30 Σεπ 2015 · Lice are insects that live on the skin and fur of an affected pet. A “louse” is the term for a single insect. Lice are external parasites that chew on the skin or suck the blood, causing skin irritation, itchiness, and possible anemia in severe infestations. Untreated pets can develop pediculosis over the entire body.
Lice are small insects that parasitize the coats and plumage of a wide range of domestic and wild animal species including: cats, dogs, mice, rats, guinea pigs, horses, livestock (goats, sheep, cattle), wild and cage birds, poultry, water-birds and humans.
louse, (order Phthiraptera), any of a group of small wingless parasitic insects divisible into two main groups: the Amblycera and Ischnocera, or chewing or biting lice, which are parasites of birds and mammals, and the Anoplura, or sucking lice, parasites of mammals only.
Pediculidae (Body Lice) — includes the human body louse (Pediculus humanus humanus) and the human head louse (P. humanus capitis). Pthiridae (Pubic Lice) — includes Pthirus pubis, the human pubic (or crab) louse. Louse-borne disease is particularly common in wartime when soldiers are forced to live in crowded and unsanitary conditions.
Lice infestation can occur in debilitated or stray dogs and cats, but is rare in populations treated with monthly flea and tick preventatives. As is true for other species, pruritus, self-trauma and roughened haircoat are common clinical signs.
