Samples were collected from different areas in Lahore from Match to August, 1991
A total of 1500 indigenoLls birds were examined, 826 were found infested with ectoparasites, showing an overall infestation rate of 55.07%. The infesatioii rate of ticks, lice, mites and mixed infestation (ticks + lice) was recorded as 14.47%, 32.93%, 0.33% and 7.34% respectively.
The species of ecloparasites identified were: Ag persicus (fowl tick), Menopon gjjjnae, Menacanthus stramineus, Lipeurus cjjçnis, Goniocj
gigas (lice), and Cnemidocoptes mutans (scaly leg mite). The infestation

percentage of the above mentioned species was: 14.47, 15.47, 7.86, 5.7jand
0.33 respectively.
I Iaeniatological examinations were made to compare the blood
picture of healthy and fowl lick (ig prsicus) infested indigenous birds. For this purpose 50 blood samples each from healthy and fowl tick infested birds were examined. Blood jJirameters studied were: haemoglobin, total
