Sea lice infestations cause significant economic losses in the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry. To biologically control sea lice at farming sites, cleaner fish such as lumpfish are employed. However, the efficacy of lumpfish is under constant debate, primarily due to limited knowledge of digestion times, which makes it difficult to interpret the number of salmon lice found in the stomach contents of dissected lumpfish.

Galictis cuja is one of the least known mustelids in South America, with its frequency and distribution poorly documented across the Neotropical region from Mexico to Brazil. In February 2024, a female was rescued by fishermen on Porto Beach in Imbituba, Santa Catarina. A clinical examination revealed ectoparasites on the animal, identified as Trichodectes galictidis, a louse species not detected in these animals for over 70 years.

Lice (Phthiraptera) are obligate ectoparasites of birds and mammals found worldwide. Chewing lice, belonging to the families Menoponidae and Philopteridae, are particularly diverse in Brazil, although their distribution is unevenly documented across states. This study focused on recent collections from protected areas in Maranhão and Piauí, the sampling involved mist netting and comprehensive ectoparasite examination, with specimens identified using both light microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

The sea lice Caligus elongatus and Lepeophtheirus salmonis are both causing problems in salmonid aquaculture. Since the salmonid specialist L. salmonis represents the dominating problem, research on host-parasite interactions has focused on L.
