Abstract

A total of 87 migrant quails were captured during Autumn from Alexandria beach to be examined for ectoparasites infestation. The percent of infestation was 59.8 %. Three species of lice were recovered namely Oxylipeurus dentatus, Lipeurus caponis and Menacanthus pallidulus. O. dentatus was found to be the most common louse infesting the investigated migrant quails. One species of mite was recovered which belonged to the family Proctophyllodidae , genus Pterophagus. Further studies were needed to identify the actual species of these mites.
