Louse fly (Diptera, Hippoboscidae) associations with raptors in southern Canada, with new North American and European records
Valerie Levesque‐Beaudin, Bradley J. Sinclair
Abstract
in Europe was confirmed for the first time. Based on the different parameters recorded during banding, it appears that the host species and the month play a part in the presence of louse flies on the host. Further study of louse flies is needed to better understand their prevalence across different bird groups and geographic distribution.
