ABSTRACT FLEAS, HOSTS AND HABITAT: WHAT CAN WE PREDICT ABOUT THE SPREAD OF VECTOR-BORNE ZOONOTIC DISEASES? MEGAN M. FRIGGENS Vector-borne diseases of humans and wildlife are experiencing resurgence across the globe. I examine the dynamics of flea borne diseases through a comparative analysis of flea literature and analyses of field data collected from three sites in New Mexico: The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, the Sandia Mountains and the Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP). My objectives were to use these analyses to better predict and manage for the spread of diseases such as plague (Yersinia pestis). To assess the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on flea communities, I compiled and analyzed data from 63 published empirical studies. Anthropogenic disturbance is associated with conditions conducive to increased transmission of flea-borne diseases. Most measures of flea infestation increased with increasing disturbance or peaked at intermediate levels of disturbance. Future trends of habitat and climate change will probably favor the spread of flea-borne disease. -

It has been accepted for inclusion in Distance Master of Science in Entomology Projects by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Diana Gallagher Master’s Project for the M.S. in Entomology An Annotated Bibliography of Archaeoentomology April 2020 Introduction For my Master’s Degree Project, I have undertaken to compile an annotated bibliography of a selection of the current literature on archaeoentomology. While not exhaustive by any means, it is designed to cover the main topics of interest to entomologists and archaeologists working in this odd, dark corner at the intersection of these two disciplines. I have found many obscure works but some publications are not available without a trip to the Royal Society’s library in London or the expenditure of far more funds than I can justify. Still, the goal is to provide in one place, a list, as comprehensive as possible, of the scholarly literature available to a researcher in this area. The main categories are broad but cover the most important subareas of the discipline. Full books are far out-numbered by book chapters and journal articles, although Harry Kenward, well represented here, will be publishing a book in June of 2020 on archaeoentomology. -

Analyses of these data produced trees that largely supported the traditional classification; however, monophyly of the infraorder Psocathropetae (= Psyllipsocidae + Prionoglarididae) was not recovered. Instead, the family Psyllipso- cidae was recovered as the sister taxon to the infraorder Atropetae (= Lepidopsocidae + Trogiidae + Psoquillidae), and the Prionoglarididae was recovered as sister to all other families in the suborder. -
Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis
Taxonomic, Ecological and Quantitative Examination of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) and Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in Manitoba, Canada By Alexandra A. Grossi A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Science Department of Entomology University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2013 by Alexandra A. Grossi 0 Abstract Over 19 years chewing lice data from Canada geese and mallards were collected. From Canada geese (n=300) 48,669 lice were collected, including Anaticola anseris, Anatoecus dentatus, Anatoecus penicillatus, Ciconiphilus pectiniventris, Ornithobius goniopleurus, and Trinoton anserinum. The prevalence of all lice on Canada geese was 92.3% and the mean intensity was 175.6 lice per bird. From mallards (n=269) 6,986 lice were collected which included: Anaticola crassicornis, A. dentatus, Holomenopon leucoxanthum, Holomenopon maxbeieri and Trinoton querquedulae. The prevalence of lice on mallards was 55.4% and the mean intensity was 42.0 lice per bird. Based on CO1, A. dentatus and Anatoecus icterodes were synonymised as A. dentatus. Anatoecus was found exclusively on the head, Anaticola was found predominantly on the wings, Ciconiphilus, Holomenopon and Ornithobius were observed in several body regions and Trinoton was found most often on the wings of mallards. i Acknowledgments I express my sincere thanks to my supervisor Dr. Terry Galloway for introducing me to the fascinating and complex world of chewing lice, and for his continued support and guidance throughout my thesis. I also like to thank my committee member Dr. -

Co-Extinct and Critically Co-Endangered Species of Parasitic Lice, and Conservation-Induced Extinction: Should Lice Be Reintroduced to Their Hosts?

L AJOS R ÓZSA and Z OLTÁN V AS Abstract The co-extinction of parasitic taxa and their host These problems highlight the need to develop reliable species is considered a common phenomenon in the current taxonomical knowledge about threatened and extinct global extinction crisis. However, information about the parasites. Although the co-extinction of host-specific conservation status of parasitic taxa is scarce. We present a dependent taxa (mutualists and parasites) and their hosts global list of co-extinct and critically co-endangered is known to be a feature of the ongoing wave of global parasitic lice (Phthiraptera), based on published data on extinctions (Stork & Lyal, 1993; Koh et al., 2004; Dunn et al., their host-specificity and their hosts’ conservation status 2009), the magnitude of this threat is difficult to assess. according to the IUCN Red List. We list six co-extinct Published lists of threatened animal parasites only cover and 40 (possibly 41) critically co-endangered species. ixodid ticks (Durden & Keirans, 1996; Mihalca et al., 2011), Additionally, we recognize 2–4 species that went extinct oestrid flies (Colwell et al., 2009), helminths of Brazilian as a result of conservation efforts to save their hosts. vertebrates (Muñiz-Pereira et al., 2009) and New Zealand Conservationists should consider preserving host-specific mites and lice (Buckley et al., 2012).

Genetic Structure and Gene Flow of the Flea Xenopsylla Cheopis in Madagascar and Mayotte Mireille Harimalala1*†, Sandra Telfer2†, Hélène Delatte3, Phillip C
Harimalala et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:347 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2290-6 RESEARCH Open Access Genetic structure and gene flow of the flea Xenopsylla cheopis in Madagascar and Mayotte Mireille Harimalala1*†, Sandra Telfer2†, Hélène Delatte3, Phillip C. Watts4, Adélaïde Miarinjara1, Tojo Rindra Ramihangihajason1, Soanandrasana Rahelinirina5, Minoarisoa Rajerison5 and Sébastien Boyer1 Abstract Background: The flea Xenopsylla cheopis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) is a vector of plague. Despite this insect’s medical importance, especially in Madagascar where plague is endemic, little is known about the organization of its natural populations. We undertook population genetic analyses (i) to determine the spatial genetic structure of X. cheopis in Madagascar and (ii) to determine the potential risk of plague introduction in the neighboring island of Mayotte. Results: We genotyped 205 fleas from 12 sites using nine microsatellite markers. Madagascan populations of X. cheopis differed, with the mean number of alleles per locus per population ranging from 1.78 to 4.44 and with moderate to high levels of genetic differentiation between populations. Three distinct genetic clusters were identified, with different geographical distributions but with some apparent gene flow between both islands and within Malagasy regions. The approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) used to test the predominant direction of flea dispersal implied a recent population introduction from Mayotte to Madagascar, which was estimated to have occurred between 1993 and 2012. The impact of this flea introduction in terms of plague transmission in Madagascar is unclear, but the low level of flea exchange between the two islands seems to keep Mayotte free of plague for now. Conclusion: This study highlights the occurrence of genetic structure among populations of the flea vector of plague, X. -
