Lousy big guys: Lepidophthirus macrorhini infesting seals from Antarctica
The present work represents a contribution to the ecology of a little known host parasite association, i.e. sucking lice and Antarctic seals. The information available regarding the health status of Antarctic seals is limited and little is known about the ecology and effect of parasites on these hos...
