Prelezov, P. | Lyutskanov, M. (Trakia University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Stara Zagora (Bulgaria))
It was observed that bacterial isolates on lice's body surface belonged to 5 while those in lice's viscera - to 3 genera. No obligate avian pathogens were isolated. There were some differences in the composition between the external and the inner bacterial microflora of each Mallophaga species as well as between the various species in chickens. A correlation between the characteristics of Mallophaga bacterial contamination and these related to mobility, location and feeding mode of each Mallopaga species was determined.
