Type host: “Sheep” = Ovis View in CoL aries Linnaeus, 1758.
Malaysian host: Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758 .
Malaysian locality: “West Malaysia ” ( Mustaffa-Babjee 1969); Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia ( Vivi-Susantie et al. 2020).
Geographical distribution: Cosmopolitan, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions ( Durden & Musser 1994; Price & Graham 1997).
Remarks: The adult male and female of Linognathus africanus were redescribed and illustrated by Ferris (1932a, 1951). Linognathus africanus is a common parasite of goats and sheep ( Durden & Musser 1994), but there are also reports of massive infestations on deer ( Odocoileus hemionus and O. virginianus ) in North America ( Brunetti & Cribbs 1971; Foreyt et al. 1986). It is of great concern that L. africanus is poorly documented in Malaysia ( Vivi-Susantie et al., 2020) because life-threatening pathogens, such as Rickettsia , have been reported in this louse species (Ehlers et al. 2019).
