Forty-one belted kingfishers, Megaceryle alcyon (Linnaeus) (Aves: Coraciiformes: Alcedinidae), from Manitoba, Canada were examined for ectoparasites in 1995–2020. One species of chewing louse, Alcedoffula alcyonae Carriker (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Philopteridae), infested 48.8% of hosts. The mean intensity of infestation was 17.1, and mean abundance was 8.5 lice per bird. Distribution of infestation was highly aggregated. Although female lice outnumbered males, the sex ratio was not significantly different from 1.0. The ratio of nymphs to females was 2.6. An unidentified species of feather mite of the genus Proterothrix Gaud (Acari: Astigmatina: Proctophyllodidae) infested three of 35 hosts (8.6%). No mites were found in the quills of primary feathers from 19 birds, and no nasal mites were collected from 32.

1995年至2020年，对来自加拿大马尼托巴省的41条带状翠鸟，大尾Mega（Linnaeus）（Aves：Co形目：Alcedinidae）进行了体外寄生虫检查。咀嚼虱的一种，Alcedoffula alcyonae Carriker（Phthiraptera：Ischnocera：Philopteridae），感染了48.8％的宿主。平均侵染强度为17.1，平均丰度为每只鸟8.5虱。感染的分布高度聚集。尽管女性虱子的数量多于男性，但其性别比与1.0并无显着差异。若虫与雌性的比例为2.6。Proterothrix属的一种未鉴定的羽毛螨高德（Acari：Astigmatina：Proctophyllodidae）感染了35例宿主中的3例（8.6％）。在19羽鸟类的初级羽毛中没有发现螨虫，并且从32羽鸟类中未发现任何鼻螨。
