Remarks: Menacanthus stramineus was introduced to Chile and other countries by human agency with chickens and/or turkeys. Menacanthus stramineus is haematophagous (Wilson 1933); consequently, it can be a serious pest of captive birds by causing anaemia and transmitting microorganisms that cause disease (Derylo 1970; 1977).
