Abstract excerpt
Pseudolynchia canariensis (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) is a hematophagous ectoparasite of pigeons with recognized veterinary and epidemiological importance due to its association with avian hemoparasites and bacterial microorganisms. Despite its wide geographic distribution, molecular data remain limited in several regions, including Iran, and Wolbachia infection has not previously been documented in Iranian...
