Resumen

Between April 2007 and October 2008, 367 roe deer skins were collected in difterent areas of Galicia during hunting season for this wild ruminant. The samples were taken as soon as possible to prevent loss of ectoparasites. Ectoparasites collected were preserved in alcohol (70%) for later identification following key Gil-Collado et al. (1979), Walker (1994) and Estrada-Peña et al. (2004). In animals were infected ticks, were collected and quantified all copies of each stages of development (larvae, nymphs and adults). In all roe deer studied were found four types of ectopaeasites: Ixodidae, Mallophaga, Melophagus and Hipoboscidae. In 83.1 % of roe deer studied were found ticks belonging to Ixodidae family, wich predominance of the specie Ixodes ricinus (83.1%) and lower was identified Dermacentor marginatus (0.3%, only one roe deer). Typically located of ticks were in lower body, groin area, armpits, medial region of limbs and neck. Were present different stages of l. ricinus, although were more frequent adults (82.20/0), followed by nymphs (45.6%) and larvae (27.2%). The mean intensity of infestation was 43 ticks, majority was adults (31 adults) and fewer nymphs (17) and larvae (11) were found. The relationship between females and males was 2.94. The only Demacentor marginatus parasitized roe deer had an adult female. In 3.1 % of roe deer were found Mallophaga lice infestation, of Trichodectes meyeri specie. It was also observed in 3.3% of the samples the presence of Hippobosca equina, while we observed only a deer (0.3%) infested by Melophagus ovinus. This study found a high percentage of roe deer infested by ectoparasires, especially ticks of Ixodes ricinus specie.
