Mitochondrial phylogenetics of biting and sucking lice in sheep and goats from Erbil province: Evolutionary insights and host-specific adaptations.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports - 1 Sept 2026

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships of lice and their infestation pattern in small ruminants in Erbil Province. We use mitochondrial cox1 gene sequencing for molecular characterization and to assess epidemiological risk factors for these ectoparasites. Lice samples were collected from sheep and goats in several districts. Lice samples were obtained...
