Molecular characterization of Lipoptena cervi from environmental samples collected in Poland
2021, International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeCitation Excerpt :Nowadays, the incidental infestation of humans with L. cervi has also been reported (Härkönen et al., 2009; Kortet et al., 2010). Humans bitten by louse flies can develop dermatitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or even anaphylactic shock (Rantanen et al., 1982; Laukkanen et al., 2005; Decastello and Farkas, 2010). According to Härkönen et al. (2009), the number of people who require medical treatment for deer ked dermatitis will continue to increase.
Keds, the enigmatic flies and their role as vectors of pathogens
2020, Acta TropicaCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, humans may face serious health issues due to L. cervi parasitism (Kortet et al., 2010), developing chronic dermatitis (Härkönen et al., 2009) and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (Laukkanen et al., 2005). Human diseases associated to L. cervi have been considered occupational conditions, as it affects workers in forests and national parks (Laukkanen et al., 2005). Meanwhile, it is also a potential concern for humans in recreational field activities (e.g., camping, running, hiking) during adult keds host-searching season (i.e., later summer and early autumn), when primary host population density is high (Härkönen et al., 2009; Kortet et al., 2010).
