Size Correlations between Sucking Lice and Their Hosts Including a Test of Harrison's Rule
… typically have larger parasites. In this study, sucking lice (Insecta: Anoplura) were used to test this rule. Sucking lice should provide a good test for this rule because they are generally host-specific and because, as a group, they parasitize hosts of different sizes. Also, sucking lice use …

Host-parasite cophylogeny and rates of evolution in two rodent-louse assemblages
… and Heteromyidae) and their associated lice (Geomydoecus and Fahrenholzia, respectively) show a statistically significant pattern of cophylogeny. Both host groups are generally solitary organisms and both louse groups are obligate ectoparasites, often exhibiting extreme degrees of host …

Flea and Louse Infestations of Cotton Rats (Sigmodon Hispidus) In The Southeastern United States
… Prevalence and mean intensity of parasitism by sucking lice (Anoplura) and fleas (Siphonaptera) of cotton rats were recorded at all sites. The geographical distribution of S. hispidus and its main louse and flea ectoparasites range from the neotropical region to the southeastern USA. It was …

Annual cycle and morphology of lice parasitizing two sympatric African small mammals (Micaelamys namaquensis and Elephantulus myurus)
… (abiotic) and host/parasite (biotic) factors. Lice of the suborder Anoplura are permanent haematophagous ectoparasites that spend their entire life cycle on the host. Due to this close relationship, most studies have reported that lice are mainly affected by biotic rather than abiotic factors. …
