Abstract:
In North Sinai, in a total of 304 goats, 218 (71.7%) were infested with 3 species of lice. These were Bovicola caprae (31.6%), Linognathus africanus (24.01%) and L. stenopsis (10.53%). Infestation with more than one species of lice was also seen. The highly infested season was winter (56.9%) and the least was spring (6.9%). The highly infested body site was hip (17.7%) and the least infested one was britch (6.6%). The economic loss of goats infested with lice was discussed.
