Morphological study on chelopistes-meleagridis linnaeus, 1758 an ectoparasite on Turkeys in Egypt, using sem

الملخص EN

Chelopistes meleagridis is an ectoparasite on turkeys in Egypt.

The investigation dealt with some parts of this species including, head (a striking feature in the temple was expanded and sexual dimorphism in the first segment of antennae), thorax (legs) and genitalia (female and male).

The characters of these parts were described using SEM to give more details where little information is available from the literature.
