Abstract

In this paper, the morphological characters of an ischnoceran louse, Goniodes dissimilis (Denny, 1842) infesting Domestic fowl, Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) was studied through Scanning Electron Microscope. In Odisha, G. dissimilis was discovered for the first time on Gallus gallus domesticus. The study indicated that the taxonomic studies on the phthirapteran fauna of G. g. domesticus deserved further investigation.
