The perils of using host relationships in parasite taxonomy: phylogeny of the Degeeriella complex.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 May 2002

Johnson Kevin P, Weckstein Jason D, Witt Christopher C, Faucett Robert C, Moyle Robert G

Abstract excerpt

The taxonomy of lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) is often heavily influenced by host taxonomy. The use of host information to define genera of avian lice in the widespread Degeeriella complex has been prevalent but has created problems. Several workers have suggested that genera defined on the basis...
