| | Transmission from mouse to mouse or rat to rat is by direct contact and by fomites (objects). | | | These can cause anemia, but even more importantly for rats, they may transmit the blood parasite Hemobartonella muris, which is a rickettsial blood parasite similar to tick fever. | | | Both the mouse and rat lice are Anoplura (bloodsuckers), making it vital to your pet that you rid them of these pests as quickly as possible. |

| | The true lice (or Anoplura) are found on the bodies of many Mammalia, and occasion by their presence intolerable irritation. | | | Two species of Pediculus are found on the human body, and are known ordinarily as the head-louse (P. capitis) and the body-louse (P. vestimenti); P. capitis is found on the head, especially of children. | | | Both agree in having nothing that can be termed a metamorphosis; they are active from the time of their exit from the egg to their death, gradually increasing in size, and undergoing several moults or changes of skin. |

| | In 1946 he changed his mind and placed them all in the order Anoplura. | | | Morphological and molecular evidence strongly support the view that the Anoplura and Rhyncophthirina are sister taxa, and that they are closer to Ischnocera than the latter two are to the more primitive Amblycera. | | | This view is also held by Emerson and Carriker. |

| | FLEAS |
| | The rear legs arise from the metathorax and this area is well developed as a consequence of this. | | | Fleas have a less specific range of hosts than Anoplura and Mallophaga which increases the chance of pathogen transmission. | | | In contrast to Anoplura fleas are flattened laterally allowing them to travel quickly through host hair. |

| | The irritation due to the body-louse weakens the host and prevents sleep, besides which there is a certain psychic disgust which causes many officers to fear lice more than they fear bullets. | | | In quite recent books the Anoplura are described as 'lice or disgusting insects, about which little is known'; but lately, owing to researches carried on at Cambridge, we have found out something about their habits. | | | LICE form a small group of insects known as the Anoplura, interesting to the entomologist because they are now entirely wingless, though it is believed that their ancestry were winged. |

| | Unlike many other ectoparasites, the Phthiraptera cannot survive long if separated from the body of their host. | | | This lineage presumably gave rise to other sucking lice (suborder Anoplura), all of which are blood-feeding ectoparasites of placental mammals. | | | The order is divided into four suborders (Ischnocera, Amblycera, Rhynchophthirina, and Anoplura) distinguishable from one another by the size of the head, the shape of the third antennal segment, and the presence or absence of maxillary palps. |

| | SUCKING LICE |
| | There is a alternative taxonomic nomenclature that places the order Mallophaga which are the biting lice, into a suborder of the Anoplura, with sucking lice being placed in the suborder Siphunculata. | | | Sucking lice tend to be larger than biting lice, up to 8mm and have small heads in relation to body size. | | | Differences between the two sexes are relatively easy to distinguish with females having two pairs of gonopods laying laterally on the ventral surface and males have an elongate genitalia along the midline of the lateral surface. |

| | Unless you are a taxonomist or very seriously studying these insects it is not important to make a decision which form of classification you prefer. | | | There is considerable argument to suggest that the Sucking Lice (Siphunculata) and the Biting Lice (Mallophaga) are part of a single order the 'Anoplura' and you may find that what I have treated as two separate orders here, are classified as two suborders under the common title of 'Anoplura' elsewhere. | | | It is not expensive and should be thoroughly enjoyable, so if you like it please tell people about it, or better still give it to someone as a present for Christmas of a birthday. |
