Note:
This host-louse association is the result of a misidentification or a cross contamination of the lice. Although
Colpocephalum turbinatum
has been recorded from a wide range of host genera and species, there have been no record from
Meleagris gallopavo
(see
Price
et al
. 2003
). Instead, this bird is host to another species:
Colpocephalum tausi
(Ansari, 1951)
.
