Notes: Records from Ovis orientalis aries , Canis lupus familiaris , Gallus gallus and Meleagris sp. are most likely the result of accidental contaminations, or phoretic transferrals by Melophagus ovinus ( Diptera : Hippoboscidae ) ( Lozoya-Saldaña et al. 1986 ). Bovicola (Bovicola) caprae is exclusively parasitic on goats ( Price et al. 2003 ).
