This study aimed to detect the incidence, seasonal variation, age susceptibility of domestic pigeon to P. canariensis as well as ultra-morphological and molecular identification of circulating species (spp.) in Egypt. To achieve this aim; different pigeon premises in El- Gharbia governorate were investigated to correlate the findings with environmental factors responsible for parasitism. A total of two hundred pigeons (100 squabs and 100 adult) were examined for the presence of P. canariensis. during the period from March 2020 to March 2021. The incidence of P. canariensis was 64% among the examined birds. Higher incidence was recorded in young squabs than adults. P. canariensis infestation was predominant in both summer and spring seasons. The pigeon fly is a medium to large sized, flat with a flattened head, thorax and abdomen with short sheathed palpi (twice longer than broad). The wings are characterized by weak posterior veins, which have five veins behind the costal vein. The molecular characterization of this fly using the COX I (GenBank accession No. MW853922) was revealed that 704 bp, which displayed as 99.78% identity with the COI gene of Pseudolynchia sp. In a conclusion, to manage the external parasitism; sanitation and cleanliness are essential. Deltamethrin (Butox, 12.5 %) is effective insecticides periodically used as spray to overcome ectoparasites infestations for both bird and surrounding environment.

本研究旨在检测家鸽对P. canariensis的发病率、季节变化、年龄易感性以及埃及传播物种（spp.）的超形态和分子鉴定。为实现这一目标；对 El-Gharbia 省的不同鸽舍进行了调查，以将调查结果与导致寄生的环境因素相关联。总共检查了 200 只鸽子（100 只雏鸽和 100 只成年鸽子）是否存在加那利斑鸠。2020 年 3 月至 2021 年 3 月期间。受检鸟类中P. canariensis的发病率为 64%。年轻乳鸽的发病率高于成人。加那利松虫害在夏季和春季都占主导地位。鸽子是一种中到大型，扁平，头部、胸部和腹部扁平，有短鞘（比宽长两倍）。翅的特点是后脉弱，在肋静脉后有5条脉。使用 COX I（GenBank 登录号 MW853922）对该果蝇进行的分子表征显示为 704 bp，与Pseudolynchia sp的 COI 基因具有 99.78% 的同一性。总之，管理外部寄生；卫生和清洁是必不可少的。溴氰菊酯（Butox，12.5 %）是一种有效的杀虫剂，定期用作喷雾剂以克服鸟类和周围环境的外寄生虫感染。
