Sheep and goats are both small ruminants with cosmopolitan distributions due to their being kept historically and in modern times as grazers both individually and in herds in return for their production of milk, wool, and meat. [1] As such, the diseases of these animals are of great economic importance to humans.
Lice inhabiting birds, however, may simply leave their eggs in parts of the body inaccessible to preening, such as the interior of feather shafts. Living louse eggs tend to be pale whitish, whereas dead louse eggs are yellower. [5] Lice are exopterygotes, being born as miniature versions of the adult, known as nymphs. The young moult three ...

Ehrlichia ruminantium (formerly Cowdria ruminantium ) is transmitted mainly by Amblyomma hebraeum and Am. variegatum in Africa, causing the severe disease heartwater in cattle, sheep, and goats.
The position of these mites in relation to the skin or other organs is crucial for their feeding and also for their veterinary diagnosis and options for treatment. The mites either feed on the tissues of the skin using penetrating mouthparts or on the inflammatory exudate that results from the action of the mouthparts and saliva of the mites on ...
