. We investigated the parasite transmission network in an insular system formed by Eleonora's falcons (the avian host), louse flies that parasitize the falcons (the potential vector), and haemosporidians (the parasites). We found a great diversity of parasites in louse flies (16 Haemoproteus and 6 Plasmodium lineages) that did not match with lineages previously found infecting adult falcons (only one shared lineage). Because Eleonora's falcon feeds on migratory passerines hunted over the ocean, we sampled falcon kills in search of the origin of parasites found in louse flies. Surprisingly, louse flies shared 10 of the 18 different parasite lineages infecting falcon kills. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that all lineages found in louse flies (including five new lineages) corresponded to Haemoproteus and Plasmodium parasites infecting Passeriformes. We found molecular evidence of louse flies feeding on passerines hunted by falcons. The lack of infection in nestlings and the mismatch between the lineages isolated in adult falcons and louse flies suggest that despite louse flies’ contact with a diverse array of parasites, no successful transmission to Eleonora's falcon occurs. This could be due to the falcons’ resistance to infection, the inability of parasites to develop in these phylogenetically distant species, or the inability of haemosporidian lineages to complete their development in louse flies.
