The genus Zachvatkinia currently includes eighteen species that are associated with birds belonging to the order Charadriiformes (Dromadidae, Laridae, Stercorariidae and Sternidae) and Procellariiformes (Diomedeidae, Hydrobatidae, Oceanitidae, and Procellariidae) (Negm et al., 2013). In studies conducted to date, Zachvatkinia larica has been reported from over 20 species and subspecies of gulls worldwide (Asia, Europe, and America) (Mironov, 1989; Han et al., 2016).
