Abstract
Studies regarding the rate of population increase of poultry wing louse Lipeurus caponis in vivo condition revealed that initial inoculums of 10 L. caponis could produce an average of 318 lice after 90 days in summer (indicating the doubling time to be 18 days) and during winter months it produced 336 lice (the doubling time 22 days). Thus, studies clearly indicated that ischnoceran lice (e.g. L. caponis) multiplied population at moderate rate. Summer months are more favorable for population build up of lice.
