Pedicinidae

provided by wikipedia EN

Pedicinus is a genus of sucking louse, the only genus in the family Pedicinidae.[2] Species belonging to this genus are found on Old World monkeys and apes of different kinds.[3][4] Pedicinus, along with its sister genus Pthirus, are believed to have diverged from their common ancestor approximately 22.5-2.5 million years ago.[5]

Pedicinus has been studied on a genetic level by researchers looking for insight into the evolutionary history of their primate hosts.[6]

Pedicinidae ( Norwegian )

provided by wikipedia NO

Pedicinidae er en gruppe av hudparasitter som lever i pelsen på pattedyr. Den tilhører gruppen av lus (kalt Anoplura) som har sugende munndeler og får næring ved å drikke blod fra verten.

Utseende

Liv og utvikling

Lusene i denne familien lever på apekatter i den gamle verden (Cercopithecidae), blant andre marekatter, makaker, bavianer og kolobusaper.

Utbredelse

Familien følger vertsdyrenes utbredelse og forekommer i Afrika og Asia.
