Haematopinus suis (L.)—hog louse

Ex Sus scrofa (feral hog): 1F, NC, Haywood Co., Cataloochee, 1995, L2931; TN, Blount & Sevier Cos., 1979–1980 ( Smith et al. 1982, Durden et al. 1997a); TN, Blount Co., 16 Oct. 1986, S. Patton; TN, Sevier Co., 1 Apr. 1980, S. Patton (Durden et al. 1997a).

The hog louse occurs almost worldwide as a hostspecific parasite of domestic and feral hogs ( Durden & Musser 1994). Feral hogs are not native to the Smoky Mountains but they are established there ( Linzey 1995). Haematopinus suis is a vector of Swinepox Virus and Eperythrozoon parvum (Durden 2002) .
