Abstract

Objective: Present study was performed to record the oviposition and egg laying pattern of two phthirapteran species infesting red whiskered Bulbul. Methods: The number of egg laid by each species on different parts of body was recorded by direct observation under stereozoom binocular microscope. Feathers bearing egg were subjected to SEM to observe the pattern of egg laying.Results: The maximum percentage of egg of the ischnoceran louse, Brueelia guldum were recorded on feather of back region, followed by neck and breast. The amblyceran louse, Menacanthus eurysternus prefers to lay eggs mainly on neck, head and nape feathers.Conclusion: The ischnoceran louse, Brueelia guldum exhibits widespread oviposition sites while amblyceran louse, Menacanthus eurysternus shows restricted oviposition sites on the host body.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma kırmızı-bıyıklı Bülbül'ü enfeste eden iki phthirapteran türünün yumurtlama ve yumurta bırakma biçimlerini kaydetmek için yapıldı. Yöntemler: Her bir tür tarafından vücudun farklı bölgelerine baırakılan yumurta sayısı stereo-zum binoküler mikroskop altında doğrudan gözlem yolu ile kaydedildi. Yumurta taşıyan kuş tüyleri yumurta bırakma biçimini gözlemek için SEM'e tabi tutuldu.Bulgular: Ischnocera alttakımından bir bit olan Brueelia guldum'un yumurtaları en fazla oranda sırt bölgesi tüylerinde, takiben boyun ve göğüs belgesindeki tüylerde kaydedildi. Amblycera alttakımından bir bit olan Menacanthus eurysternus başlıca boyun, baş ve ense tüylerine yumurta bırakmayı tercih etmekteydi.Sonuç: Ischnocera alttakımından bir bit olan Brueelia guldum konakçı vücutta yaygın yumurtlama bölgesi göstermekte iken amblycera alttakımından bir bit olan Menacanthus eurysternus kısıtlı yumurtlama bölgesi göstermektedir.
