Report on the contamination of Megninia Cubitalis in the Rock dove

The rock dove with its grayish blue body is one of the most familiar birds in Iran. Due to the power of flight and life, it can release various types of infectious agents such as worm, protozoa and parasitic epidemics. Four pieces of rock dove were referred to veterinary clinic in 1394 and examined for identification of external parasites. After isolating the parasites, they were prepared for accurate detection of samples and identified using valid diagnostic keys, the species Megninia cubitalis was reported for the first time from the rock dove. This mite has no respiratory vent and legs ending up with short stems. These mites are found on birds that cause them to fall. Megninia Cubitalis is an Analgidae of the family, which is considered to be a full-bodied mite. Considering that this parasite was first reported, further studies are needed to prevent other domestic birds and livestock from occurring and parasitic epidemics and also we tried to help the organization and the environmental organization and the veterinary organization to promote these goals in order to protect the environment and rare species of animals in Iran.
