Linognathus pedalis
(
Osborn, 1896
)
Similar to
Linognathus ovillus
,
Linognathus pedalis
typically infests sheep and was regarded as having a cosmopolitan distribution by
Durden & Musser (1994)
. Still, there are no records of this louse species from sheep or any other host from
Malaysia
(
Mustaffa-Babjee 1969
;
Vivi-Susantie
et al.
2020
). Currently, information of pathogens transmitted by
L. pedalis
is scarce (
Durden 2019
). Hence, it is important that more studies of sucking lice on goats and sheep be conducted in
Malaysia
.
