Haematopinus
Haematopinus is a genus of insects in the suborder Anoplura, the sucking lice. It is the only genus in the family Haematopinidae,[1] known commonly as the ungulate lice.[2] All known species are of importance in veterinary medicine.[1] These lice are some of the worst ectoparasites of domestic animals.[3] Species infest many domesticated and wild large mammals, including cattle, horses, donkeys, swine, water buffalo, African buffalo, antelope, zebra, deer, and camels.[3]
