Type host: Bos taurus Linnaeus, 1758 —Domestic cattle. Type locality: Not given, but Emerson & Price (1975) noted it was in Europe. Malaysian host: Bos taurus. Malaysian locality “West Malaysia ”, Peninsular Malaysia (Mustaffa-Babjee 1969). Geographical distribution: Worldwide, except Antarctica. Remarks: Bovicola bovis is the only chewing louse parasitic on domestic cattle. Mustaffa-Babjee (1969) recorded B. bovis from cattle in Peninsular Malaysia, but without specifying the actual locality. Considering that studies of B. bovis in Malaysia are scarce, it is imperative to investigate the prevalence of this species from livestock, as B. bovis is known to affect cattle hide quality and cause a number of deteriorating symptoms, such as anemia and malnutrition (Durden 2019).
