Linognathus pedalis ( Osborn, 1896) View in CoL

Similar to Linognathus ovillus , Linognathus pedalis typically infests sheep and was regarded as having a cosmopolitan distribution by Durden & Musser (1994). Still, there are no records of this louse species from sheep or any other host from Malaysia ( Mustaffa-Babjee 1969; Vivi-Susantie et al. 2020). Currently, information of pathogens transmitted by L. pedalis is scarce ( Durden 2019). Hence, it is important that more studies of sucking lice on goats and sheep be conducted in Malaysia.
