Seasonal Prevalance and Intensities of Four Species of Phthirapteran on Blue Rock Pigeon at Meerut Uttar Pradesh

Abstract Lice population on avian host ranges from nil to thousand per host.prevalance and intensities of lice population on blue rock pigeon were observed throughut the year 2017 in Meerut region Uttar pradesh. Four species of lice such as Columbicola columbae, Companulotes bidentatus compar, Colpocephalum turbinatum and Hohorstiella lata were found,inhabit the exterior surface of blue rock pigeon. We assumed a hypothesis that four species of phthiraptera inhabit the pigeon body show similar result in prevalance and . To tested this hypothesis, we examined adult male ,female and nymph of all four phthirapteran species every month of the year . the obtained result show that avian lice exhibit variation in population abundance and prevalance in different season of the year in spite of the fact that they live in a microclimate of considerable constancy (offered by the plumage of the host). The prevalance of four kinds of lice on the 360 pigeons describe that C.columbae was the most prevalent louse on the pigeons, followed by C. turbinatum and C. bidentatus compar. The amblyceran louse H.lata remained the least prevalent pigeon louse. Furthermore, the result show the mean monthly prevalance of first three pigeon lice were significantly correlated to mean monthly temperature and photoperiod but not to humidity. However mean monthly prevalance of H.lata were not found significantly correlated to the three ecofactors mentioned above.
Keywords Columbicola columbae, Companulotus bidentatus compare, Colphocephalum turbinatum, Hohorstiella lata.
